I'm not sure you'll be able to use highly flammable contact adhesive at the show. Is that what you had in mind Richard?

Contact adhesive will be fine to use-I've used far worse at this show!
Kind regards

Good! Can’t say I’d got that far in to planning, other than to think that spray adhesive might be an issue.Johnwindwood wrote: ↑Mon Jan 31, 2022 19:37Contact adhesive will be fine to use-I've used far worse at this show!

Is anyone else staying overnight near the NEC on Friday night? Not Saturday, as original post!

I'll be going home - the NEC is only a half-hour train ride for me.Pete Boole wrote: ↑Wed Feb 02, 2022 12:00Is anyone else staying overnight near the NEC on Saturday night?

Good point - I think that I need to consider spending the Saturday night in a hotel. Marcus

Re: NEC Classic restoration show 18-20 March 2022
It looks like my plans to be at the show have been dashed - my daughter’s graduation ceremony has been rescheduled from last summer to that weekend. Will need to review my options but could I ask for anyone who is prepared to look after setup on Thursday and the running of the stand thereafter? I may be able to be there on Sunday.
Many thanks, Richard

I will be there Thursday morning but will have to leave after lunch, and I'll be back on the stand Friday lunchtime and over the weekend. So I can't be there to oversee all of setup, but I will help out as much as I can while I can.

Re: NEC Classic restoration show 18-20 March 2022
I am planning on bringing my car, say approx 3:00pm on the Thursday afternoon. If necessary, I should be able to get there a little earlier. I am happy to be on the stand on Friday morning, Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday. Marcus

Re: NEC Classic restoration show 18-20 March 2022
Hi, I have previously, on here and in the Zoom meetings, offered myself and Gold S1 503 Elite for the stand if needed. My wife has just booked a trip to Iceland over that period so not longer available as an option. Hope it goes well.

Re: NEC Classic restoration show 18-20 March 2022
Thanks for letting us know Andy - just finalising everything and we might have needed your car - it would have been an asset on the stand - but I hope you enjoy Iceland instead.AndrewWebber wrote: ↑Thu Feb 17, 2022 09:30Hi, I have previously, on here and in the Zoom meetings, offered myself and Gold S1 503 Elite for the stand if needed.

Re: NEC Classic restoration show 18-20 March 2022
I'm willing to lend a hand if it would help. I'm available any of the days including Thursday.
What car is that?
