GEMINI EVENTS
7th July: Festival of Transport
LAUNCHES 2013 SHOW CALENDAR WITH AN EXCITING OFFER FOR CLASSIC & PERFORMANCE VEHICLE CLUBS
Barleylands Farm, Billericay, Essex CM112UD Back on the calendar by popular demand this transport extravaganza features camping and entertainment for all clubs, exhibitors and traders. All classes of vehicle welcome.
The 2013 Gemini Events show calendar has been launched with a unique and generous offer to all classic vehicle clubs to use the shows for their own club National Day. Event Director, Stephen Smith, said: “During 2013 we are offering clubs the opportunity to share our show venues for their own special day. This could save clubs the considerable cost of venue hire and insurance. We can organise space at our shows for clubs of any size, dependent only on the location. Knebworth for example could easily take 1000 cars from a one-make club. Iʼd like to invite club organisers to contact me to discuss the options.”
