Members of the 33 owner's clubs affiliated to the VBOA will be displaying over 2000 Vauxhalls, Bedfords and Opels ranging from the 1920s to the latest models. On Sunday we will be celebrating the "General Motors Years" to mark the centenary of GM, owners of Vauxhall and Opel since the 1930s. We will be assembling an example of every Vauxhall and Opel car model marketed in the UK since 1927, including the latest Vauxhall range. This unique tribute will see over 60 cars assembled in a special central display.
Sunday afternoon will see arena displays by participating clubs and the crowning of the Best Car in Show while a massive autojumble will be open both days to supply parts, accessories and memorabilia.
For the second year in succession Total Vauxhall magazine will be media partners for the event.

Any vehicle not displaying a VBOA sticker will be charged the normal camping rate of £19 per 24 hour period.
Windscreen stickers for show entrants should be printed in time for distribution after the next VBOA Committee meeting, on April 27; so we should have stickers available from early May. The DSG contact for stickers / entries this year will again be Phil Moorcroft (cheers Phil!).
Barring floods, famine, plagues of locusts etc., we should be OK for camping space this year, but there are now rooms available at the Travel Inn at the end of Crow Lane, next to the site; call 0870 990 6510
Full details and final instructions will be published in DSN 105, out early May, and will be posted here as we get them.
