Show: French Car Show 2015 - Castle Combe

[Niall]

Evening guys,
Im sure you have all seen in the latest issue of PFC, they have released the layout for the main show area. Ive had a few people question me as to why our club isn't on there amongst others so thought i would answer that.
The club stands have not been laid out yet except a select few (shown on the map). We had a choice this year to go in the same spot as last year or move into the main show area. We decided the latter would be good and a change and because of this, we probably won't get our location until a few weeks before the show when they have a better idea of numbers. As soon as i have our plot, ill post another update
On a slightly bitter topic, PEG.... For those at FCS last year, I'm sure i don't need to explain that there were fallings out between the two clubs for what is honestly, pretty petty reasons. Ive seen comments in the past few months from some members bad mouthing PEG or their members and id like to ask for this to stop. I know a lot of us have a pretty dry sense of humour and even if it was meant in jest, please remember some may not see it as a joke.
Id like to see us put the differences between the clubs behind us as we go into show season. Im not expecting at all we are all going to kiss and make up at the shows but what i really don't want to see is a repeat of last year and its up to you guys to stop that happening.
Ive spoken to the owner of PEG tonight and they are of pretty much the same opinion as me and will be keeping an eye out for any bad mouthing of our club or members. If you see any of it, don't rise to it, just send me a link to it and ill pass it to them to deal with as we will be if they see any of us bad mouthing them. We are all grown ups so lets just get on with this and as per usual, have a bloody good time at the shows with too much drink, a good BBQ and probably Dum-dum naked at some point.

Right, now thats dealt with, a reminder that time to buy tickets is running out rapidly. We are now 8 weeks away from the show with about 6 left to buy tickets to get on stand. When ordering your tickets, you must put "306oc.co.uk" in the club box to get your stand pass.

The front row thread has gone up although you may notice we have renamed it this year. Thats because with any luck, we will not have a front row as such but would like to do something that ties in with our theme. You putting your cars forwards in the thread gives us a perfect opportunity to see what cars are going and how we can make the most of the space we have. The thread can be found Here

Now, speaking of themes, for the first time for OC, we would like to have a theme on our stand. We have won second place club of the year before at FCS and this year, we are going for first! It seems as if a french theme is the most popular going by the poll in the thread. Im sure i don't need to say a few clubs will be doing that so we need to work hard and be very inventive to make our selves stand out! The thread can be found Here and if you have any ideas at all no matter how small, please do comment in the thread. We do have some money in the club fund for this but not a huge amount. If and when we decide on what to do, if people want to donate to make our stand epic, feel free!
