spanter Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Hello on the 28th of July we are hosting a joint flying display/ pre 1960's car show at the Shuttleworth Collection near Biggleswade in Bedfordshire, the driver and vehicle of any pre-registered pre 1960's cars can get in free and pre-registered passengers can get in half price (£12) for more information click this link http://www.shuttleworth.org/tickets/event-details.asp?ID=201 I have been told we are trying to set aside areas for vehicle classes so I will bring along the family's Dodge WC54, Ford GPW and M3 Halftrack and try to put some of the collection's vehicles with us for a military section and it'd be great to see some of you guys and girls and your toys. Closing date for registration is 19th July and if we have weather like we had last night it'll be a great show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snort Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I would love to come but £36.00 for the rest of the family to come will put me off I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanter Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Sorry to hear that snort, it took some fighting to get them to agree half price for passengers, and with the children up to 16 free I hoped I'd got it cracked this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will organisors understand that vehicle owners dont want to pay that amount of money to help create a show :embarrassed: :embarrassed::embarrassed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I tend to agree with Gas 44. No vehicles/reenactors, no show. As it is, it costs us £ just to get to the shows, let alone being charged to help out. As times are hard all round this year, it'll be interesting to see how well the "Pay For The Privilege" shows do with their turnouts. I can only hope that you get a good display at Shuttleworth this year. All the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will tempt me to pop up for a visit. Sadly can only manage a 2000 Astra 1972 Land Rover Always enjoy my visits to Old Warden Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanter Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 I would hope that they will fly together as we seem to be concentrating on unusual formations this year but I can't be certain. I understand how people feel about paying to go into a show with your own vehicle but there are worse prices to be paid at other similar events and all the money raised from the shows does go the registered charity to ensure that the collection continues, I can assure you no one gets rich on the back of the shows at old warden. :shocked: I hope to see some of you there.

Pete Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Spanter, don't get me wrong. I really do hope that things work out for you at Shuttleworth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
