Trev-the-Rev Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I've been for the last 4 years and it's a first-class event. Usually a few of the members come along and we share the Z Club stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Yup, tis a good show, expect we will do a joint stand with the Zclub who always get favourable stand locations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff-r Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I have been on and off for the last 5 years. It's good to be fair. One of the more consistent events of the year. I personally prefer JAE but didn't go last year and they never seem to be able to keep it at one location which is a damn shame, Billing was good, Peterborough was okay, I think Mersea Island (spelling?) was one of the best locations. Weather plays a huge factor as well as to whether an event is good or not. I'll be going to Japfest this year, want to get the Zed there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works well for me its only 20 mins down the road at a leisurely pace. Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choptop Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Good event although it can get very crowded. Usually attend with the Z Club as previously mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Ian is now from coming so it will be Yeah and especially if he's not got the Zed any longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 It is usually a good event and some good track action. Will be with our Z Club buddies to expand the size of the stand and get a prime location. Details of prices will be in the meets section soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you'd decided on a Skyline. On another note entirely, what's the snow like with you and is it worth me attempting to get to work in Ponty?

Ian Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I had but I have been having doubts, especially when I nearly sold my Z a few nights ago Not sure what the main roads are like, I cant get out onto them at the moment. Earlier this morning the M4 was running with restrictions but not sure what the A470 is like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
