wales motor show

Post by K22WES »

just seen this on another site, anyone going?

To all...

Firstly apologies this is such a long post, but having only just discovered your forum it's quite a few posts condensed into one (big one)...

I'm helping organise the first ever Welsh National Motor Show, to be held at Chepstow Racecourse on 26th August this year...

We have secured approx 15,500sq m within the racecourse grounds with the intention of not having to restrict the number of cars per club...

Car Club Cars will be given car passes for entry to the Car Club Area within the racecourse but not admission tickets to the show (see below).

The show is still partly being put together but so far we have...

Opening the Show WBO & IBF Super Middleweight Champion Joe Calzaghe.
Live Action Arena - Demo's from 'Steer From The Rear'.
D1 Cars.
DJ & MC live stage all day with entertainment etc..
Fuel Girls
Hankook Rally & Drift Car Experience. (with passenger rides)
4x4 Experience. (with passenger rides)
Helicopter rides.
Super Car Lawn.
Audio Village.
Family Fun Arena.
Meguiars Show & Shine.
Sextons of Swansea Sound-Off in Assn with EMMA
Car Club Area
All the usual Trade Stands etc...

All 'Car Club Cars' will get free entry into the Car Club Area within Racecourse but not admittance to the show itself.

'Car Club' drivers only can now have admittance to the show for just £6.
The Meguiars Show and Shine is £10 to enter on the day, but if purchased with an admission ticket the total cost will only be £15.
This only applies if bought in advance.
The Meguiars Show and Shine will be split into 4 Classes...
Best European Car at Show.
Best Japanese Car at Show.
Best American Car at Show.
Best Modified Car at Show
Each class will win a trophy and prize.
One of the three class winners will win Best at Show (hoping to get Joe Calzaghe to judge the final 4) and will win another trophy and £250.
The trophy for the 'Best at Show' will be a 5ft Nascar style trophy (more info/pics as soon as I can) this will have the drivers name engraved on it and will be presented on the day to the winner and will become an annual event.
Joe Clifford, the Editor of Banzai Magazine is going to judge best Japanese Car at Show, and is also offering a years subscription to Banzai Magazine as an added prize...
Classic American Magazine have agreed to do the same as have Max Power..
Also have got conformation from Hankook they will sponsor the 'Best Wheels at Show' and will give the winner a new set of Hankook Tyres...

All the relevant forms for 'Car Clubs' are available from the website...

I must have all entries by 10th Aug, so only a month left, all passes/tickets will be issued on 18th Aug...

The Website Homepage is currently down for some updates, but you can still navigate the rest of the site using the links at the top of this page...

http://www.walesmotorshow.com/carclubs.html

Entry to the 'Car Club Area' is free but only with a 'Car Club' pass, all 'Car Club' cars will get exclusive access to the 'Car Club Area' through St Arvan's Gate from from 07:00 to 09:30, this will mean you won't have to queue with the public traffic and will ease any congestion.
'St Arvans Gate' must, and will be shut at 09:30 as instructed by the Traffic Police.

All 'Car Club' traffic will be GREEN TRAFFIC (see map below).

Have done a small map, the 'Car Club Area' is shaded in Green.

(Clicky)

Entry to the 'Car Club Area' is free to all 'Car Club' cars but must have a 'Car Club' pass which must be issued in advance, no cars will be allowed through St Arvan's Gate without a pass and 'Car Club' passes will NOT be issued on the day.

Entry to the rest of the show (through the turnstiles) is -
£6 for drivers of 'Car Club' cars.
£12 for passengers 16 and over
£8 for passengers 9yrs to 15yrs
Under 9's are FREE

All these are advance ticket sales only, the £6 'Car Club' drivers tickets will only be issued with a 'Car Club' pass.

Tickets can also be purchased on the day -
£14 for 16yrs and over.
£10 for 9yrs to 15yrs.
Under 9's FREE

If anyone is travelling some distance and think they may struggle to get to Chepstow by 09:30 then the venue has agreed to let those in on Fri evening and they can camp, the camping area is also through St Arvan's Gate but turn left once inside and head for the grassed area.
Anyone wishing to do this please say so on their entry forms.
There is NO charge for camping this year.

Any questions or anything I can help with please ask, either here or on the Car Club Enquiries Forum here.. http://www.lupisites.co.uk/walesmotorshow/ ... and apologies again for such a long post...

Cheers all,

Toby.
