Legal Cruise Sat 5th October 2002
SOE CRUISE LEGAL INFO (Best Of British):
Date: Saturday 5th October 2002
Location: Brooklands Airfield, Near Byfleet, Surrey
Admission - £5.00 per person
General info:
The show is taking place at the massive Brooklands airfield, which is 10 miles north of Guildford, Surrey. The show will be starting at 10am until 4pm.
This show being organised because of the increased demand of a legal show in the Surrey area due to the closure of the Guildford cruise and there is
nothing in the area to cater for the cruises needs.
The event is organised by Matt &: Kev from the South Of England cruise team (SoE). SOE cruise have done four major successful cruises in the south, all of which have been featured in all the major magazines, and due to police &:
public demand the SOE cruise team have decided that the best way for cruising to survive in this area is to take the safer legal approach. This gives the chance for the police and the cruisers to be able to work with each other and not against each other!
After speaking to many cruisers and authorities, SOE cruise have decided to make it more of a show than a legal cruise, for this way you get to have many trade stands and club stands that you don`t often see at a legal cruise.
All of this has taken many months of hard work to get organised, so SOE Cruise hope you all show your appreciation by attending the event.... The organisers are cruisers doing the show for cruisers so remember, You will make the event what it is!
Organising an event such as this costs a lot of money, so this is why will
have to charge the entrance fee of £5.00 per person. This is to cover for the rent of the land, insurance, St Johns, stewards etc.
If this show proves successful, the organisers future plans are to do aim to do three shows per year - roughly every 4 months.There will be a website active in a few days that will be will be active all year round and will be constantly updated with more information as we get it. The address for that is www.tbob.co.uk
The show itself will be split up into five sections. These are:
* Show stands - Leading mags, bodyshops etc
* Club stands - Variety of car clubs from around the UK
* Trade stands - Variety of traders from around the UK
