Recommended Posts

Hi Jon ,welcome to the cab club. The beauleiu Ford show is unusual that you pay on the day,most shows you pay in advance. It costs £10.00 per person in your car,that includes free entrance into the museum and top gear world .normal price for the museum is more than £20.00 per person so it's a bonus doing the show at a really nice venue and having the museum to spend time in. Gates open at 9.00 but clubs can get in from 8.00 to,avoid the lengthy queues as there were over a thousand cars last year. Where are you coming from Jon ?

Thank you all for the information! Very much interested in going to more events if they are around.

 

Ollie - Please could you put me on the list? I will PM you if i can work it out!

 

Ian - I have been to the show before and remember paying the high prices! So will be nice to see all of the Fords, and then have a nose around the museum. I'll probably aim to get there for 8-8:30 as you say to try and beat the rush. I'm also thinking of Joining this club as a full member, for £18 i can't really say no! Is there anything i need to get to display in the car? Club sticker etc? I'll be Coming from Chichester (West Sussex) and picking up the parents from Portsmouth (Hampshire) if you know where i am!

You need to be a full £18 member to be on the club so called stand,this also covers you insurance wise in case of damage to your car should something like a flagpole blows over on it etc ,a lot of clubs don't have this but you may not be covered on private land on your own insurance. Look forward to meeting you and your family.

Hey All,

 

Not long now. Been driving around for almost a month as i managed t get on the road a little sooner and im in love!

My partner did have a few choice words for the car last week when we broke down though.

Alternator feed to the battery fell off during the week, i didnt notice and the car died in wickham. Fixed and back on the road.

 

Is there an autojumble there?

 

Looking forward to meeting you all, are there any other events coming up?

 

Thanks

Jon.

Hi all received this email regarding the club stand at simply ford

I will print some club labels to give out at the car park .

so far we have 13 attending if you would like to print your own then send me a pm and I will send via email as I cant attach on this post

 

regards Ollie

 

 

Thank you for booking in as a club for our Simply Ford event on Sunday 30th April. It is going to be a very busy event, with more club cars booked in for this year than ever before so we would appreciate any help you can give us to make the event run as smoothly as possible.

 

Final Numbers

Please could you update us with your final numbers for your club as soon as possible so we can work on and finalise the club layout.

Club Arrivals

Please use our Main Museum Entrance off the B3056 first thing. This entrance will be open from 8am for club arrivals - we will not be opening the entrance gate into the complex until 8am. Any early arrivals will be directed into one of our visitor car parks to wait until opening at 8am.

Only Trade vehicles will be allowed access prior to 8am.

This entrance will then operate as a club and general entrance from 9am.

 

Please Note: The Attraction, including the museum does not open until 10am.

 

Our additional Entrance off the B3054 will be signed as “Simply Ford Additional Entrance” and will be open from 9am-11am only and operate as a club and general entrance. If you arrive at this entrance before 9am or after 11am you will be directed round to the main entrance as there is nowhere to wait here.

 

Club Labels

To help us identify each club and direct vehicles to the correct club location it would be a great help for every vehicle that will be on your club stand to print off in A4 the attached club label and place this in their windscreen on arrival.

Gazebo’s

Please can we remind you that if your club stand is in the complex side (this is the hard standing arena and surrounding grass areas) you will not be able to put gazebo’s up within your club stands. We do ask for any clubs that wish to bring gazebo’s to let us know in advance and you will be located in the event fields.

 

Catering

The outside catering units will be open from 8am to cater for club arrivals. The Brabazon restaurant will only be open for refreshments from a slightly later time of approx. 8.30am.

Tickets

For those that are yet to buy their tickets - We do ask that each vehicle makes their own order for the persons in their vehicle when purchasing online. As only 1 e-ticket is generated per order all members are covered on that ticket and if you get separated on arrival it's not very easy to tie all members up when on the same e-ticket.

If anyone needs to make a bulk order you can do this over the phone via 01590 614614 and we can post out individual tickets to the organiser.

Tickets will be available on the day at £10 per adult and £5 per child when in a Ford vehicle.

We are able to take card payments on the day but it is not 100% reliable so do ask for people to pay for entrance tickets as cash where possible.

We hope you enjoy this year’s Simply Ford event and thank you in advance for all your help.

If you have any questions then don’t hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,

The Beaulieu Events Team

Ah right fab.

So to confirm they can get on the site and in effect show their car on another part for no clubs.

 

Would they be able to sit with us?

For sure,it's called simply Ford so if they are driving one Ford car with two occupants it will cost them £20 to get in and park there car on the show ground,and yes they are more than welcome to sit with us,tell them to bring chairs lol
