This event is a first for the MESS and our stand was contiguous with the High Peak Reliant stand and I must say they put on a great and varied display of the various Reliant models. Our stand was smaller which suited us as we only wanted to show three or four cars. We knew Bruce was working on improving our stand but even I was shocked when I arrived to see our new stand, it's clean and modern lines attracted people from other clubs to enquire where we had purchased it! I think the pictures say it all.

We ALL owe Bruce a big thank you for all of the time, effort and money he has put into the new stand which was considered by many to be the 'best stand' at the show. I guess if you want to see the new stand then come and visit us at the NEC in November. ;o)

Needless to say the show was about the cars and over the weekend we had much interest in the marque with one gentleman "chairman of a very elite club" now looking to buy a good MB and start to reduce his fleet and ties and get back to just enjoying cars with no politics. Two other people showed serious interest in cars and one even knew that we currently had no cars for sale. Many people read our marque information boards which is a very good and improves awareness of our marque. We spoke on Sunday evening and we feel that the show was a real success for the MESS and for the RSSOC.
