Hey everyone. S2KUK hasnt had a stand at this show in a while because we haven't had enough members interested. I'm trying to see if we can change this for 2012


Here is a link to the website so you can have a look for yourself.

I rang santa pod and they said that we need at least 10 cars to have a club stand, i also spoke to Ian (AquilaEagle) and he is happy for us to have a stand there if we gain enough interested and also said we will supply the pop up marquee and flags.


I went last year and honestly didnt find it a chavy show such as the fast show and usc. i will try and find some pics i took and will post them up.



If you are interested in going please put your name on the list.

It would be good to get a presence here - years ago we did get enough people and have had a stand twice.

For those who don't click through to the website, I thought I'd copy and paste some info here!
