Better
traffic access at Stoneleigh 2016
Despite
the access chaos the new format for the MG Show at Stoneleigh, combining it with
the Triumphs, produced a well attended show with four halls of exhibitors and
many visitors on Sunday 2nd March. Visitors were arriving all morning and some
commented the show might usefully run over the two days. The show is always one
of the first events in the year which combines an opportunity to meet many MG
enthusiasts from the UK and overseas with the fascination of browsing the stalls
and seeking out parts and spares.

| Many
classic car enthusiasts who drove to the annual International MG and Triumph Show
at Stoneleigh earlier this year will have found themselves stuck in long slow
moving traffic winding round country lanes to a back entrance to the Stoneleigh
showground. The frustration with event marshalls waving drivers away from the
main entrance was clear - many drivers were furious and some even abondoned their
visit and drove home. Quite why the organisers had changed the access arrangements
was not clear - previously for many years it has been relatively straighforward
to gain entrance to the spacious showground to park up.
A report in this
week's Classic Car Weekly says there will be "better show access"
for the event on 21st February 2016.
