Want to help....show of cars?

Post by Dutch_Diver »

All,

Some friends of mine have a stall at a market in Stellenbosch, but the 3 weeks ago, they were told the venue they have used for ages is no longer available and were kicked off.

They have found a new venue, The Church grounds on Alexander Street in Stellenbosch but as no one knows they are there, business is almost zero. I popped in this morning and all the people are struggling.

I then had an idea but need help from loads of people. The ground is large and there's enough room for a small car show for probably 30 to 50 cars. If we could get enough cars and people to help, we could run a free small show, I would find someone to do a little advertising and maybe having the cars there would help attact people who would then also walk around the stalls.

What do people think......show could be on a Saturday from 8am to 2pm....we could start later and end later....thought we could have few beers and a braai to attact cars owners and just maybe do as a gathering. Was thinking of doing something in 2 to 3 weeks???

Let me know on this thread. Other makes or other clubs all welcome if we do it.....see if you can find other owners to join!

I'll come if the date fits, 2 weeks doesn't, 3 weeks does... I'll bring the Ghia. I think it is a good idea, getting involved in your community in a positive way.

Hey Frank - who's your friends?
We supply eggs to the guy who sells organic vegetables there, and I occasionally deliver them in the Noble!! Chickens don't seem to be interested in laying at the moment though - maybe they need to have a word with Vader........ :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Sounds like a good idea - I'd be keen to support it if I can!!

I don't exactly have a show car but I will come by and check out the market and the cars. As Ron said getting involved in a positive way. ( I just watched the worst documentary on gangs/murder in S.A & I am utterly horrified/shocked)
