Ok 1. Kelmarsh may not be everybody's first choice, BUT it is near motorway links, not too far from the MMOC office (Club Merchandise has to be packed and a van hired to transport it and all the P/A system etc) so it can get expensive if the rally site is too far away.

2. We need 80/100 acres to hold our rally - room for arena/large marquee, parking for 2,000+ cars and the campsite. There are not many sites that can offer this, that are within the MMOC budget's reach. Places like Longleat have been researched before but proved too costly.

Kelmarsh sounds good to me. Getting to it is good,I guess it's pretty central. If I remember the Naesby battle site is about 30 minutes away ? More than worth a visit. Well,it gets my vote.

Why can't the stuff go in a Minor van, I know there must be someone with one who can help.

Now now children
We will respect the mods
I get the feeling that it has 90% been decided
Poor old MMOC people having to pack and drive a van
Better to have 2000 cars drive a distance and it wont cost the office as much petrol
The above is only my opinions
Cumbria would would be nice for a change

Agreed,Tatton Park.Cheshire, good location 5 mins off M6 and holds at least three large classic car shows with camping each summer.

Seems that the question gets asked each year. Hopefully will be further north.
Leeds would be better

I heard it is in Kelmarsh in 2014.

Louise advises below where it has been over the last few years.
