Supercar Siege, Sunday 17th May 2015 - Leeds Castle, Kent
 

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...mailBanner.jpg
We are happy to announce that the Supercar Siege is back again for 2015.

Kindly hosted by Leeds Castle (Kent) and in support of Royal Navy & Royal Marines Children's Fund we aim to expand on what has proven to be a popular fixture to the supercar calendar.

For those of you who missed the last few years’ events, we have a basic concept for the show, we invite a select amount of clubs to come and display their cars within the castle grounds in return for a small charity donation. The clubs will also be joined by a number of manufacturing trade stands showing off their latest models. We then throw in some amazing food vendors as well as some traders, add a Navy/Army Air Corps helicopter and let Leeds Castle do what it does best, add an amazing backdrop for the whole event.

The show is targeted unapologetically as a family day, a chance for those who love cars to come out in force and spend the day looking around the varied selection of makes and models we have put together as well as exploring the fantastic sights and activities Leeds Castle has to offer.

The 2013 show had 4000 visitors come through the castle gates, the 2014 event had 6500 people enter which was amazing even by the castle standards.
We aim to smash that record for 2015.

The day is open to all and will have a relaxed family focused feel to it, highlights include:

• 700 cars ranging from iconic hatch backs to hyper cars and everything in between.
• Small traders’ village selling items specifically targeted towards the car enthusiast.
• A selection of food vendors who have been chosen for their amazing offerings.
• Dream Rides of approx 10 miles in a variety of stunning cars, courtesy of the Sporting Bears in return for a charity donation.
• A huge array of children's activities including an incredible play park, face painting and falconry displays.
• Static HM Navy/Army Air Corps Helicopter, *Apache currently booked in but subject to change.
• Access to tour the stunning Castle and grounds which can take all day to get around if you do it properly.

Prices are as follows:

Static car display/club display pass is £10.
This covers all passengers in the vehicle (max 4 pax).
The normal entry prices for Leeds Castle are £24 per adult and £18.50 per child so this is a huge saving for a family day out.
Online donations for clubs stand passes will be going live in March with the cut-off point being the start of May.

We are seeking your help to raise much needed money for a charity that does fantastic work with children affected by bereavement, illness or disability or complications from service life.

Having discussed the club stand with the forum staff, we are happy to say we have provisionally set aside 15 club stand spaces for you. This can of course be revised closer to the date.

Points to note:

After a few bad apples at the last show we are asking for a self-policing policy for the clubs in attendance.

We are working on a 3 strike rule, with those leaving early, anti-social behaviour etc gaining a mark which will result in the club will be penalised.
Although this sounds harsh, we had one club turn up at 08:00hrs and then decided to leave at 11:00hrs leaving a gaping hole in the display lineup.

This is a charity event where you are displaying your cars for the public to view. You are donating £10 and for that you get entry to an amazing event/location.
We think it's a pretty fair deal as do 99% of those who attend.

With that in mind we have the following guidelines that we ask all those attending to follow:

- All cars must be on the stand by 08:00hrs and remain in place until 16:30hrs. This has been agreed with the venue and we have no say in moving these times due to the large number of visitors.

- No revving of engines. There is a vast array of wildlife in the castle grounds including Peacocks which distress easily as well as very young children who don't appreciate having a Monaro engine revved as they walk past.

- No pets are allowed within the castle grounds unless it is a service/assistance animal.

- No sound systems (inside or outside the cars).

- No marquees are allowed to be erected. Floor and flag banners are allowed but will need to be weighted correctly.

- No BBQ's or cooking allowed within the castle grounds.

As per the last 2 threads on this forum, please add your name and car make/model to the list if you are hoping to attend and we will update when the donation site goes live.

Any questions please feel free to ask,

ARSE! Been wanting to do this for a few years, but I'm out of the country that weekend! :doh:

I'll have to settle with looking at all your pictures again!

I really want to go to this, but I can't commit to keeping a three year old boy interested and entertained from 8:00 to 16:30. He might be fine and have a whale of a time, but there's no guarantee.

So on the basis no one can move from the stand in that time frame, I can't be sure I won't cause the club to get a 'strike' as if we need to leave, we need to leave.

For a day that is 'targeted unapologetically as a family day' that inflexibility seems a bit incongruous.

Is that really the set up or have I misunderstood?

Sorry for being a griping little twerp (you can see why I worry about the boy), but having failed twice to make it I thought I'd manage it this year!!

Plenty to do there for kids

Enjoyed last year's event .... :)

Eight and a half hours is a long day out for a three year old.

As I say, could be fine, but he could just as easily get really tired and throw a wobbly. The public at large don't need to be subjected to that!

It's a bit of a shame if I have read that correctly, as it's a bit of a sledgehammer to crack a nut. One whole club naffing off is very different from one car from a club leaving early.

There was the option last year to be escorted out by a Hi-Vis wearing official if you 'needed' to leave early. But I expect they don't want to make that public or else everyone will want to do it.

There is always the option to park in the public car park and not on stand, that way you can turn up and go when you like.

Last year they ran an offer for friends/family to BOGOF

We took our kids last year, aged 5, 7 and 10 and they loved it, up until about 1pm, by that time they were tired (been up since 5.30) we had done the castle tour, played in the play park and looked at all the cars by 1pm, they eventually started getting ratty, wouldn't sit still. Don't get me wrong it was a brilliant day but for young kids it is a long old day so if we do it again this year we said we are leaving the kids with the mother in law.

Good Evening all
I am proud to inform you that I have been chosen to be your point of contact for Supercar Siege and as such am here to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Please contact me directly or on this thread for anything you may want to know.
I look forward to seeing you all on the day.

Hi Quentin thanks for the update.
Perhaps you could answer the questions above that we have atempted to answer relating to early leavers.
Some of our attendee will have young family with them and it is a very long day if they are forced to arrive early and leave late.

I appreciate the venues concerns and H&S implications but there has to be some level of flexibility or else show vehicle attendance may suffer.

Hi bud,

I am afraid that there is very little flexibility in regards to leaving early, from both a H&S aspect as well as this being a show for the visitors of the castle. We are given access to this amazing venue with a strict set of guide lines handed down from Leeds Castle.

The public/visitors do not start coming in until 10:30am.

The visitors are able to purchase tickets up until the end of the day.
You have say 3 people from your stand that want to leave early at around 1pm. Times that by 50 clubs which are attending.

To have a large portion of cars deciding to leave after lunch would be deemed as unacceptable by the castle as we would risk not being able to use the venue in future.

This is the reason why we have had to envoke the self policing aspect for club stands. We set the same guide lines as some of the other large car shows which take pace throughout the year and think (hope) they are fair and reasonable.

We have covered this off after the past two events, it comes down to a trade off, we ask for the support of car clubs to help raise money for our chosen charity, in return for a small donation of £10 they get access to Leeds Castle and its grounds, they get to take part in what we think is a worthwhile cause/show and in return we ask that they ensure they can arrive by 9:30am (at the latest) and stay until 16:30pm.

If you can't stay until the 16:30hrs, we are sad to say that this possibly is not a car show suitable for you.
