British Motor Show in Farnborough in August

Postby Bob perry » Sun Jan 31, 2021 5:22 pm

Thought I heard it before, but confirmed in the latest Practical Classics Mag, the British Motor Show is, right on my doorstep, at the new Farnborough Exhibition Centre, on Farnborough Airfield, in August 20th-23rd. around 10 minutes walk from my house, FANTASTIC!!! So close the aircraft fly almost over our roof when landing/taking off

Superb new facility over there and well worth a visit.

If any Members are considering coming to the show, I can offer a couple of parking places on the drive, three at a squash, to help save the parking fees at the show, not given yet but could be expensive!!

Air show ones are normally a tenner, although they also use a large local school field, but it's horrendous to get out of sometimes, especially if it rains, and the bottom of my road is the A331 and a direct link to the M3,A3,A31!!

I shall hopefully be going one, or maybe all three days, if the ticket/treasurer allows, and the offer is there for parking if Members would like it.
I'm sure the necessary refreshment facilities would be catered for, along with the Viva chat of course.

p.m. me if I can help. First come first serve, and it would be great if you brought the Viva down too and we could have a line up for the neighbours to see.

Just had this flyer through the door ( flyer? get it?? Farnborough Airfield!!, never mind!!), so my offer still stands. Anyone coming to the show is more than welcome to park on the drive, and save a few bob. One space, or two, as long as I have a bit of notice. It's five minute walk to the show.
Toilet and tea facilities, of course, before you go in, or on return if you wish.

Look forward to meeting with you, and a bit of viva chat.
