Just looking at booking camping fro Stoneleigh and H.I.D. has informed me we have a family party on Saturday, that apparently, I must go to!

Might be able to make it down Sunday for the day, depends how many sherbets I have Sat night I surpose

It seems camping is one price, regardless of how many nights you stay!?

Looking to got to the Stoneleigh kit car show for the very first time but it seems from the exhibitors list there isn't any support for the Haynes Roadster from companies making parts. Why is this?

because Haynes Roadster builders are so tight with their money that the H/R vendors don't make enough to pay for a booth?

Well sounds like there's a fair few attending, I'm only there on the Sunday so maybe I can find a few of you then.

a very stand in the hall is best part of £500 and as said many Haynes part producers cant warrant that kind of outlay as they would struggle to make it back.

You've hit the nail on the head there Ash, with stand costs / fuel / transport / other fees / lost time its the best part of £1k. Did it last year and with all the advertising throughout the year and the Newark show It's a lot a outlay where the best advertising is through the community and word of mouth. Though it is nice for other builders to see the products and cars at the moment its too much expense for not a good return, there will be plenty of nice and well put together Haynes there to see and our doors are always open to visitors to see products, cars and have a trip out - probably not much help to yourself though Cornish i am afraid. The Haynes roadster market is different to other Kit Car brands where they are showing off full kits and cars to sell whereas the Haynes market is mainly for supply of one-off ancillary products to go with self build projects.

As the Haynes roadster develops and grows i'm sure there will be justification to have a greater presence at shows.....Andrew
