Hello all,
For anyone not familiar the setting is lovely and well worth a visit for the Hall, grounds, and museums. There is easy parking and a nice walk around the lake.
We go most years and last took an MGB to show about 5 years ago. It is run by the Austin Severn Club who take one side of the arena banked in front of the hall for their national rally. There are many classic cars, motorcycles, and commercials on the other side, along with an Auto jumble and the Nottingham Motor Show in adjoining fields where modern car dealers have exhibitions. There are general categories for classics by date and some club sections for Triumph, MG and Subaru that I remember. Certainly a wide cross section of cars which would suit an MX5 section well.

I've been in touch with Nigel Hancock http://www.pwa7c.co.uk/contact.htm?to=nh&name=Nigel%20Hancock&task=Minutes%20Secretary the organiser to see if any existing or owners club sections are available for MX5s. He says it's still early days and he'll be in touch in the New Year. I'm happy to pass on any info when received on the bb here or for Karen or Richard to do any organising if they prefer.
