April Stafford Show

[timbo]

Anyone thinking of going? Is the April show mostly old Brit stuff? Is there camping at the showgrounds? Never been to Stafford, April or Oct, but fancy a look round 

[Propellor]

Ill be probably going down with a couple o mates. I usually go to the October one so I'm not sure on the layout.

Unfortunately I won't be going in April with big bro this year, got somewhere else to go that weekend. Jerez for the moto gp, I'll be thinking of you all when I'm sat in the sunshine listening to/ watching them fly around. Hopefully be going in October. Hopefully I'll have the XBR street tracker finished so possibly have it on the "thumper club" stand, we,ll see.....cheers, Michael

I'm hoping to go, but not sure which day yet. TBH, I usually go both April and October, and I couldn't really tell you what the difference is.....

It used to be basically "Old Brit" orientated but of late a lot more Jap/Continental seem to be involved. Im sure if you are looking for something for any thumper you probably wont be disappointed. My problem is that it is a "mortonextravaganza" again.....I will never forget the "Toystore" fiasco a few years ago.....

Sounds interesting, please explain Ian.

[Moto63]

Wow Ian three grumpy faces as a sign off......it must have really affected you .

[timbo]

Anybody camped at it? Is there camping?

[Moto63]

There is at the moto gp in jerez, bloody hot in them tents in that Spanish sunshine with only the noise of the gp bikes in the background as company.....oh it's gonna be tough

[Moto63]

  hee hee.....was only rubbing it in a touch, yes Tim there is camping at the stafford show ground. Never camped there but Gareth and Graham (our great leaders) both camp there for the October show

[timbo]

Thanks peeps, looking very likely that myself and a mate, Shane will head over by bike, or car if weather crap.

[Ian]

Timbo, I'm  sure someone will explain about the Toystore fiasco at some point, but suffice to say that "We wuz robbed ....big time!!"

[Moto63]

Morning Ian, am I correct in thinking that the "toy store" display was the one where you chaps had a life size version of the wind up evel kinevel toy???.....if so then you were bloody robbed, as anyone with a life size version of EVEL KINEVEL deserve a medal in my book ...

[Ian]

The less said about life-size dolls the better ....but you are indeed correct. I think both Graham and Gareth don't really wanted to be reminded about the whole sad and sordid affair. I hope all at mortnobs can sleep at night!!!!

According to the blurb there is camping, you can get details/book on  01507 529529.  I was camping there for one of the October shows some years ago when we had a club stand ...bloody cold it was too!

Up to now I hadn't been taking much notice of this thread as, because I'm a full time carer my weekends are usually busy. HOWEVER, I've just checked the calender and I'm free that weekend and as Stafford is only a couple of hours away so as SWMBO have given me a pass all being well I'll be down for at least one day possibly two as I haven't been camping for ages. It'll be nice to put a few faces to names.
