Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club | Vauxhall Cavalier Dot Com

Announcement from the Vauxhall Bedford Opel Association:

"We are please to announce that we have secured a new venue for the 2017 VBOA National Rally at Market Harborough Showground, which is approximately 18 miles from the original venue. Full details on date, booking etc will follow on the 1st December once all details are finalised."

Lets hope that the new showground proves better than Billing venue with all it's scare stories of thefts etc.

Interesting choice.

After a quick google search the only venue I can find is the Blaston Showground in Market Harborough, is that the one?
Anyway, it's a 30 mile car journey north of the Billing Aquadrome, not 18 miles.

It does appear that this is a new venue for many events.
It is described as an 85 acre site at Airfield Farm.
Close to the Innovation Business Park.

In a selfish way - 27 miles further north, is 27 miles less for me to travel each way - ha ha.
And about 38 minutes less each way in good traffic.

Googlemaps show what seem to be just fields. Given the weather that greet VBOA sometimes, it could be interesting...let's see what the details are closer to the time.
I mere 123 miles for me.

Any chance of a club stand for this ? or is that still on going.

Who else is going to this?

I plan to be there early on Satuday and may even stay for both days this year if the weather is good.

Yes I'm going,will be on Cavalier and Chevette stand as they are affiliated.White SRi with CAV number plate,come and say hello.

I'll be on the Cavalier and Chevette stand as well so I'll see you there.

Are you guys all members of the Cavalier and Chevette club? I will be there on Sunday in my MK2 look forward to meeting you guys.

I am,joined at the NEC.

No idea yet.
I would like to attend as I threaten every year.

I have friends on several different forums who are attending. It would be nice to meet and greet them and talk car rubbish all day.

Wife's health and finances permitting.
Fingers crossed.

I'm going to be there the whole weekend; traveling up on the Friday and staying 2 nights in a local hotel.
Market Harborough is a lovely place so I thought it was worth it this year.

This is still ongoing.
When Billing closed it's gates to car club meets last year, all club stand / membership plans were put on hold.

Combined with the fact that the club does not currently have an active clearly-defined figure head, as Humbucker is currently busy with his magazine work.

I am sure James and Dave will concur or correct my comments.

I have consulted with the missus (she who must be obeyed) as Saturday is normally her shopping day.

It is believed that we will indeed be attending on Saturday afternoon for 4 or 5 hours.

So - see you there.

See you there Rob.
Send me a text or something if you want to meet up.

Sadly - yet again, something cropped up and stopped me from being able to attend
