Motorsport at the Palace
Why are we not having a club stand this year, what is the reason for this as I have been asked by the organisers because I approached them for a ticket. This is a great event I have attended this event for the past 5yrs.

Re: Motorsport at the Palace
Steve Booker has taken the lead in booking a stand for Crystal Palace. I'm sure he will correct me if i'm wrong but the first couple of years getting cars on the stand was easy but enthusiasm has waned for last 2 years.
From my own experience it is frustrating to book a stand and then try and get say at least interest from five members. You end up persuading people to attend.
It's a great event that I've attended three times but I will now skip for a couple of years and do other shows.
Any paid up club member can arrange a stand at an event and then advertise here or in QB. Too late for this year but let's review for 2016.

Re: Motorsport at the Palace
Yep , that's why. The last two years I think we managed to get 2 LC's on the stand each day out of an allocation of 5 per day. I agree it is a great show ,but the support for it from members has faded.
Also , another reason is I am away for the week running up to and including the show , and the organizers only send out the tickets during the week before , so I would not be around to receive them and forward them on.
