    Sadly can't make it this year but it is a nice show for anyone who hasn't been :)
     
  3. Already have plans for that weekend but it was good last year. For those looking to camp there's a little caravan and camping club site about a mile away, its not the greatest site but is very convenient, you can even see the trams running from your pitch :)

  4. We might be up for this one again... Took the Scoobyblue last year it was a good day a few of us met up at McDonalds in Chesterfield! Might be taking Scooby and our new addition... Jasper the 71 Beetle!!!
     
  5. Missed this again (closing date was 21st August) Doh!!!
     
  6. We went last year and didn't book - you can just turn up, and if you're in a 'historic vehicle' the driver gets in for free, and you get to put your van in the display and drive round in the parade, rather than just park in the car park. We were taken aback by this though, as our van certainly isn't show quality, but that didn't seem to matter! Not sure if you have to arrive by a certain time for that, though.

    Not sure if we're going to it this year - I think we've got other plans that weekend.

    Went last year without van for a look and "cruise " down street looked good. Hoping to go this year with van...it's weekend after we return from touring Scotland...so fingers crossed.

  13. As it was such a glorious day we pottered up the A6 to Crich and had a good time with a great turnout. I have stuck some pictures on the blog.
