Castlewellan Car Show - Saturday 30th June 2018

[natogreen16v]

was thinking of dropping in with the e-type but is it really VAG only?

Sorry Andrew but as above its non vag by invite only. It would need to be on a pre-booked club stand. It is a VW show from it started 15 years ago hence that rule.

 

[Terry]

Ah balls, I didn't think the rule was overly enforced either

I'll be happy enough to park up elsewhere and take a dander round instead

Always a great show, hard to believe it's 15 years from I was first at it parked on the grass with BBQ's on the go.

I was at the last one on the grass, think it was 13 years ago. Definitely better in the car park though. Does Porsche count as VAG?

 

[natogreen16v]

Yip @trev 1515 unfortunately you're free to attend

 

[Jonny_W]

@natogreen16v can you just drop up in?

 

[natogreen16v]

@natogreen16v can you just drop up in?

If you are in a VAG group car just land up. Non VAG needs to be on a trade stand

Yep I will be indeed.

@natogreen16v if I come up will I have to stay the whole day or can I leave early etc? With that weather I doubt I'll be rushing away like but just making sure

As it’s a public park you are normally ok, I’ve done it in the past. I will need to do the same tomorrow.

 

[trev 1515]

I’ll be leaving before the end too

@jonny_w @trev 1515

Previously this has been the case. This year the forestry want the carpark closed until the show is over. No one in or out. They've forced a lot of changes this year tbh

 

[WSM]

Hmm so if I come in at 11 I'm stuck there until 4 at the earliest?

 

[trev 1515]

Ballix

 

[cormac81]

Im glad yous asked that as I cant stay all afternoon.

 

[Jonny_W]

I’ll just park in the normal car park. Can’t stay all day.

 

[Ben]

What time can cars come and park up at?

Is there anywhere else on site visitors can park up?

 

[WSM]

I'll probably give it a miss then if that's the case. I'll see how I feel on Saturday but I have little intention of staying all day.

Come and park beside me lol

 

[trev 1515]

Yeah the car park could be better than the show lol.
Strange thing to do, one of the best things about it was that it was a more laid back show and more like just a meet up. Was handy to leave when you wanted. How will joe public be able to get out? Is there still only one way out?

 

[Simon998]

How fars the dander from the nearest car park to the show? I can see this being a bollocks.

about 2 seconds

 

[trev 1515]

Worst case park in the town, get an ice cream and dander in

 

[Simon998]

about 2 seconds

Aye but they're talking about closing it to the public or have I got my wires crossed?
