Lancia Beta Forum

Hi all
I'm really pleased to say we've been offered a stand at this year's NEC Classic Motor Show. Bigger stand than last year, so we will definitely need 4 cars.

We are next to the LMC stand, the Gamma Consortium stand and the Fiat Motor Club.

Please contact me if you have a car you'd like to show. Cars need to arrive at the NEC on Thursday 10th November.

Cheers
John

Nice work John :), Hotel sites already getting booked, Ive just book at the same place as last year, only a couple of rooms left @ £44 per night

Calling all volunteers! Do you have a car that you can show? Can you volunteer to help man the stand? If so please get in touch with Tony or me.

Please come and visit the Beta Forum stand in Hall 5 (stand number 5-240) on the 11-13 November 2016 at the NEC, Birmingham

For tickets, please call 0871 230 1088 or book online www.necclassicmotorshow.com (http://www.necclassicmotorshow.com)

John, To confirm as we discussed that I can make it. Let me know more when you have it. H

Hi John

As mentioned I will be there for setup on Thursday and manning the stand on Friday.

Peter

Hi John

I will be dropping by on Friday as the Monte Consortium were refused a stand I will now be a Friday only paying visitor. Is there a club related ticket discount code I could use??

Thanks

Eric 

I thought you behaved yourselves the last couple of years?

There is a code in Viva Lancia. Not sure how much it saves (£19.50 quoted?). Or do John/Tony need help on the Betaboyz stand?

Just over a week to go, John B has 4 superb Beta's lined up for the stand  ;D
We are in hall 5, with the Lancia Motor Club, the Gamma Consortium and the Fiat Motor Club so will in great company.

The discount ticket info can be found in the Forum announcements & news section, as this is a members only section (you need to be signed in to view)

We have decided to take the photo boards along again, so if anyone would like a pic of their car to add to ones we have collected over the last couple of years, please email me a copy and I'll do the rest, just need your name and rough location. email:t_harrison3@sky.com

Here is the floor plan of hall 5:

If your going to the show, please stop by and say hi
Thanks
Tony




 

I currently plan to be there on Friday so happy to come and help.

I don't think the discount tickets work on a Friday from previous attempts.

Mark

I will be there Friday so I will drop in for a chat

Cheers

Eric

I'll be there Saturday. God spot next to the sporting bears rides area  - should get a lot of footfall

Hi all
Only a few days till the Show!

On the stand this year we will have the following 4 wonderful cars:
Howard Papworth's Volumex Coupe
Ed O'Brien's Series 2 Sedan
Terry Wood's modified Spider
Gary and Nicole Hopkins' Series 2 Coupe

Sadly no HPE this year, but we've got no room left on the stand now anyway  ;)

Please pop by to say hello and lend us a hand with the stand if you can.

Best regards
John

Well done John.

Will be battling workload issues in an effort to get there on Friday, but still on target as present.

Mark

I will be there tomorrow as planned.

Superb show for lifting the profile of the Beta  :)
Much better location than last year, with the 3 Lancia clubs together, to the public we looked like one large club.

We received lots of good comments, met lots of nice people, including Tore and a couple of members from the Norwegian Beta Club  ;D

Thanks to Howard, Terry, Ed and Garry for displaying their cars. thanks to everyone who helped man the stand over the weekend, and John B for sorting out the stand.
 
Here's a couple of pic's from the weekend, of our stands plus a couple of Lancia spotted around the show, including a Silver Coupe almost identical to mine.

I'm glad you found the silver Coupe. It's rear end featured in Motoring Research's picture review of the show. Their closing slide was the blue Spider on our stand.
