I've booked a room at the Meriden Best Western Hotel (same as last year) and can help for the whole event. 

Alex

I can do the Friday as usual and probabaly Thursday set-up too.

Mark

Hi

Best Western all booked up, so booked elsewhere for the Sat night, assuming help required on the Sat & Sun. I need to be around Sunday to collect the stand items for the Restoration Show in March.

Peter

Hi chaps, that's great any help on the stand much appreciated, our ticket allocation will be lower this year, so entry tickets can't be guaranteed this year, but we will do our best.
Peter I have emailed you regarding taking the stand material on the Sunday night, which won't be a problem.

Cheers
Tony

Hi Tony,

Peter

Hi

Just a quick thanks to John and Tony and everyone who helped on the stand. For me probably the best one I have been to. The stand location was excellent and being combined with the LMC and Stratos EC, made for a nice rounded representation of Lancia.

Also to Caroline for the cakes, they were excellent!

Peter

Indeed. A great effort and result all round- and it didn't put me off eating sausages for few months like last year!

Bet there some tired folk this morning.

Well done all.

Mark

Hi
What a cracking show, thank you to Peter, Tim, Carl and Mark for showing their amazing cars, thanks to everyone who helped man the stand over the weekend.
And thank you to Caroline for making the cakes they kept us going for the three days  ;D, and John for doing the NEC admin.

Just had the stats from the NEC, 71,520 enthusiasts attended over the three show days, which is a small rise on 2023 (71,290)
I've uploaded a selection of photos to Flickr here: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjBRA1n (https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjBRA1n)

All the best

It was a great stand with some lovely cars. Thank you to all who put so much effort into making that happen I know it's a pretty exhausting job. Makes me proud to be a Beta owner. 🙂
