Bromley Pageant of Motoring 2011
Bloody nonsense Chris! I mentioned that and the general unhelpfulness. They also insisted that I gave them a ticket, despite the window hanger admitting car & driver. Also the fact that they would not let you see a map of the site, just saying 'over there, go and find' Out of order, they depend on exhibitors, bet if you was driving an Aston the welcome would have been a little warmer. Perhaps we should meet up and convoy in next year and gang up on the spotty yoofs

To be fair the lad on the gate was nice to me. It was what I assume to be gaffers or similar that were giving us the info.schuwolf wrote:Bloody nonsense Chris!

Copy of a reply to my email to the organisors:
"Hi Brian,
Thanks for your email, you are right it was a shame about the weather, but I am glad you still enjoyed yourselves. It was great to see how many people actually did turn out.
Please accept my apologies that I did not get round to see you with the plaques. I had good intentions but you know what a show can be like!! I did request that the plaques which weren't collected were brought back to the office so as soon as they materialise I will happily send you them out.
I do apologise that you had problems with the gate stewards, thank you for bringing it to my attention. There are a few things that need to be addressed for next year and this is clearly one of them. If you can think of any other constructive criticism please feel free to pass it on to me, from an organisers point of view it can be very helpful to improve the show in coming years.
Kind regards
Louise"
Hopefully, we will get our plaques, but guess we've out on the free souvenir programme
Any 'constructive criticisms' we want to pass back to Louise? I'll collate any comments and feed them back, not to be nasty, but I feel that they rely on us exhibitors so why not let them understand our needs

Was a very good turnout.
With the weather so bad I was worried about empty lots on Sunday.
Really nice to meet new faces.
One thing I would say Brian: When I emailed Louise about getting my friend into the show about an hour after you gave me her contact details, all I got was a voicemail and unreplied emails.
I didnt say who it was in the email, as i wanted her to grant permission on principle, not because the person is famous.
Wasnt happy about that.
