Enjoyed the owners club meet at the National Space Centre today it would however have been nice to see more traders turn up ? Glad i live local as without the Space Centre not enough going on to occupy more than an hour :yes:

I think the whole point of holding the event at a location such as the space centre, or beaulieu last year, is so there is more to occupy your day than just looking at the member's cars. Traders of course want a large(r) footfall to make it worth their while to attend, especially retail or food traders, even if the site was to allow them in first place.

I have to say I really enjoyed it and the turn out was good as it was central so most people could make it.

I enjoyed it, for me it's the whole thing. Stay at Hilton, good night & meal, then up to a nice breakfast & on to the show. Makes for a good weekend.
I agree about traders. I saw TT Shop there but no gear with them. I was going to buy some stuff, but never mind.
As for judging, some gorgeous cars there, I tried to pick but couldn't separate so many.
Waiting for Vagtuner & another Hilton weekend now. Then it's off on Holiday three days later.

Traders
quattro-tech were there
TT Shop were there
Cookbot was there
Croftgate Not Sure
Carbon Engine Clean were there
Alloy Gators Not Sure
Advance Detail was there
Most were there , we've always had problems attracting traders as there obviously want to make a profit and sometimes it's hard to justify attending.

I never saw Cookbot , Crofgate or Alloy Gators Advance detail van turned up but had nothing to show likewise the TT shop large gazebo but nothing to show , you won't make a profit if you have nothing to sell ?

Its up to the the traders, how they run their stalls, and if they turn up, the club can only invite them. Hopefully you had a good chance to look at the other member's cars, have a chat to people, and explore the space station.

The larger shows which the TTOC attend have many more traders, with more professional set ups.

Never mind, its good feedback you give, and for eventt17 we can try get the traders to up their game :)

Unfortunately Alloy gators were unable to attend due to the guy coming having his mother rushed into hospital the day before, I sadly didnt hear anything from croftgate but they wouldnt not have turned up without good reason.

I spent the last year speaking to I dont know how many companies about trade stands and its a difficult one because they have to check dates with us to see if they are busy or not and if they have staff available......but I'll take your comments on board for next year
