RAF Waddington Air Show 2010 3+4 July

[mistertwokw]

Hi folks, i started this post in the new events thread but feel that i shouold post it here in order to get an idea of numbers,

The RAF Waddington airshow attracts around 100000 people over the 2 days and is undoubtedly one of the best airshows on the UK calender, This year it takes place on 3+4 Jul 10.
There are limited spaces for car clubs as long as an application is got in early!! I have approached the organiser of the show and things look good for the club getting a spot.....as long as i can get an idea of confirmed numbers in the near future.
I am away in Afghanistan as of tomorrow until the end of Feb, ideally by this time i will need a list of names.
Please only put your name down if you are 90% certain of making the event, there is a high possibility that if the club attends in numbers this could become a regular event :+: , it will not look good if the usual happens and people cancel the week before :-:
You would get free entry and be able to enjoy all the other attractions that the airshow has to offer. Accomodation is readily available in Lincoln. I would be able to put up some people on a first come first serve basis. Ther is also room for a tent or two in the garden. There is no camping on the airfield though! Just add your name to the list below if you are definately interested.

Hope that this is of interest to you folks...see you all when i get back 8-)

Hi All. Let`s get on board with this one. Sounds like a really good venue, lots of visitors. Let`s push the boat out & have a really good attendance. We have time to plan our diaries with this amount of notice. :+: :+: :+: :D :D :D

Thanks to all who have put their names down so far. We need more than these fine fellows & fellowesses!!! to make a really good show.

Please look at your 2010 dates & commit to this please. I am sure it will be a great day out. :+:

[stumr2sc]

Count me in. I shall check on any reasonably local camp sites. I'm sure the show organisers will let us leave the show each evening and return before the show opens to the public the next morning,

A quick update on this now i am back:

Owing to only 7 people putting their names forward we have missed out on a car club pitch at the airshow :-:

However, we are still in with a chance of being able to display the cars at the airshow, it wont be a pitch as such but if we can park together then it would be as good as, i am still pushing for this so stay tuned ;)

Ki

[old petrolhead]

Thanks Ki. Keep up the good work. There may well be more to follow!!! :+:

[mk1 dal]

hi ki nice to hear you got back alright :+: , i know off two more people going who brought my old cars last year , + i can supply at least 3 cars which my mates can drive to the show ,this will get the numbers up . its a shame more members didn't put there names down sooner :-: has you went to a lot of trouble to plan this event which i think will be a brilliant weekend , may be next time we will get the pitch .

gary :+:

[tommundy]

How many did we need Ki?

[mistertwokw]

Minimum numbers were not told to me initially but it seems that they were looking for around 20 which is not impossible considering how many members we have. I will keep trying to get a intinerary for those who want to attend the show in a drive on basis.

Hi Doc,

you are more than welcome to come along but unfortunately you would have to come through the main entrance with the public as its only the mk1's that are authorised to exhibit.
As it stands though i have received no entry proformas!! :(

[mistertwokw]

If you can get the forms out to those without printers that would be great.

Just to reiterate, i am happy to put some people up in the house, i have one spare room and a comfy coach, i also have the garden to camp in. Just let me know.
At present camping at the airfield is a no go.

Ki

[old petrolhead]

My Application will be posted tomorrow. Cheers Richard :+:

[mistertwokw]

Well folks this is set to be another let down by most of the club members.
To date i have only received 3 applications for this show and because of this my chat with the organiser went as follows:

How many mk1's are attending?
4
Is that it!?
Yep

Well unforunately for you i have 8 cars from another club wanting to attend. You were there first but you are not filling the spaces, i see it is only sensible to give the spaces to them.
Oh?
Sorry but it gives 8 cars a chance rather than 4.
Ok, thanks for the time.


So, basically this is now a no go, thanks to those who did send me the forms. I am a little peeved as there were quite a few nam es on the list and now its a no go. Not encouraging at all.

A disgruntled Ki :x

[DOCTOR1987]

:evil:next time when you are organising an event give us more time and more warning
and when you say you have got places buck them in sted of telling everyone to get them yourself.thank :x
may be frow privet email as this is not hard to do
