Classic Motor Show, NEC Birmingham, 13th- 15th Nov 2014
This is easily the biggest indoor Classic Car Show of the year and of interest to anyone who likes our age of car. There is also a large Autojumble and entry to the Classic Motorike Show is included. It is seriously difficult to get around the whole thing in a day, so be prepared to do a lot of walking.
The Club's stand, as usual, presents a varied selection of our models and is staffed by a number of Club volunteers.
Tickets are available in advance on-line and members qualify for a discount on Saturday and Sunday if you use the discount code published in the Standard Car Review.
Please, come and introduce yourself on the Club's stand in Hall 12 ( close to where it becomes Hall 11) If you hand over your ticket stub ( DO NOT LET THE DOOR STAFF TAKE IT OFF YOU) there will be complimentary coffee in exchange.
We will be there on all three days to meet you and to answer any queries that you might have about Standards. Regalia will be available for purchase on the stand. You can join the club or renew a lapsed membership. We particularly welcome owners of Vanguard I/II cars, but owners of all models, in any condition, are always welcomed. Bring your partners and families too!
We all look forward to meeting you there.
Lynda Secretary Standard Motor Club

Sorry, the Club has no influence on ticket prices.
The organiser's advert in the Club magazine gives a discount code and says "Offer applies to Saturday and Sunday tickets booked in advance only..... Hope you can make it

I'll be there on Friday. The other clubs I'm a member of have the same discount codes as well. Hopefully it will be less busy on Friday.

Just wondered why the Club collects ticket stubs at the NEC Show ?

Club gets a rebate for each ticket stub collected. I suppose it is a way of recording the clubs with the most members attending.

Does the SMC get the Stand for 'free' then?

Just got back from the NEC after a very long day helping to set up the club stand and it looks superb. If you are coming to the show make sure you visit our stand and see for yourself, I wanted to take some pictures but like an idiot forgot my camera, my brain does not work properly at 5:30 in the morning. Steve O'Hara has done a brilliant job planning the stand and doing all the organisation, and a big thank you everyone who helped get everything put together today. Time for bed 5:00am will arrive to soon. Richard

There's quite a lot of information about how to host photo's on a third party website (eg photobucket) and have them displayed on forum threads without restriction on size on a sticky thread in the general section of the forum.
