This will be our 3rd year!
In 2014 we won Second best dressed stand
In 2015 we won Club of the year
It's always been about this awesome show, but with the effort put in, it was awesome to get the awards!
For this year - what are your thoughts re dressing the stand? As awesome as the tea party is, it's A LOT of kit for me to lug around and set up. Shall we go for something different this year? Something that attracts less wasps and means I don't have a car full of tea pots and china. Plus the two pasting tables, and bunting, leaves, fencing, windmills and so on......
Would love to hear your thoughts!
Some on the best stands look like best with the focus on the cars - maybe we could look at getting some of the ramps to park at angles and not just flat.
So I'm sure there will be a lot of people who would like to attend so please reply to the thread if you would like to go!
