        None of the bods from HQ are booked in for Le Mans - they will all be at Stafford.
        
        The only trader not at Stafford because of Le Mans is Jigsaw Racing.
        
        Difficult to say if numbers will be down at Stafford. Although there are 400 people going to Le Mans, a significant proportion of this number of delegates are either from other clubs or wives, husbands, friends and other people who would not necessarily have gone to Stafford.
        
        Stafford could also take a hit on numbers as it also clashes with the football world cup final and Goodwood Festival of Speed. Although I'm sure they will have a TV available for the football.

          so hows it work, do you just turn up and camp?
          is it free to go/camp?
          
          will come early sat, stay overnight and go sunday enening.
          
          or is it one of those things where you end up in a carpark with a long walk to see anything, and you get charged a fortune?

            Danial,
            
            The format for the Stafford show is now fairly well established, so it is unlikely that there will be much different from last year as far as the domestic arrangements go.
            
            The entry cost is £17.50 for a ticket for the entire weekend, including the evening entertainment, which is good fun.
            
            If you want to camp, there are two onsite camping areas - a quiet area, and a not so quiet area. The quiet area is about 200 yards from the main hall. The not so quiet area is right next to the main hall. You take your pick when you arrive as to which area you want to join - only rules are keep quiet in the quiet area, and don't get upset if someone else in the not so quiet area makes more noise than you think they should.
            
            There are showers & toilets available in the main hall. There is a small shop to buy provisions, and a Cafe so you can buy breakfast if you don't want to get the camping stove out.
            
            Some people choose to stay in local hotels / B&B's and then get a Taxi to/from for Saturday evening.
            
            I believe that you can turn up on Friday afternoon if you want to get in a full day on Saturday as well as Sunday.
            
            It's a good opportunity to meet plenty of fellow Triumph enthusiasts, and if you think your newly restored Herald is up to scratch, you can enter it in the Concours competition - there are lots of classes, take a read about it in the Courier.
            
            Sadly I won't be there - I'll be at "that place in France" for the event that is competing with the Stafford International.

                sounds fair, so do I have to buy a ticket in advance?
                
                Im on my honymoon that week from 1st to 10th, touring around britan in the herald, and worked in going there, if the hood I orderd from the club arives, been orderd about 2 weeks, any ideas how long it takes, getting woried it wont come in time.
                
                Noisy stand sounds good as in hotel friday in same area night and sun night somewhere else 60miles away.
                
                love to think it would stand a chance in competition, but doubt it, just want to see all you lot that have all your preshous cars and meet greet and buy.

                  Just turn up and buy your tickets at the gate.
