1. BIKERS SET TO DESCEND ON NETLEY FOR 20th EUROJUMBLE

   Posted on 11:08am Sunday 18th Aug 2013

   IT IS NOW less than a month away, and Classic Bike Shows’ 20th Carole Nash Eurojumble is set to be one of the busiest and best ever.

   The event, taking place in Netley Marsh, Southampton, on September 6-7, has seen nearly 290 plots taken up by traders, as well as bookings for six club stands; the highest number of clubs ever to attend the show.

   Show manager Nick Mowbray said: “The event is filling up fast and is certainly on target to cater to the near 10,000 visitors we expect to welcome over the course of the two days.”

   Still proving to be a hit with motorcycle enthusiasts as it embarks on its third decade, the Eurojumble is well known for its extensive array of quality bikes, parts and accessories.

   And, as the event has grown, its popularity has only increased with visitors flocking from across mainland Europe to take advantage of the great bargains on offer.

   “There is no better place to find that elusive piece for your restoration project, or even to take the chance to clear out your shed or garage of all those interesting old parts and turn them into bundles of cash!” added Nick.

   “There are no frills with the Eurojumble; this is a dedicated event for dedicated bikers and restorers.”

   Back by popular demand, 2013 will also see the return of the ‘garage clear out’. Taking place on the Saturday of the show, keen autojumblers can empty their garage into their chosen vehicle and head to Netley Marsh for a one-day only plot. 

   Gates are open on both days from 9am to 5am, with an advance two-day ticket priced at just £13. Camping facilities are available for the weekend at a cost of £20.

3. We've had a great summer of MAG events here in Yorkshire with the Farmyard Party and Yorkshire Pudding

   Posted on 10:19am Saturday 10th Aug 2013

   The Farmyard Party in Helmsley was, as usual, rocking! We've had some great feedback about the BIG Top and the outstanding performances from Hats Off to Led Zep, the Ska Toons, and Broken Angel to name but a few. A special BIG thank you to those who travelled from abroad to get there!

   The new Pudding site at Escrick Estate along with some amazing weather meant the event was sold out days before the event. Sorry to all of you that couldn't get in but we have plans for next year to accommodate more people. It seems that Smacked Arse Comedy Show pulled a blinder with a great performances all round - I've not seen so many people cry with laughter for a long time.

5. STAFFORD MECHANICS SHOW SET TO CELEBRATE 20TH YEAR

   Posted on 10:13am Thursday 8th Aug 2013

   IT is THE place to be for a weekend of motorcycle sights, engine sounds and petrol smells, and once again one of the UK’s largest and most popular bike shows is gearing up for action as it prepares to celebrate a significant landmark.

   The Carole Nash Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show will take place this coming October 19-20, and tens of thousands of visitors are set to descend on Stafford County Showground for the 20th running of this massive event.

   Show manager Nick Mowbray commented: “Now moving into its third decade, the Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show grows in popularity every year and with a jam-packed weekend in prospect, we are sure that 2013 is going to prove to be as big a hit as always.”

   As the culmination of the Classic Bike Shows’ calendar, the event will see the seven Best in Show winners from throughout the year come together to determine which can be called the best of the best.

   And, with more than 70 club stands and dozens of private entries, thousands of bikes will be showcased with focus on the machines of the 1960s, 70s and 80s.

   To further celebrate this era, the Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show will welcome French racing legend, and 1984 250cc world champion, Christian Sarron as its special guest of honour.

   2013 will also mark a first for the event, with gravity-defying stuntman Steve Colley wowing the crowds in the main ring.

   “This is the first time we have utilised the main ring at the showground for an attraction such as this,” added Nick.

   “The seating there has recently undergone extensive refurbishment, and it will provide a fantastic location for a simply stunning display.”

   As well as this superb entertainment, the show will feature its renowned array of autojumble and trade stands, the Classic Racer Grand Prix Paddock and the ever-popular Bonhams auction.

   Nick, explaining that 2013 will see Yamaha mark the anniversary of the FS1E, continued: “You literally will not be able to move without coming across a memorable machine from days gone by.

   “In a special year for this era of motorcycling, the Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show is going to be a weekend of celebration for the biker who began on a ‘fizzy’”.

   The show takes place on Saturday, October 19 (9am – 6pm) and Sunday, October 20 (9am – 5pm), with advance one-day tickets costing £10 for adults, £3 for children and £9 for senior citizens.
