Classic/Sports Car Show every 1st/3rd Wednesday - Griffin's Head, Papplewick, Notts



  Titanium 182
Hello East Midlands people. The folks down at the Griffin's Head put on a classic/sports car show from May-September on every 1st/3rd Wednesday. My mate, my wife and I went down this week to check it out, and there were a lot of great cars on show, from Mk1 & 2 Escorts, to Peugeot 205 GTIs, to old Rolls Royces etc etc. However, mine was the only Clio! It would be great if we could pick a date and take a convoy of Clios in.

I'd suggest something like Wed 7th August. Hopefully the weather would be great around then (we can only hope) and I don't think it clashes with any of the other national forum meets. Let me know if this is of interest to anyone. Cars usually start arriving from about 6pm, and start leaving when it gets dark. It is in the field behind the pub, so they do food and drink, but there is also a burger stall and outside bar also. Could be fun!

I've seen this posted on PistonHeads and it is something i keep meaning to attend when i see some of the pictures posted in the topic. Sounds like a good idea for a meet :)

I've been told about this. Apparently it's quite a good and friendly atmosphere. I'll be coming down as it's not too far away :) Not sure which wednesday yet though/

Yeh, furthest I've driven it is back from Mick's last weekend though...

Looks like you have one too? is it yours that is regularly parked up near Ravensdale/Samworth?

Enjoying it I hope? :)

Yeah, had it for about a month now. No it's not that one, I don't think the owner is on here but he owns that garden machinery place opposite the car wash. I might have to put a CS flyer on his window lol.

Never seen an inferno around here before. Now suddenly there's two! :p

awesome. what time are you setting off?
 
Re: Classic/Sports Car Show every 1st/3rd Wednesday - Griffin's Head, Papplewick, No

I finish work at 6 so I guess we'll just grab something to eat and set off about half past-ish.

right, I might have to see you there then mate. I am on bath and bed duty with the little one until about 7pm.

Do you want to pm me your mobile number so we can find each other?

Yeah alright then mate. It depends how long this rain carries on for if we actually go. I bet the field will be all waterlogged and swampy at this rate :/

I'll pm you my number in a sec :)

I wouldnt bother given this weeks weather. I think it will put alot of the more interesting/older cars off from attending at the prospect of getting rained on.

Just got back from this. I'd definitely recommend going down when it's better weather, saying that, there were still about 40+ cars. Some of them were absolute minters, it was like they'd never been driven!

It'd be nice to see some more Clios down there as I was the only one lol.

Also, a few people there said that when the meet isn't at griffins head, it is held at the little john in ravenshead as the guy owns both pubs.
