tom_gr7 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I don't know if this interests anyone, but i saw a post on the NBO's facebook page, here's the link - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Northern-Big-One/114138271944139 Pasted it too, for those that cant view FB at work or whatever. "First of all I would just like to say a BIG BIG Thank You to everyone whoattended NBO 12 yesterday and Very Well Done to all the CS OrganisingTeam and Club Members who helped out on the day at LWV and made NBO 12 ahuge success !.Thanks to everyone we raised £2803,66p for the Childrens air Ambulance .We were let down by a few clubs who couldn`t muster enough for a stand it seems and by a fewtraders who were no shows. There is nothing we can do about that so Ithink the amount we raised on the day was a superb effort. Well DoneEveryone !. The main thing is everybody enjoyed themselves and we havereceived a lot of good feedback already.Hopefully next yearwe can build the numbers back up , please feel free to give us anyfeedback you may have on NBO 12 so we can improve the show for thefuture. The show is for the Subaru Community so please help us improveit in any way we can. The BTCC was on at Croft just up the road ,Goodwood Festival of Speed was on , The Scottish rally was on and sowere BSB`s at Knockhill. We book a year in advance and are at the mercyof the motorsport world who don`t announce dates until well into the newyear , March in 2014 to be exact.The judging worked verywell this year Thanks to Andy Rae, Rob Ostle and Chris Towers withassistance from Gus McKerrow. It took no time at all and was drama freealso , Cracking Job Lads.Very well done to all the trophywinners at NBO 12 the standard of the cars was extremely high and acredit to all the entrants , superb job !.Classic ImprezaWinner : Ryan France P1Runner Up : Dave Wright P1Bug Eye ImprezaWinner : Simon James STiRunner Up : Lee "Locky" Hampton STiBlob Eye ImprezaWinner : Nigel Haggerty STiRunner Up : Mike Purcell STiHawk Eye ImprezaWinner : Melanie Hayman STiRunner Up : Rob Lomas RB 320Hatch & Saloon 2008 ->Winner : John Jones STiRunner Up : David Irving STiOther Subaru ModelsWinner : Judith Hardy BRZRunner Up : Jim from Mangoletsi New MY2015 STi 340NBO TestWinner : Lee Heathcock 1997 CatalunyaCAR OF THE SHOW :Winner : Melanie Hayman STiRunner Up : Judith Hardy BRZI must apologise but I don`t have the club stand results , they will follow.Many Photographs were taken by Mariusz on the day which will also be shared with you all very soon 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)And finally NBO 13 is booked for June 21st 2015.

Gambit Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Nice Job Mel 2 winners medals I know you said you have now won the car of the show 2 years running :D Well hopefully we can get a stand there next year I'm glad I hadn't booked us in to be there if some clubs hadn't made it after booking a spot :( I'd have felt bad, but I guess that's the clubs not getting their numbers sorting before jumping in :( rookie mistakes..

stants Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Just read the comments on fb, to be fair who goes with the intentions solely to win a prize it's a charity event and a from what I saw a good event full of like minded people to have a get together and natter, I went with an open mind as I had no idea what to expect, met some nice new people and had a good day out, I didn't think it was supposed to be too competitive and was to be takeen in good faith, if I didn't I wouldn't have entered into the other subaru category, didn't have chance in hell of winning but I hope my extra couple of quid will help some poorly children, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
