1. 30th Lancs Classic Car & M/C Show

   Posted on 9:43am Monday 2nd Sep 2013

   Sunday 8th September, 10am – 4pm @ Hoghton Tower, Nr Preston, Lancs, PR5 0SH.

   Admission Prices: £7.00 per adult £3.00 per child (7-14yrs) Under 7's Ffee

   A big thank you to the forty or so brave souls who turned up in their classic cars on 23rd of June when the Hoghton Tower event was washed out for the second year running. We organised an impromptu classic car park on the formal lawns in front of the house and it was quite clear from the visitors and enthusiasts who did arrive, in quite appalling conditions, that there is a great deal of affection for the Hoghton Tower classic events. Last year when a similar thing happened in June we had our best ever turn out in the September at Hoghton Tower and that is almost a quarter of a century of organising events at this popular venue. Needless to say if you had a pass for the June event it will be valid for the event on Sunday 8th September. Autojumble space at Hoghton Tower is free as long as you are selling spare parts for old cars and motorcycles (this does not apply to trade stands selling other items). So don’t moan that there is no autojumble, simply bring your own and clear your unwanted items out of your garage to make room for your winter project!

   Some of the clubs that are booked in to the event are as follows: The Cheshire Classic Car Club, The Stag OC, Toyota Enthusiasts & the Nutcrackers with the many other clubs that were booked in for the June event also joining us there are likely to be many great club stands.

   As well as the show you can have a walk around the beautiful house and grounds by a separate small admission price. There will be an all day concours competition with live commentary and awards and there catering options, including a cafe, are available. Parking is free and dogs are welcome at the show as long as they remain on a lead. Hopefully providing an enjoyable day out for everyone!

2. 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.

4. 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.

   Posted on 10:18am Friday 9th Aug 2013

   BMF Show organisers The Mulberry Group have announced that this year’s Tailend show will have some extra features and some very special guests over the weekend.

   “We have supported an epic 4,000 mile coastline ride for Autism throughout the year” said Mulberry’s MD Martin Chick, “and the culmination of this fantastic feat undertaken by Paul Newman, will be a ride into the show on Sunday morning and Paul will be accompanied by our very special guest and NAS supporter, 70’s pop legend -  Alvin Stardust. Alvin will be our headline act on Saturday evening on the main stage and will then ride in with Paul on Sunday morning and spend some time on the NAS stand”

   Also at this year’s Tailend show, a World Stunt competition will run throughout the weekend with over 30 of the World’s top riders competing and organisers are installing temporary grandstand seating to give visitors an even greater view of the unbelievable action.   The show weekend will also be the last chance for people to get their raffle tickets to win the trip of a lifetime with Riders for Health on one of their Experience Africa rides in 2014 – the winning ticket will be drawn at the show on Sunday 15th September.

   The BMF Tailend Show offers a fully packed weekend of entertainment, awesome stunt riding and what promises to be a great end of season party!  – If you have a free weekend over the 13-15 September ride over to Peterborough…..it may well be worth it!
