Papav66 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) Following the success of last year's with 250 military vehicles and 200+ re-enactors, I would like to invite those who attended last year and any other vehicle owners to what will be the Midlands largest military vehicle event so please either register or visit if you can. If you've not been to the site it really is quite unique with all the Nissen huts and different types of air raid shelters etc. especially when its full of vehicles and people. Its a 40 acre site with a decent sized arena and fairly flat ground for camping. Vehicle Groups attending: Alvis Fighting Vehicle Society Austin Champ Owners Club - National Champ Camp E.M.L.R.A.

fv1609 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Paul, I've already filled out my entry ready to post! Looking in the Green Sheet I could not see any sign of a MVT National Show (nor W&P come to that) so that can only swell your numbers in June.

Papav66 Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Thank you Clive, as far as I am aware there isn't a National MVT Show at Kemble any more, so yes we are hopeful people will consider this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevpol Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 will sort out my entry form asap, would it be ok to bring my RAF Regiment display? With regards to the national rally, I read in the latest MMI, at the end of the write up for last years Kemble, Severnside are doing a annual rally mid june instead of august?????? any ideas? All the best Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papav66 Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Hello Mark, Yes your RAF display sounds interesting, though I've not seen it, does it need to go indoors? if so I might be able to find space in one of the Nissen huts where we had a US Air Force Display. Think the organiser of Kemble, is planning on doing a show but I don't the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbayonetww2 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I think there are two events: "The little Vintage show" in May ( pics are of the show) and the MVT event in June . So the entry form is for the may event. Just clicked on link & it said June went to look at another page & now it reads May! There is another good show at Kemble worth going to and thats the Steam Rally 6, 7 & 8 August and that has a large military section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The camp set-up is absolutely superb and the reception extended to ourselves was second to none. I look forward to visiting again along with my friends from the North Staffs Area.:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papav66 Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 Hello Ray, Good to see you on here and thanks for your words of support. We are already up to just over 120 military vehicles so its looking good so far. Bob is busy building more Nissen huts and depending on work schedules we might even do away with the beer tent and have a very large 'Beer Tin' instead, as he just found a larger span hut that is 60ft long. Look forward to meeting up with you and others from the North Staffs during the season. cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papav66 Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 Best of luck Paul - looks like you have a cracking weekend on your hands - stressed out yet????:computerrage: Yes, can't help but get a little stressed, as putting so much effort into it & wanting it to go well, so I do occaissionally wake up in the night and think of another task that needs to be done. Plus relying on others on the day to do their is un-nerving. So I wish you all the best with A+E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papav66 Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 Visited the camp this evening for our monthly meeting so here's a couple of pics of our new Pickett Hamilton Fort & Nissen No. 6, the Bedford makes an ideal platform for fitting the tin. And pleasingly we are now up to 225 military vehicles & more re-enactors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
