Default Simply Ford at Beaulieu.

Beaulieu car shows back on but only 500 people allowed in, no trade stands, no tickets on the day and only pre-booked.allowed. It's my local show so I will be there in my Saff on September 13th.

I usually do simply audi every year, as far as shows go, it’s usually a really good one, don’t know how it’ll be with those restrictions though 🥴

Have tickets already from before all this but not going.

no trade (not that there is much good anyway), no clubs sounds more like a car park and Beaulieu simply trying to keep their money. 2-3 hours each way for me too much for that.

Same as FF / Classic Ford, just want their ticket sales hence why in October.

frankly, shows need to be binned this year and go for broke next year

This year is a write off for shows imo, all the ones that I usually frequent have been cancelled, Ford IOW Take Over, RS Combe to name a couple, I have a ticket for Ford power live at brands later on in the year but not sure if that will go ahead, if it does it does if it don’t it don’t, rapidly going through the year now my car hasn’t even been on the road, lucky to get a few local meets and run outs in I reckon. There’s always next year

I agree with you Steve, it probably won't be very good but for me it is just a 10 minute drive from my house so I will give it a go. The other shows which are much further away I will be giving a miss and just hope that next year things can get back to something like normal!!

I was looking into simply ford as only 30 mins from me but with all the restrictions in place we've decided we'll go camping instead! Always go every year normally. Hopefully next year it'll be back to normal.

Same for most of us, just hope next year will be better.I have been helping my Son convert his Subaru WRX STI into a track day car, lots of engine and suspension work etc Big AP brakes, roll cage and hoping for around 400bhp. Plenty of track action we hope for next year!!!

many are still very apprehensive of attending any event seeing as the all clear has not been given, when it comes to safety of you and your love ones sitting out some events for this year is the right thing to do, being bored is no excuse for any wreckless behavior as some show organisers are desperate to emtpy your wallet

I have emailed Beaulieu this morning asking for transfer to next year and they are issuing a refund instead for me. My cars are off the road at the moment so would not be attending

I am still not 100% sure myself if I will go and of course if it pours with rain I will be staying at home!
