Mark Collins Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 For those of you who know me and know how persistant I am, I thought I would just post a message just as a gentle reminder that for those of you who are interested in attending don't forget to get your forms in for the 27th March (The way the times flying at the moment it will soon be here). If you require a form the please fill free to go to this link and download one http//www.sussexmvt.co.uk/Martellsentryform.pdf or send me a PM with your address and I will put one in the post. Anyone on here who does not know anything about the event and wishes to attend here is some info about it This is the 2nd year of running this successful event it will be held at Martell's department Store, Queens Road, East Grinstead, West Sussex on the 24th April 2010 we have at present The Royal British Legion and H4H charity stall coming (both confirmed) and hopefully some veterens also trying to get the Mayor to open the show their will also be FREE tea & coffee for ALL exhibitors and passengers through out the day. As this is all on hard standing anyone wishing to stay over night will have to have a vehicle to stay in all vehicles tracked and otherwise welcome so is uniforms. As there is not much space it is advisable to send in the form so we can work out where everything is going. Late entries will be welcome BUT please contact me first so check space etc. One extra note that if anyone wishes to attend with a tracked or other vehicle on a low loader this is ok as Martell's have a secure compound which will be locked. (about a mile from the shop) that the vehicles can be unloaded and then driven to the shop for more info let me know. Sorry to keep harping on about this but i would like to make this show better that last year if poss and as the event is in April it will be a nice start to the show season. Thanks:thanx: Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
