Is there going to be a Donington Show in 2012?

Anyone have more facts as to whether there will be a show this year? Saw it somewhere that due to refurbishments at Donington there was some difficulty over dates which may or may not make it difficult to hold a show on the dates originally required.

There is the possibility that it will be held at Silverstone during the Silverstone Classic weekend.

I think there is some problem with the Donington people at the moment.

Not sure it will be a good move, too much to see at the classic over the weekend and the Lotus show would be depleted by whats going on outside.

I have just received my Club Lotus Newsletter for 12th January. It tells me what a stunning success the Welsh week-end was. This was held in July.

Please let me know if Donington happened, or not. :roll:

I hope they don't organise the show in August again as with the ash problem and cancelled flights and then organising last years' show in August during our summer hols i've missed the show for three years now. :cry:

There will be an article in the next Club Lotus News. To answer the question, no there will be no Donington show in 2012.

However, all your favourite people, suppliers and sundry others will be at the dedicated Lotus area that will be established at the Silverstone Classic 21/22 July. Please see: right-side-pond-f28/elan-50th-celebrations-silverstone-classic-t24187.html

Tickets ?40 to ?80. Bit steep unless Alan is organising a discount for Club Lotus members.

Join the Lotus Drivers Club. They are doing two for the price of one ticket. Maybe Club Lotus will be doing the same.
