Displaying a range of Austin 7's Like other clubs we encourage our members to attend the show. There is a waiting list of clubs wanting to joint the show. The clubs receive their stands without payment, but have to agree to carry the show advert in their magazine/newsletter. There are a number of limited tickets available, dependent on the number of vehicles you display, which is dependent on the size of stand you are given. They also give car park passes. Car parking is £12 this year.
The Midshires " Club " as you describe them is a Group within the PWA7C. The Midlands Austin Seven Club is a recognised Club within the Association.
It is true that anyone exhibiting their car qualifies for a complimentary ticket, for both admission and parking. There are also further complimentary tickets which are made available to those PWA7C members able and willing to assist with both the set up and manning of the stand during the four days. Being a Committee member of Pre War does not automatically qualify you to one of these passes. The number of passes issued by the organisers is limited and thus those willing to work on the stand can qualify.
Like any event, a lot of time, energy and thought goes into the preparation of the stand beforehand and of course this costs money, which Pre War is fortunate to afford.
We have no control over the purchase cost of tickets by our members unfortunately and I agree a day's attendance can be expensive.
Pre War's attitude to exhibiting is not just to showcase its Club but to showcase Austin Sevens in generally and keep the marque high profile. I am sure the Midlands A7C has the same attitude when it gains an entry.
Trust the above helps you to understand the basics of the Show.

However the nearest railway station; Hampton in Arden and Marston Green have carparks and the return fare is £2.40. If you live in the Centro area your OAP bus pass covers the trains in the Centro area.
Like other clubs we offer the passes to those members who are willing to display their cars and to help on the stand.
Discounted tickets are available by quoting the discount number which features in the advert carried in the club Magazine/Newsletter.
