Hi,
My bike will be on display at Stafford this weekend and I have received my weekend pass.
On the leaflet that came with the pass it mentions vehicle passes.
I was originally going to ride to the show but now I’m bringing the bike up in a van.
Will I need a vehicle pass for the van or can I drive in close enough to unload the bike ?

You will need a vehicle pass, as the main hall is quite some way from the public parking. And it's likely to be pissing it down...
My pack contained a vehicle pass, which I don't need. So maybe we can work out a way for you to use mine?

Hi Ultim8PC.
I did PM Jerry but no reply yet so using your spare vehicle pass sounds like a plan.
I did call the organisers number on the leaflet and they suggested as the show is close to maybe get someone to leave a pass for me at the gate.
Would you be able to do this and if so what time Friday do you expect to arrive ?

I'm not likely to arrive until 1pm at the earliest I think.

JimBoUK,
I've been involved with setting up at Stafford for quite a few years now. A vehicle pass will let you bring a van/car/truck to the very rear of the exhibition halls, although finding somewhere to park/unload can be difficult.
Without a vehicle pass, you should be able to park (on Friday at least) in the exhibitors car park, which is the same side of the road, as the halls. Probably a 500 meter ride/push from there.
Feel free to call me 07710 158701 if you need to know more, but I don't always hear my phone during set up.
Looking forward to meeting you..... GB

I've arranged for Jimbo to use the pass I have.

Just been rummaging in the loft for biking memorabilia in advance of Stafford.
Found some cool stuff including bike rally tickets, a Z1000 A1 owners manual and best of all, a club magazine, membership ticket and leaflet from my Z1 owners club membership in 1993
I’ll bring them to the show for others too see

A huge thanks to Ultim8PC for helping me with a ticket

Some pics from Friday setup see you guys Over the weekend

Looking brilliant lads, sterling effort as always.

Fab to meet up with folks again. Sadly, I couldn't spend much time on the stand as I was running my own one at the event.
The clubs stand look great, with a nice selection of bikes.
I'll see if I can one of my MK2s ready for next year and it would be great if we could get an ST also.

Great show chaps, nice to put faces to names, really enjoyed the whole weekend...

Once again, a very busy but worthwhile weekend, thank you to everyone involved for your help and commitment in making the event a success for us!
