Subject: Stow Motor Show



Dear Sir/Madam,

I write on behalf of Stow-on-the-Wold Motor Club to invite you and your
members to our Motor Show on Saturday 9 July 2022 at The Queen Elizabeth II
Field Lower Swell Road (B4068) Stow on the Wold Gloucestershire GL54 1LD.
Please circulate the details below to your members.

The show is set in the beautiful Cotswolds countryside and is a fantastic
drive-out venue for your club or individual members.

Stow-on-the-Wold Motor Show raised over £3000 for local Charities at our
last show in 2018 and aim to do even better this year.

Entry to the show is free to the public and if you would like to exhibit
your vehicle the entry cost is £5.00 per vehicle to the QEII Cricket field
showground.

Please note that field access and exit is up and down a slight slope. This
is not a problem for historic tractors, motorbikes and most cars.
Prestigious vehicles with extremely low ground clearance can reserve one of
the limited number of parking spaces in the Stow Square Salon Privé for
£15.00. Bookings for this are on a first come, first served basis.

The field opens at 10:00 for vehicle exhibitors. All vehicles must be on
site by 11:30 on Saturday 9th July. Enquiries about the Stow Square Salon
Privé: telephone 01451 830123or 0778 6260306.

Another option for your Owners Club is to set up a stall to promote your
club and encourage new members. Stall / pitch holders will find our pricing
extremely reasonable.

Please see our website http://www.stowmotorshow.co.uk for further details and to
book your vehicle or stall via Eventbright. Numbers are limited so please
book soon.

Looking forward to meeting you all at the show.

Kind Regards
Stow Motor Show Committee

Is it just me or is their pricing policy all backwards? Come for free if you're contributing nothing which makes the day for everyone else, or if you wish to be one of those that makes the day for everyone else, you must pay.....oh and if you can't or will not park on inadequate field land, then we have something else suitable where we'll let you pay triple for the privilege.

At a time of austerity and potential recession looming where people are struggling to afford to fill their car with fuel for the essential journey's etc.

Would it be unsurprising if very few cars, or even worse, none at all turned up for display on the day due to this pricing policy?

Thats one of the worst "invitation packages" ive ever seen........Needless to say, I wont be attending.

I have been saying that for years, all the big shows charge for entry and without the cars they would have nothing! I stopped going to a lot of them for the very reason (plus being really busy) The above is probably one of the worst charge for exhibiting and nothing for visiting.
