  • EVENTS LATEST...EVENTS LATEST...EVENTS LATEST...BRISTOL - IT'S BACK... It was cancelled Friday because of horrendous weather (see below), but today (Monday, Feb. 9) it's back on - the 30th Bristol Classic Car Show will now run on three days, early May Bank Holiday, May 2/3/4, which will likely now be the new traditional date for the show. All tickets sold will, of course, be honoured. Said Nationwide's Nigel Stevens: "Our very first show was held 30 years ago at the end of April, this really will be going back to our roots. For more details go the show's website here...
  • EVENTS LATEST...EVENTS LATEST...EVENTS LATEST...STILL ON!!! (AS OF FRIDAY NOON - FEB. 6)... It's going to be cold, but the snow and ice in Lancashire has mostly cleared and the Garstang Autojumble goes ahead on Sunday (Feb 8); the Chelmsford Bike 'Jumble is okay at the Marconi Sports Centre in Essex for Sunday (Feb 8) as is the Jaguar Spares Day & Autojumble at Farnham Maltings, Surrey, the same day; Rufforth Autojumble - they pride themselves on never having been called off - is also on in West Yorkshire on Saturday, Feb. 7...
  • EVENTS LATEST...EVENTS LATEST...EVENTS LATEST...ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE WINTER SNOW... Tony Porter has been forced to scrap the Winter Charity Autojumble and Collections Fair at Navestock Village Hall, in deepest Essex on Sunday (Feb 8). "With all the snow, sludge and ice around, we considered it simply too dangerous; we are very sorry and hope to see everyone at our next event on August 9..."
  • EVENTS LATEST...EVENTS LATEST...EVENTS LATEST...***FLASH; BRISTOL HAS NOW BEEN CANCELLED... Heavy overnight snow in the South-West has put paid to the 30th Bristol Classic Car Show at Shepton Mallet this weekend (Feb 7/8 2009); even with no more snow forecast, the showground considers the site will be 'unsafe'. The organisers say they will announcing a new date for the show 'very soon' - watch this space...
    Spare a thought for the Jensen Owners Club who battled their way through to the Bath & West Showground in intolerable conditions only to be told the bad news; "As they were the only club on site, they wanted to know if they could be next year's feature stand!" said Nationwide Exhibitions's Nigel Stevens.
    "We are bitterly disappointed," added Nigel, founder of the car show. "We were planning to go ahead up until this morning (Friday, Feb. 6), despite the conditions, and had tremendous support to do so from the classic car owners, clubs and other exhibitors.
    "However, the primary concern of any event remains the health and safety of visitors, and this atrocious weather throws up too many variables, including the process of getting to and from the venue.
    "We will put all the relevant information on our event website (www.bccsl.co.uk), and refer all ticket-holders there for updates and details for the re-arranged show.
    "And, of course, all prepaid tickets will still be valid for the re-arranged show. We are already looking at available dates when the weather improves, and will ensure our 30th Anniversary Show will still be the biggest and best ever."
    The proposed auction of classic vehicles, which formed part of the overall show, has already been rescheduled for Monday (February 9). The doors are open from 9am, with the auction of automobilia starting at 11am, followed by the vehicles at 12.30pm.

  • EVENTS LATEST...EVENTS LATEST...EVENTS LATEST...THERE'S SNOW BUSINESS... - Heavy snowfalls in the East Midlands (up to five feet of drifts on parts) have put paid to this weekend's Classic Japanese Motorcycle Show at Donington. Said organiser Andrew Greenwood: "We've been forced to postpone due to the ground conditions at the venue.  The heavy snow at the venue last night closed the adjacent East Midlands Airport, with more snow expected tonight (Thursday Feb. 5), the car parks are under a metre of snow and the Sunday market already cancelled. It was decided that it would be unsafe for us to go ahead.
    "We have rescheduled the event for Saturday and Sunday 2nd & 3rd May and hope to see everybody Donington on this new date..."
