Do you need to be a vboa member to attend this or can you just turn up?

Do you need to be a vboa member to attend this or can you just turn up?

Strictly speaking yes but no membership cards are checked and anyway we can soon enroll you in the Opel Manta OC !! anyone who is a member of a Constitute Club is a VBOA member as well.

Dame, was going to come along, but forgot all about it.

If it was anything like 2006 then I'm sure it was a great day.
