Corvette Nationals Sywell 18th & 19th July.
I thought I would provide an update on where we're at with this years Corvette Nationals planning.
We have two main sponsors this year, Gliptone & AlterTherm.
Arnold Clark are providing three C8 Corvettes on both Saturday & Sunday for members to test drive, Stingray, E Ray & ZO6.
As of last Friday 15th May there were just 9 rooms left at the Aviator hotel on site at Sywell for Saturday night.
Saturday gala dinner bookings will start soon.
Post gala dinner live entertainment is for the first time Vince Vega & The Road Dogs.
We have the three race car simulators and Scalextric that went down so well last year.
We have a GM Executive attending that will be providing an insight into the future of Corvette.
Gliptone will have a full range of detailing products and tools on display and discounted to members along with other trade stands.
Trophy presentation is on Sunday at 14:30
The AGM is as usual held on Saturday in the cockpit meeting room where members are given the chance to have their say and even put themselves forward for a committee position or regional rep role. There are currently three regions that have a vacant rep position - BNC (Beds, Northampton & Cambridgeshire) Central North & Hearts & North London. Mike Buchanan is stepping down after many years as Merchandise Secretary so please consider these positions. I am also after five years as Nationals Organiser stepping down as I feel the role is due a refresh even though I've really enjoyed my time on the committee. We do have a volunteer to fill my role but applications will be considered should anyone else put themselves forward.
All Corvette enthusiasts including members and non members are welcome at the Corvette Nationals and there is no entrance fee. You can come and go as you please and the event starts at 09:00 on Saturday closes at 17:00 then 09:00 - 16:00 on Sunday. Owners of other American cars are also welcome. Some of us like to make a long weekend of the event arriving on Friday and leaving on Monday and looking at hotel bookings on Friday there could be close to 100 of us arriving on Friday.
