[Noo]

Hi all, there is a show named cars in the park at Newby Hall in Lichfield on the Sunday 8/5/2016. It's a decent day out, lots of club stands and it's only a fiver to get in. We went last year in our pug, I noticed that ds3 were not there, maybe we could get a gathering there, any thoughts 💭, cheers.

It's not a bad show, take a look on there website, it would be cool just to show up and laugh at the ford and Vauxhall crowd and ask why lol.

[WTF]

Hi there,are you both still up for this one as it would be great to come up and within reasonable reach,time and mileage-wise for me! Also, are you turning up or booking tickets in advance to show vehicles in the park?

[Noo]

Hi mate, we just turn up, but will gladly meet you there, as for showing the car I would if enough of us did it then yes. We paid at entrance last year, £5 a go

[JEZDS3]

Thanks,I was thinking just turn up 11am ish because I would drive up that morning and just park up,get a £5 ticket and have a wander around. Maybe grab a coffee/breakfast etc too.

[Noo]

Does this mean you don't need me to book in a club stand?

More of a casual pop along to the show/day out kind of thing?

[Noo]

It is a casual kinda show Yeh, but ford oc and Peugeot sports oc and mini Cooper oc were all there last year in decent little number's. So we could book if you wanted to, or just arrange something here and meet up, it's up to you guys

[JEZDS3]

Popping up to the show on a casual basis suits me as it`s £5 to get in! It looks as if it will be £20+ for a car show position! Factoring in travel,breakfast/lunch etc things could get out of control financially!

[JEZDS3]

Still up for this one on 8th May,I`m on leave that week so will be great to meet some fellow DS3 owners and check out the show!
