To all...
I'm helping organise the first ever Welsh National Motor Show, to be held at Chepstow Racecourse on 26th August this year...
We have secured approx 15,500sq m within the racecourse grounds with the intention of not having to restrict the number of cars per club...
Car Club Cars will be given car passes for entry to the Car Club Area within the racecourse but not admission tickets to the show (see below) also the cars will obviously be in a secure area within the racecourse...
We're hoping to attract a very broad spectrum of cars from the many various clubs and the more the merrier...
The show is still partly being put together but so far we have...
Opening the Show WBO & IBF Super Middleweight Champion Joe Calzaghe.
Live Action Arena - Demo's from 'Steer From The Rear & 'Opposite Lock'.
D1 Cars.
DJ & MC live stage all day with entertainment etc..
Hankook Rally & Drift Car Experience. (with passenger rides)
4x4 Experience. (with passenger rides)
Helicopter rides.
Super Car Lawn.
Audio Village.
Family Fun Arena.
Meguiars Show & Shine.
All the usual Trade Stands etc...

All 'Car Club Cars' will get free entry into the Car Club Area within Racecourse but not admittance to the show itself.
'Car Club' drivers only can now have admittance to the show for just £6.
The Meguiars Show and Shine is £10 to enter on the day, but if purchased with an admission ticket the total cost will only be £15.
This only applies if bought in advance.
The Meguiars Show and Shine will be split into 4 Classes...
Best European Car at Show.
Best Japanese Car at Show.
Best American Car at Show.
Best Modified Car at Show
Each class will win a trophy and prize.
One of the three class winners will win Best at Show (hoping to get Joe Calzaghe to judge the final 4) and will win another trophy and £250.
The trophy for the 'Best at Show' will be a 5ft Nascar style trophy (more info/pics as soon as I can) this will be presented on the day to the winner and will become an annual event.
Joe Clifford, the Editor of Banzai Magazine is going to judge best Japanese Car at Show, and is also offering a years subscription to Banzai Magazine as an added prize...
Classic American Magazine have agreed to do the same as have Max Power..
Also have got conformation from Hankook they will sponsor the 'Best Wheels at Show' and will give the winner a new set of Hankook Tyres...
More to follow...
All the 'Car Club' cars will be GREEN TRAFFIC and will have exclusive use of 'St Arvans Gate' from 07:00 to 09:30, this will mean you won't have to queue with the public traffic and will ease any congestion.
'St Arvans Gate' will be shut at 09:30 as instructed by the Traffic Police.
All the relevant forms for 'Car Clubs' will be available from the website...
The prices below will apply to all passengers -
Admission is £14 on the day or £12 in advance (16yrs and over)
Junior concession is £10 on the day or £8 in advance (10yrs -15yrs)
2+2 Family Ticket concession is £40 on the day or £32 in advance

Unfortunately the 'Fire Force' top fuel car has had to go due to insurance liability issues, also 'Opposite Lock' to be replaced with 'Steer From The Rear', but various other things being added so please keep an eye on www.walesmotorshow.com (http://www.walesmotorshow.com) to see any changes...

I've been asked a quite few times now about the availability of camping this year, as some of you may know, we are planning camping next year with all night entertainment and bars etc as the show will be over two days, but we weren't planning on offering any camping this year.
As it would appear this show is going to be very popular and i've had a number of enquiries regarding camping this year (as all the Car Club Cars must be in place by 09.30) I have spoken with the venue and they have said that we can make use of the area within the Racecourse grounds on the left as you enter through St Arvan's Gate for camping for those who really need to camp over if they are travelling some distance, then you are very close to your cars.
This year only, as we weren't planning this, the venue has agreed to let those who want to camp over on the Friday night stay over free of charge (usually £5) i'm told there is a standpipe for water, but I don't know if power will be made available this year...
As this is a bit of a 'last minute' idea, those wishing to camp over on Friday night please write very clearly on the bottom of their entry forms and I will send them a Fri night pass for their cars along with their Saturday Car Club pass and the required tickets, cars without a Fri night pass will not be admitted into the grounds until 07.00 Saturday morning, so please let me know if you would like to do this, I don't want anyone stuck outside on Friday night...
Obviously I will be as flexible as possible with regards the camping, but camping space will be limited so will have to be on a 'first come' basis.
Any questions or anything I can help with please ask...

Cheers,

Toby.

To all...
Just a quick reminder that I must have all entries to me by 10th Aug at the very latest, although obviously would be easier for me if it's not all 'last minute' so you have about 5 weeks before you must have sent off your entries for your 'Car Club' passes and any advance tickets you want...
I have noticed a degree of confusion regarding 'Car Clubs' and the related ticket prices, so let me take this opportunity clear this up quickly...
Entry to the 'Car Club Area' is free but only with a 'Car Club' pass, all 'Car Club' cars will get exclusive access to the 'Car Club Area' through St Arvan's Gate from from 07:00 to 09:30, this will mean you won't have to queue with the public traffic and will ease any congestion.
'St Arvans Gate' must, and will be shut at 09:30 as instructed by the Traffic Police.
All 'Car Club' traffic will be GREEN TRAFFIC (see map below).
Have done a small map, the 'Car Club Area' is shaded in Green.
http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/864/wmstrafficmanagementrevised7vo.th.jpg (http://img228.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wmstrafficmanagementrevised7vo.jpg) (Clicky)
Entry to the 'Car Club Area' is free to all 'Car Club' cars but must have a 'Car Club' pass which must be issued in advance, no cars will be allowed through St Arvan's Gate without a pass and 'Car Club' passes will NOT be issued on the day.
Entry to the rest of the show (through the turnstiles) is -
£6 for drivers of 'Car Club' cars.
£12 for passengers 16 and over
£8 for passengers 9yrs to 15yrs
Under 9's are FREE
All these are advance ticket sales only, the £6 'Car Club' drivers tickets will only be issued with a 'Car Club' pass.
Tickets can also be purchased on the day -
£14 for 16yrs and over.
£10 for 9yrs to 15yrs.
Under 9's FREE
It's also worth noting entry to The Meguiars Show & Shine is £10 on the day, but £9 in advance, so for drivers of 'Car Club' cars can have entry to The Meguiars Show & Shine and an admission ticket for £15 (obviously in advance)
If anyone is travelling some distance and think they may struggle to get to Chepstow by 09:30 then the venue has agreed to let those in on Fri evening and they can camp, the camping area is also through St Arvan's Gate but turn left once inside and head for the grassed area.
Anyone wishing to do this please say so on their entry forms.
There is NO charge for camping this year.
Car Club Entry forms...
Group Booking Form - http://www.walesmotorshow.com/pdf/carclubentry.pdf
Single Booking Form - http://www.walesmotorshow.com/pdf/indventry.pdf
Should anyone decide to come after the group booking form is sent off please use the single booking form and i'll add you to your club.
Any questions or anything I can help with please ask...
Cheers all,
Toby.
