Harrier 1 Posted January 6, 2013 I am contemplating which shows to attend this year & have just put my name down for CCGB National Day at Castle Coombe & have 1 or 2 in mind that are within 2-3 hr drive but i would like to venture to the North of England for 1 or 2 meets this year as it would be nice to meet some owners & see some cars we dont see down here very often & was wondering which you could recommend ? I would like to attend a lot more than i will be, but weekend passes are limited ! Elsecar looks good.Any thoughts ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted January 6, 2013 VW Festival at Harewood House if you can make just one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted January 6, 2013 Yep asGareth says, Harewood is a great show as is VW Northwest at Tatton park. I live Elsecar though too, not the biggest but with the big chunk of the clubstand folk staying at our place the night before it always is a great weekend & that's what these shows are really about People meeting up with a similar interest :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sexybourbon 0 Posted January 6, 2013 I usually attend elsecar was rubbish weather last year tho so the big field car park was shut unlike the year before wer it was full , we all did the show then had some grub sat round the cars in the boiling sun Harewood house i usually attend aswell but its more of a walk round on a sunday for me , see the cars and go again but it is a good event with all the stands and stuff Ill be doing elsecar again this year i always find its a good turn out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy 0 Posted January 7, 2013 There are quite a few of us who will not be attending Harewood House his year as costs rose significantly last year on previous yeras Sadly it appears to be growing bigger than its boots - as happens to so many shows. Not tried Elsecar - but always hear good feedback Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 9 Posted January 7, 2013 If cost is a consideration then may I suggest "The German car show" at Haigh Hall in Wigan. Free to attend for the past two years. As it's for charity they just ask for a small donation. It sits on the weekend between Tatton and Harewood, and really is an excellent mixed show. Eric (Tempest) is looking into the possibility of a stand for CCGB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
