Events in November?

[whooligan]

I'll be in the UK in November, out from Australia. I will be staying in the Nottingham/Sheffield area and want to get out to a few events for Classic Fords.

Wouldn't mind catching up with local clubs and check out a few cars while I'm in the country.

Have you been to the UK in November before? Most classics are in their winter slumber by then! This indoor event at the NEC in Birmingham is worth a visit though.

Echo vistas comments. Mines already in hibernation. But the NEC show is very good. It's massive you will struggle to see it all properly in one day.

The Little John Classic Car & Motorcycle Club have weekly meets on Wednesday evenings at Mansfield football stadium from 6pm. I'm usually there - let me know when you'll be there and I'll make sure (if I'm not away!) that I pop in with my Anglia!

 

There's also quite a few other meets around the Nottingham/Derby/Sheffield area, keeping an eye on the Little John group on Retards Club will let you know about a lot of them - the local members are really active and do go to a lot of meets/shows!

Thanks for the responses. Yes, I've booked my tickets for the NEC show.

I'm from the UK originally so Im familiar with the weather in November. Didn't think much would be on but I thought I would ask.

Confused - I should be able to get to a couple of events in my brother's mini.

My brother moved back to the UK last year and is looking for a permanent base in Nottingham then I can ship a Capri and Escort I have over.

I'm from Melbourne in Australia and its getting really expensive to live here so Im looking at possibly living 6 months here and 6 months there.

The weather is no longer a plus in Australia as we are getting longer winters (floods and cold in October) and hotter summers (bushfires in march).. To be honest I prefer the cold.

Anyway, cheers for the links. I will check them out.
