When we have previously held a meet at shildon it has been free for us, however I have been in constant contact with them for around 2 months, and had to send them around 10 emails, and have just had a reply from them for the venue, and they want £400 for the car show to take place. See Below. We currently have around 27 Members for our forum planning on attending, and expect around 15/20from Durham MG Club making a total of around 42, which would mean that each attending would be around £10 per car.
I am going to go back to them and see if they will reduce the cost, but not happy with Shildon at all.
What do you think about this ?
"Hi Stuart
