Silverstone 2023

I'm not sure if the Lancia Moter Club are going this year? It might be worth asking if they minded if we shared a space with them? Or another friendly club?

I've never actually been to the Silverstone Classic and have had nothing at all to do with the club pitch, but does anyone know if the club has to front up any dosh? If not, someone can book a place for, say, 5 or 6 cars and then all you have to do is keep this thread updated with news/costs/attendees. Oh, and then turn up for the gig, natch :)

I’ve organised this event since 1999. In the early days we had up to 25 cars on the stand. We also had financial support from the club. On issuing a club display, Silverstone want to see 10 plus cars each day. More latterly I’ve struggled to get even 5.
Unfortunately, for health reasons I may not be able to be at the event, but am happy to organise the stand if enough members will commit to attending.
Currently only one club member has shown an interest, if you would like to attend please let me know asap in order that I can make contact with Silverstone.

Hi Ken, yeah, it's hard these days to get peeps fired up enough to actually take their cars out to a do! Suppose it's the change in demographic - back in the Old Days when people hadn't spent as much on the cars and they were almost considered disposable (the cars, not the people!), and the owners were old-school enthusiasts, they'd jump at these events. But now, with rising values and replicas worth a hell of a lot more, owners don't seem to be as bothered about socialising. In fact when a car gets sold on these days, the new owner doesn't bother with the club at all. Oh well, such is life in the New Stratos Apathy Club. :)

Appreciate your offer to organise the stand once more but I know you've been ill, so let someone else take the strain this time and just be available to give advice if needed. If anyone DOES give this a go (assuming the requisite 10 cars are on the cards) and a club donation is needed, I can't see that being a problem....just let me know and I'll authorise our esteemed Treasurer to make large with the shekels ;)

'Just attaching these for Ken T. :

If any needs to split a 2-4-1 ticket for the Silverstone Classic, I would buy the spare ticket for 3 days.
Thanks.

Ignore the above, I'm sorted now.
