Thats just wrong in my opinion.

Charging people who are showing/displaying their vintage/classic vehicle MORE than Joe Soap who parks his car in the carpark and does nothing more than walk around looking at all the cars,enjoying the entertainment.

Without the exhibitors,there is no show,wouldnt you agree?

Why not charge them €12 like the Adults arriving on the day?

You get driver plus a passenger in for €20, so collect a Joe Soap, charge him €12, and you'll get in for less than the rest of us:D.

also one gets the plate, and i think a sambo ! and its all for charity lets not for get that, its not as if they are making money !! it goes to charity..

Joe soap maybe 12 euro but 2 people is 24 euro,

prebooking and its cheap, i forgot what it was now as prebooked most of the shows at one time but I think its 10 euro for two plus car.

Its a show thats well worth it, and also always for a good cause.

Pre registering costs a tenner.
In fairness, the smaller shows are glad to see anyone turn up. However, once a show becomes successful and gets really big, every dog and devil wants to turn up on the day.
How can the organisers be expected to let just anyone and everyone in?
So they incentivise you to book early, and penalise you for turning up at the last minute. Helps them organise the day.

I'd have herself with me,a black eye is not the best way to start off the day.

And 2 cars is 40 euros,which is 2 cars Joe Soap gets to look at for alot less.

I know its for charity lads,never disputed that fact,but you need support from people to help charities,pissing people off wont help the chosen charity at all.

Isnt the pre registering date long gone?

Letting everyone and anyone in?
Eh,isnt that the whole point of a Vintage Show,let everyone and anyone show what they have?
Penailising people for deciding to enjoy a sunny day while showing there old car?

Im sorry but theres no defense in my eyes for charging more to people who turn up on the day to show their car as opposed to people who turn up on the day to see the cars.
Its just greed in my opinion,simple as that.

Pre register date was 4 days ago, the 20th.
There is only a finite amount of room at the grounds. I'm guessing they cant let everybody in. I'm just imagining what its like if you are an organiser for these events. Big shows have to be controlled and organised I guess.:)

Kevin_Herron

I was speaking to one of the Jaguar club committee this afternoon and said that it is the highest amount of pre registered entires into Terenure on record!

And priced accordingly,which this show is not doing unfortunately.

Anyway,I could be here all day arguing the facts,gave my opinion,hope the show goes well for the chosen charities and lots of people turn up BUT maybe the organisers might review their pricing plan for next year,before they turn more people off shows like this.:)

Rust or Weld

I agree with Milan

corktina

so do I on principle...still a great show though even if it will cost me well over €100 including petrol.....

entry for classic car owners should be free and forget the plate and the sandwich...

Hi all,

I dont normally go to shows but am making an effort to attend this one. It will cost me well over e200 to travel from Galway with a car transporter so the pre-book fee is small change!

I drive 1915, 1920, 1925 and 1930's, vintage cars all the time, racking up lots of miles over the year so standing looking at my car all day is not normally fun but, I have promised myself to do this show.

A number of questions some of you seem to be in the know here;

1. Where can I park my transporter, its around 40feet long?
2. Are the exibits roped off?
3. If not, can we do this ourselves (I carry insurance PLI insurance)?
4. What is the 'Center Circle'?
5. Where do I park the car, are they grouped or random?

While I do want to show my car, I will NOT allow it to be used as a playground for bored children or mis-informed adults, I need my car for business and something as simple as a broken door spring would keep it off the road for a considerable time.

I am bringing my 1930 Packard Presidential, first owned by Buster Keaton, it was also in 'Empire of The Sun', the epic Stephen Spielberg film.
(it was also in the recent 'Denny' ad, maybe not as glam, but there you go!)

See you all on the day, I will be the one with the Stun Gun!

Regards,

Pat.

You should be able to park the transporter on fortfield road beside the green opposite st pius's church look on google maps.

I have always attended terenure but will not be there this year....

I find the requirement for clubs to prepay this year is a pain in the arse ..... you need to prepay a minumum of five slots and IMHO is passing needless paperwork over to the clubs who wish to attend....

I don't really understand the reason prepayment -- prebooking yes-- but there is always loads of space for everyone

As for the "Austin Martin" plate last year :eek:

that was the year before I think Aidan....:D otherwisw I agree..We got so much grief over booking a club stand at a show "in the north" that I wouldnt bother even thinking of going there in the future...

Terenure I'm looking forward to ..and Trim...because its a CAR show not a tractor or stationery engine show with a few dubious stalls selling trash.

I booked a club stand and it was no problems at all? Fill out a simple form. 5 cars prebooked is no problem, sure everyone wants to save money and it gets things sped up at the gate.

fair play to you....I was not prepared to fork out €50 in advance and then have to go around an collect it from other members....

I didn't have to. I paid my tenner and sent it off with the club stand form. Then everyone else sent it off in their own time

kyote00

Ah I see....you should be fine so long as five other members preregistered....

The letter I got says club stands will only be allocated to those with a minumum of "five preregisted entries" .... on dry sunny days, we can get 15-20 cars to attend ... if the weather is bad then only a handfull attend....

Yup I found them very helpful this year & last year when I've dealt with them. Speedy replies! Only problem was directing us to the wrong place when we were there
