Joining information by email
Thursday 19th September.
Joining details will be sent by email to all entrants received by today.
We have been delayed by 24h in sending out joining information because of the A41 closure at Waddesdon by HS2. This unexpected closure resulted in high level talks involving the County, police, HS2 and Downing Street(!). However the closure is to remain in place. It does NOT actually affect access to SHOWBUS but you need to ignore the diversion signs! Traffic is being diverted between Aylesbury and Bicester via Buckingham. There is going to be additional signage diverting HGV traffic away from Quainton.
Ignore the diversion signs.
We have been unable to send a few emails due to technical difficulties and hope to get them out by Monday at the latest. You should have received a letter, window display, Parking Reception Form and, if applicable, a Judging Sheet. It looks like those with GMAIL addresses have not got the maps. The site map is available
HERE and the routes to SHOWBUS map is below
If your entry information has not arrived or the files corrupted CLICK HERE to download the necessary paperwork. The page will be active from Monday 23rd September for SHOWBUS 2024 paperwork.
JUDGING FORMS AT SHOWBUS 2024
If you have not received a judging form you can initiate a form at SHOWBUS Control or
download one here and fill it out to bring with you.
Having a form on its own is not enough to get judged. You must check in at the SHOWBUS RALLY CONTROL. Our judges lists are made up on the Wednesday before the event and the judges allocated to their classes. Your window display sheet will make it clear whether your bus has been entered for judging or for display only. If it says "False" you will no be on the judges' lists so contact us before Wednesday! If it says "True" and you don't want to be judged then please let us know so judges don't waste precious time on the day.
INFORMATION FOR WHEN YOU ARRIVE AT SHOWBUS
1.
Have the right money and the "Parking Reception payment form" ready before getting to the site. To minimise cash handling, ideally place the form and money in the box provided at Parking Reception. This will be located at the entrance to the display area. We are unable to accept payment credit card on the day at Parking Reception.
The person driving, anyone under 16 and up to FIVE other passengers on all buses entering the site are admitted FREE.
Free admissions will only be valid at the bus entry gate and are only valid for those physically on board a bus. All other bus passengers, aged 16 and over will pay £6 cash per person at Parking Reception.
2. Parking Reception will also sort out changed or on-the-day entries (This will be a Motts vehicle - one of their Alexander ALX400 deckers).
Please note that if arriving after 1230h you will need to find your own way, using the site map, to your parking bay. Call by SHOWBUS Control if you have difficulty doing this or do not have a display number.
A reminder about the conditions for trading at SHOWBUS. All stalls arriving on board buses will be sited in a section adjacent to the main stall area see map. Your vehicle should have a display number (50-59) linked to the area. If this has not happened, let us know immediately.
Please help by following the pointers below:
- If possible arriving before 10.30h The gates open for exhibits at 0800h. The public are admitted later so to minimise conflict between visitors and moving vehicles arrive early or be extra careful if arriving after 0930h as visitors will be moving on site.
- Have your display number visible in the front screen before arrival
- Do not block the entrance by posing for photographers there is ample opportunity for photographs inside the site. Blocking the public highway is not appreciated by the police and can be a road hazard.
- Late entries, entries without paperwork and significantly changed entries need to report to Martin Isles at the Parking reception for allocation of an appropriate display place.
- When you park, the number on the ground on a yellow or gold block, should be positioned so that it is immediately below your cab window.
- Once parked, visit Showbus Control with your 'Judging Sheet' if you have one.
- Judging sheets should be handed in to Showbus Control as soon as possible. For entries received in the last three days before the event your Judging Sheet will be waiting at SHOWBUS Control, but you must report to Control so we know you are present and then it gets passed to the judges. There are always "no shows" and judges do not have time to waste looking for buses that aren't there!
- Please note that land line phone calls from 9.00am on Saturday 28th September will not be received by the team. Ideally SMS message, as emails will only be seen in the evenings.
