It is confirmed that our stand is in a similar place as last year but looks to be a bit bigger. Shame if only those on the list turn up.

Only a week to go now and the weather is looking good until fairly late on Sunday. So a dry one at last. You can buy day or overnight tickets on the gate. BUT please tell us in advance in the join up thread and make sure your membership is up to date. UPDATE Tuesday Weather still looking good but with a chance of some light showers early Saturday evening.

Just had a VBOA meeting. It looks like we will have the same stand as last year. Our long range forecast has decent weather leading up to our weekend. Don't forget, some others have, that if you are buying an overnight ticket you need the day tickets both side. VBOA will have the data to eject offenders from 9.00 in the morning.

Agreed especially as we will only qualify for a 20 square meter stand.

Only 29 days of discounted pre-booking left. There must be more than just me and Frisco going.

Welcome to the site. Good move buying that one when you have the skills to sort it. What else are you planing to do?

Yes, new CAA regulations.

If you already bought tickets please input the details in the other thread. If you are coming but haven't yet it would be a huge help if you did soon. We need to justify the size of stand that we need and VBOA uses tickets sold when it decides stand sizes.

Welcome to our website. Any car on a stand, as opposed to the any car public car parks, has to be owned by a member of a VBOA registered club. As there is no other VBOA club specialising in Cavaliers and the Mk3 is so closely related to our Mk2s it makes sense to have them in the same place at the show. This will be the third VBOA show where both generations of FWD Cavalier have been on their own on the same stand. This thread gives you details on the procedure you need to follow to show your Mk3 Cavalier (and camp if needed) on our Mk2 Cavalier stand at this years show. In summary - Check on this thread that space is still available (it is) - Buy a 6 month Mk2 Club membership via https://www.mk2cav.com/store/category/2-club-membership/ - IT IS NOW TOO LATE TO DO THIS> JUST PAY ON THE GATE. (You need to decide when and how long you want to be at the show and pay VBOA as a Member for entry to the show via https://vboa.org.uk/index.php/product-category/vboa-national-rally-2024/ at the Club drop down we are MK2 Cavalier Owners Network) - Add your name and details (including MK3 type) to the 'Join up' thread https://www.mk2cav.com/topic/23525-vboa-2024-sywell-262728-july-mk2-cavalier-join-up-thread/ - when you get to the show say Mk2Cav and you will be directed to our stand - feel free to comment on the show 'Chat Thread' to tell us about your Cavalier.

There are now 45 days remaining until advanced, lower cost, booking ends. Then 2 weeks to the show. I don't think this affects us but NO DOGS ALLOWED on the site. This is a Civil Aviation Authority rule.

There are two things that have to happen to get on our stand. To show a car on any stand at the VBOA Show you have to be a member of the Club who's stand you are on. If you are not currently a Member you can rejoin/join up via https://www.mk2cav.com/store/category/2-club-membership/ - IT IS NOW TOO LATE TO DO THIS> JUST PAY ON THE GATE.

As you all know, we treat this annual show as a social get together of the Club's Members. This is our standard thread gathering information on who is coming . As in previous years please do not amend the master summary post. Please add your own post with the information requested and a Mod will add it to the master list before deleting it. Again, do not put chat here as it will be deleted. Put it in the chat thread. VBOA want to know 1. How many vehicles on the stand per day. We want to know how many are Mk2 Cavaliers and how many are others, Vauxhall or not. 2. How many tents and their approx size e.g. 2, 3 , 4 person etc The tents etc are at the back of the stand. 3. Any caravans/motor homes/trailers if any, as space may be limited. So, when you say you are coming please state - name (handle and real), what car, reg, which day(s) - if overnight your tent size (people capacity), motorhome, caravan etc Thanks Greydj2 AKA John

So no wet boys this year Bet they didn't let you forget that part of Dad bonding, 😂

Early Bird tickets end this month,

Welcome to the site. I would have thought that if its a 1.8 then its got injection otherwise it's a 1.6.

Sorry, no joy. They are really buried or they have already gone.

I'll go find them in the morning.

I think I've got the bumper brackets. Shall I check them out?

You might find this of use, it gives you an idea of what is what and where it goes. Its a shame but it no longer has the full part number. https://opel.7zap.com/en/car/j82/ Also the Club's Facebook group hits a bigger audience than this forum nowadays. https://www.facebook.com/groups/MK2CAV

Fantastic

At least its not his 18th

Great stuff Ivan.

VBOA is pleased to announce the dates for the VBOA 2024 National Rally to be held at Sywell Aerodrome for the fifth year. The show will open on Friday 26th July running until Sunday 28th. Tickets will go live on the evening 11th December, a follow up email along with social will follow. Hopefully drier like most years since we left Billing.

I forget, the visitor club next to us, East Side Vauxhall from Lincolnshire were voted in as a new member. Also there was the normal discussion on stand size and location.
