1. GARAGE CLEAR OUTS UNDERWAY AS THE EUROJUMBLE COMES TO NETLEY

   Posted on 7:39am Wednesday 4th Sep 2013

   SHEDS and garages are being emptied, cars and vans are being loaded and motorcycle enthusiasts across the UK are getting ready to sniff out the bargains with one of Europe’s largest autojumble events now just days away.

   The 20th Carole Nash Eurojumble will descend on Netley Marsh, Southampton, on September 6-7, with nearly 290 trade plots set to offer a raft of bikes, parts and accessories to the near 10,000 visitors expected to attend.

   Show manager Nick Mowbray said: “It really is a sight to behold with the hustle and bustle of autojumblers uncovering that perfect piece for their restoration project and traders turning their old bits and bobs into bundles of cash.”

   As well as regular and well-known traders, the ‘garage clear out’ will return by popular demand for 2013, with visitors invited to move the contents of their garage into their chosen vehicle and head down to the event for a one day only trading plot.

   With the Eurojumble now entering its third decade, the popularity of the event has grown and grown and organisers are looking forward to once again welcoming guests from both the UK, and across mainland Europe.

   “With our location down on the south coast, you will see many motorcycles around the place with European number plates as people come from far and wide to search through the vast autojumble.”

   Gates are open on both days from 9am to 5am, with a two-day ticket priced at just £15. Camping facilities are available for on both Thursday and Friday night at a cost of £20.

   Motorcycle Live, which takes places at The NEC from 23 November to 1 December, has become an annual pilgrimage for thousands of bikers and their families and friends. Every major manufacturer will be present, showcasing the 2014 model launches in the UK for the first time, while 16 FREE live features – including eight opportunities to ride a bike – will keep motorcycle fans of all ages entertained.

3. 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!

4. 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.
