Our Application for this years show has been successful  ;D
We have been displaying Betas at the NEC since 2005, and over the years managed to show some fantastic cars.

We are always looking out for cars to use for the show, if you would like to considered please drop John B a email

Also if your interested in helping to man the stand for any of the days please let me know.

There is a discount available for club members see:

We will be in hall 8, and as you can see we will be in good company next to the Lancia Motor Club and the Fiat 131 club opposite. Sadly our good friends the Lancia Monte Carlo Consortium, will not be attending :'( I think their reputation has finally caught up with them ?

Hi everyone
We're looking for some more cars for the show. Let me know if you would be free to bring your car to the NEC Birmingham and make your car a star.

We've been very fortunate over the years to be able to show off some lovely Betas. I try and get new cars every year. After some initial encouragement the owners really enjoy the experience of showing off their cars to an appreciative audience.

Please contact me on 07712 787703. I will also be at the Beta Meeta next weekend.

Best wishes
John

John

I have been nudged by the Montecarlo Mafia that you are looking for a Montecarlo or 2 for the stand? As I have just had some paint applied my some what unusual Volumetrico Montecarlo is unusually shiny and I can get the time off work if you are interested in having my car at the show?

Let me know if that helps you?

Thanks

Eric

Tony and team

Where are you staying whilst at the NEC? I currently have a booking in the Jacobean Hotel with various members of the Monte Consortium in the nearby Quality Hotel for a Friday night social as we could not find anything available close to the NEC. I am going to have a logistical problem with the car on the stand getting to and from the hotel each day so I am keen to know if anyone is staying nearby and could give me a lift?

PS when will I get the tickets to the show/parking and do you need my address?

Thanks

Eric

Hi chaps
I'm also booked in at the Quality Hotel, managed to get a room on hotels.com last week
I'm there for the Thursday,Friday and Saturday night.

There was me thinking I was going to have a nice quiet weekend Eric  :)

I'll have a spare seat or or 3 if you can call the rears seats in the Corrado seats.
Might be worth emailing John regarding the tickets, I know John will be working on Thursday so I'll be there sorting out our set-up.

I am still coming to help on the Friday.

Will need to away pretty sharpish though which is a shame- a jar or two sounds good.

Can I endorse Peters comments. A lot of work and effort by John and Tony. Well done- no idea how you last three days, my feet were aching after one!

Tony & John

An out standing effort and extraordinary bravery for Tony to go out with the Monte crowd after the last time. Maybe that was why you could not find your car all weekend??

Cheers

Eric
PS perhaps Tony and I should skip the romantic dinner next time!
