I haven't been for a couple of years but it used to be reserved undercover parking for Triumphs?

Usually a big warehouse set aside for Triumph parking. Everything else is outside.

If I remember, the show is in Hall 1 & 2, and the Triumph parking was in the Blackdown Buildings, or thereabouts.

I didn't know there was dedicated Triumph-only parking - was expecting to park up in the regular parking area

I was thinking that. I've never been to any show before, so it'll be an experience.

John,

Don't go expecting rows and rows of shiny exhibits. There will be displays by most of the major clubs (including SOC) and usually a few cars for sale. The Triumph parking is just that, somewhere to park your Triumph. Chance to wander around and look, but it is usually deserted. Most of the display areas are full of traders and autojumble.

There's nothing like over-selling an event! Are you trying to put me off?

No, John. It's just that you said you had never been to any show before, and I wasn't sure what your expectations were. If you want to browse for bits, see some nice cars on club stands (and sample the usually excellent coffee on the SOC stand) and look at a few cars for sale, then it is a worthwhile event to visit. It is just different to Ally Pally or the NEC Classic Car shows.

I have decided to go anyway, despite yesterday's event!

Perhaps I should have added a . I'm not expecting a "show" in that sense, just a nosey round to see what's what. I've never been before because things usually seem to conspire against it - stuff to do, weather, memory etc...
