MattyB Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 You wont BELIEVE this.I've had a letter today off them, describing the "changes" - baisically there are to be NO MORE CLUB STANDS :0 Don't ask me why - but Autometrix are really fvcking GTI Inty up...they had enough complaints last year. To sum up their 2 page letter...--"A few select clubs" (which includes us) can buy a Trade Space, at the cost of £25 for a 5m x 10m area to display their cars. You also get 2 spaces in the "trade car park" which is out of the way, but nearby. These are reserved for the support staff when you buy a trade area.You can, if you wish, purchase TWO trade areas giving double space and 4 reserved car park spaces. But thats £50 for the day.If you chose this route, cars must be in before 9am (or they close the barrier) and cannot, under any circumstances, move until 5pm. --They want to know by 13th Feb if we want this space (or spaces). But to be honest, your only going for fit about 4 cars in there (they state there can be NO overhand from your area) and its not cheap to buy either.What do ya wanna do?

Fran Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 why dont we all just convoy in and park in the normal car park together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexfernihough Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 what a feck up. why are they doing this? surely the whole point of gti international is for you to get together and show off your clubs cars.so whats going to be in the main area now then, if there are no clubstands?

twisty b-road Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 Don't know what to say.......We be mighty fortunate to get ALL of us together before convoying in. I'd feel sorry for those who are late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twisty b-road Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 The meet point will have to quite close cos getting 10+ cars through traffic lights and junctions and roundabouts together isn't easy at the best of times ???

bossjohnc Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Unbeleivable! I'm up for that suggestion - by the sound of it most people will be in the car park looking at those cars anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisty b-road Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 It never fails to amuse me that some forums write Ben****ers as Bentw*ters because it's filtering out the word fool style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidDub Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 look i dont mind but i would really like to have the stand still ive spent near 4 grand on my car so i would like to show my car even if i paid for the space myself and split the cost with whoever wanted to join me style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexfernihough Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 kiddub i'll join you on the stand as i'll have the work mostly done on mine by then too, (smoothed lupo running on 17's!)thats two of us another two maybe? then it's only £10.25 each for both days.does the trade stand thing also include admitance tickets for myself and a passenger if so it aint that bad a price.also i'll make some banners and give a bit of an advert for the clublupo stand for anyone else not on the stand.

alexfernihough Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 are there any other big shows similar to GTI international that we could have a clubstand at and meet each other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 I would go on the trade stand but id rather park with everyone else in the car park. Im not even sure if i can be arsed to go now. Im gutted cos i was gonna put a new system in for the occassion, no rush now. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 We could try for another show but we could be too late. Doncaster was booked up when I tried to book it for us in November!I feel the same as you Max. But feck the barstuards, we'll sort something out im sure.

Fran Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 why dont we go to a RWYB day at santa pod?? i'm up for a meet more or less anywhere tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Fran,That's what we're doing for the Northy meet... Santa Pod RWYB day on the 22nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BReal Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Forgive my ignorance but what does RWYB stand for? Ive never been to Gti inty before or any serious show for that matter so not sure how bad the implications of not having a stand are but getting everyone together in a record convoy, albeit even if it is only for a mile or so and seeing everyone and the show for the first time is not gonna keep me away stand or no stand. Ive spent a fortune so far this year on the car cant wait to get there. . . . . style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Lets set up a committee meeting at the northampton meet lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
