I do know about the show and basically it's a greewashing excercise which is frigging expensive.
I've been asked to show cars at several shows including at Excel in the green village there and they want £10,000 to show just one car
I imagine the Excel show will be considerably more expensive than the Eden event, though I may be wrong.
Also, they may well allow
clubs, such as ours, to have a stand for free. Many events have charges for manufacturers but are free to clubs.
I think shows like this are a
good thing. Yes, there will be some overblown greenwashing hype - that goes with the territory. But any event which stimulates thought about alternative transport, and greener transport, is a good thing in my view.
And if any of our members feel like going along and waving the BVS flag on the either of the weekends, then I think that would be great. The organisers might be willing for some copies of Plugged In to be sold at the event for example, or for a few BVS membership flyers to be distributed. Just a thought.
I have emailed the Bartlett family to see if they have any plans to be at the show.
