NEC Reflections and Thanks

Post by GTXTRA »

So - another season officially ends in Birmingham at my personal favourite show of them all.

Others will add some photos I'm sure but as mentioned over on FB I'd like to thank Ed (Edmundator), Marshall, Kevin (SYNCRO) and Huw/Hywel (MR MENDER AND Son) for the huge effort to get four brilliant cars to the stand this weekend.

The stand manners - cheers for spending so much time on the stand. You know who you are.

The Social - Carol, a great choice for food, Pure Kitchen? And truckloads of quality beer too - couldn't fault a great night out.


2016 Stand already applied for, fingers crossed.

Knackered.

It was a pleasure to be there and provide the "car of the show" for at least two visitors.

A great night out - a big thumbs-up to Carol.

Would just like to add my thanks to those who took the time out to supply the cars and man the stand. I have a great day on Friday catching up and talking all things Rocco with loads of people who wandered on to the stand :)

It was a fantastic event, and I was glad to finally become a paid up member of the club.
