BRITISH INVASION 2017 OFFICIAL THREAD...ARE YOU GOING? CHECK IN HERE!
Posted: Thu Jun 08, 2017 8:35 pm
There has been quite a bit of buzz about the 2017 British Invasion and one of the rumours going around is that this year will be the last invasion!
We've been in touch with Mike Gaetano, who is very much a supporter of The Men in White and our Singer displays and this is his response:
"...I suspect that people have confused the British Invasion with the VAE show that was held at Nichols Field and has been in Stowe for the past 30+ years. Nichols Field was sold and I understand that this year will be the last year that the VAE will hold their show on Nichols Field and that in 2018 they will be moving to Waterbury, VT. I had heard earlier that the British Invasion was moving to Waitsville, VT. I suspect that too was the result of someone hearing that the "Car Show" in "Stowe" was moving and they confused the shows and then again confused "Waitsfield" with "Waterbury"..."
So...no worries, folks..the Invasion continues!
When we talked to Mike he also mentioned that we would be very happy with the registration package this year. Well, he was true to his word when it arrived:
SINGER IS A FEATURED MARQUE ALONG WITH TRIUMPH AND MG! ( BUT Singer is on the cover!)
Be sure to download your registration package at the British Invasion site: http://britishinvasion.com/register.html
Mike also wanted us to be aware of a few housekeeping rules this year:
Show Field Registration for entry in the British Classic (People Choice) or the Car Corral will be held on Friday, September 15th between 12:00 Noon and 6:00 PM. There will be NO Saturday Registration in order to fairly accommodate all registered participants.
The Practice of allowing Cars to Register on Friday and then Park with other like cars in class has created a significant problem for those who are tasked with Field Layout on Friday afternoon and also for our preprinted Ballot Books and our Awards Program. We encourage you to Pre-Register.
Please note NEW this year Friday Registrants for the British Classic will park as a group on Saturday Morning in a Special Class for Friday Registrants and NOT with any of the defined pre-registration classes.
We will likely NOT accept Canadian currency at General Admission this year.
Next up...our schedule for 2017....
Cheers,
Phillip
