Event Instructions

Could you please read the following regarding Bangers 'n' Flash, and pass this along to your members?

Hello,

Firstly, a huge thank you for booking into Bangers 'n' Flash presented by Sideline on the 9th of June. We can't wait to welcome you along. Please note the following details for your arrival:

Your entry slot is at 9:15am. The venue is Craigtoun Country Park, St Andrews, KY16 8NX. The exhibitor entrance is on the left shortly after Duke's Golf Course.

Trophies and prizes will be given at 2:30pm in front of the Sideline stall.

As this is a family and pet friendly event, please note that engines MUST be turned off for the duration of the show. There is to be strictly no revving of engines. Our guests include young children, dogs, and those with special needs or sensory disorders; please be considerate.

Please drive carefully both on the site and in the surrounding area.

We do allow barbecues, just please be sure to keep them elevated off of the grass.

There are to be no vehicle movements from 10am until 3pm when the show ends.

With the formalities out of the way, I hope you all have a fantastic time!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Kind regards,

Lindsey,

Flat Out Scotland

I know I paid for Japfest (and received some lovely swag in return), but the organisers of this 'show' are charging you to make the show happen for them. If you don't turn up then there is no show . . . and from what I can see no mention of a charity benefiting.

They are part of the โ€˜Trees for Changeโ€™ programme, so for every ticket sold a tree is planted. Club/trade stands I think get 3 trees planted? Pretty sure TicketBo has some info on it.
That said, every car show is the same; they charge to exhibit and also charge for public entry. As this is being held in a public space they canโ€™t charge the public for entry, so itโ€™s only the exhibits and stall holders picking up the tab. In places like Edinburgh and Boโ€™ness itโ€™s on a โ€˜closedโ€™ estate, so much easier to have pay-on-entry gatesโ€ฆ
Plus of course, someoneโ€™s gotta pay for the trophies coming my way eh?! (In my dreams) ๐Ÿ˜‚

Edit: After today's 'prang' I may have to enter it into the Bangers section :cry:

Hmm - 6 hrs 35 mins / 372 miles drive - shame I've got something on, this would have made it a worthwhile trip!
 
7 spaces left - note GR Yaris, Yaris GRMN & GR Supras can also attend. ;)
 
Oh Crikey, my costs are starting to go up! Still safe with the six juice pack so far though. If we make 10 I'll have to double up on the messages*!

Sorry though Sonic, I only drink Irn Bru Xtra - as too embarrassing to drink any diet drink when you're as lardy as myself. Also, allows the ability for a second biscuit - the world is now in perfect balance ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜
 
To all those with names down and those wanting to attend - Don't forget to purchase your discounted Club Ticket from @GR-Admin and not via the website.

Thanks to @911sse because I didn't even know there was such a thing as IRN BRU Extra. I mean what exactly is the extra bit? Can you substitute 'extra' in place of the normal (full-fat) Bru without any noticeable side effects? Does it have to be served in a brown paper bag? Will it strip paint if spilled? Do Jakeys get punchy after a Voddy & Extra? All legitimate questions I think! ๐Ÿ˜†

All I can say for certainty, is that Xtra doesn't require an 'e' to be added to it. That should say enough in itself and yes, a poor 90s drugs parody but it has the same uplifting community spirit - especially when consumed with a roll and square sausage (Lorne).
