Might do. I went on the train last year and it was a much better experience than dealing with the M6 and NEC car parks.

The Historic Club will be there with a display of seven vintage Volkswagens. Hall 6. Plot 6C42. Stop by and say "Hello".

Only four weeks away now! Preparations for the Historic VW Club display are well advanced. Yes, Wayne and Barclay are displaying their vintage VWs, along with: John Maxwell - 1953 Deluxe - RTC 296 Keith Vipond - 1952 Standard - 23 NMP Robin Allen - 1952 Standard - XSV 432 Andy Axnix - 1955 Deluxe - 394 CTW Phil Murgatroyd - 1958 Deluxe - ONJ 854 The display plot adjoins the Split Screen Van Club and VWOC(GB) - so plenty of Volkswagens to enjoy - and is opposite/close to DKW Club of Ireland, Club Audi, Association of British VW Clubs, Wartburg Trabant Club, Scirocco Register, Corrado Club of Great Britain, MK1 Golf Owners Club and Skoda Owners Club. The show is open on Friday/Saturday/Sunday 11th/12th/13th November. Friday is usually the quieter day, although the admission charge is the highest on that day. The show is probably the largest it's ever been, covering Halls 4,5,6,7,8 and 9. Should be a good one.

Rob M,which would you consider the best for a day visit?

[quote=chthemonkey]If i were to come would i still be able to get the car in the historic vw club stand but as i wont be able to get there till friday evening or saturday morning:?: [/quote] No, I'm sorry but you won't be able to display your car on the club stand as it isn't the type of show where you can just turn up and join in the display. The display cars have to be in place within the halls at the NEC by the Thursday morning and then can't be moved again until 6.00pm on Sunday evening. I suppose it's a bit like displaying inside at the Volksworld Show. If you'd like your car to be considered for next year's show then just let me know. Sorry I can't offer you a place this year. :(

Looks good, will go friday

[quote=GKL 7]Rob M,which would you consider the best for a day visit?[/quote] George, I would try to go on the Friday if you can. It's a little more expensive but definitely quieter. The majority of the visitors on the Friday seem to be car enthusiasts whilst on Saturday and Sunday there are more families with children and it can be slow moving around as the halls fill up. It's also best to arrive early and be there for when the doors open (I think 10.00am on Friday and 9.30am the other days). In previous years there have been massive queues on the M42 with people trying to access the NEC car parks, but this is usually later in the morning - especially Sunday. The ideal way to get to the NEC is by train as it has its own station and then its only a short walk into the halls. If you do go then be sure to come to the stand to say "Hello". Cheers, Rob

excellent day out Well done to all those on the HVWC who put in loads of effort to make the stand look really good. Can't wait for next year - will be bringing the barndoor though next time :omg:

Posted by: Ivan - 14 November 2011 12:24:11
Historic Display was great! Nice to meet some 'new' people; Andy Axnix and Phil Murgatroyd - I promise not to tell anyone about the Vintage VW kitchen cabinet trick... Shame a didn't get to see Keith Vipond - he wasn't there on the same day as I was. But it was nice to have a chat with Robin Allen and Historic VW Club Display Manager, Robert Meekings. Really enjoyed the NEC show.

Posted by: Sunroof53 - 14 November 2011 13:30:06
Looks like it was a better choice than the Slough swapmeet.Any more pictures?

Posted by: pre67vw - 14 November 2011 14:06:46
I was trying to decide on Slough or the NEC, but decided that I wasn't really up to either. :( I put some of my videos on DVD for the Historic display, would have been great to see those showing. Ah well, there's always next year.

Posted by: WayneMcCarthy - 14 November 2011 14:36:18
Great Great Weekend & Thanks To Everyone For Making Me Feel So Welcome & Had a Super Spin Home To Ireland in The Razor & Managed To Put More Miles on The Car ! Than The Previous Owner Had in Twenty One Years Now Stands @ 8972 Miles, Also Got To Meet The Previous Owner VJ Which Was One of My Highlights of The Weekend. Did Get To See Your DVD Rob (Super)

Posted by: RoRoVw - 14 November 2011 17:21:22
Thanks for the kind comments about the Historic VW Club display and good to meet all the pre67 forum members who dropped in to say hello. Many thanks for the DVD, Rob, it was very well received - sorry you couldn't make it to the show yourself. Wayne's Razor Edge is awesome and really drew in the crowds to our stand. Hundreds of people must now have photos of it. The club's application for a display plot at next year's show has already been submitted. November 16th/17th 18th 2012. It was a tiring weekend but well worth the effort. Glad we've now got the winter to recover. :smile: Cheers, Rob.
