    Honest Jim's Cut-Price Beer Emporium

    Honest Jims Cut-Price Beer EmporiumAs you come in through the main gate, you'll notice a shifty-looking ex-pirate hawking slabs of beer from the back of a lorry. Don't worry, he's one of our's. For very little money, Honest Jim will sell you a slab of beer, which will save you the hassle of riding into town to buy it. As with all Stormin' products, all profit goes to MAG's fighting fund. This means that the more beer you drink, the more money you raise for a great cause! As a beer-enthusiast myself, I can honestly say that drinking beer for a great cause makes it taste all the better.

     

    Little Stevie & The Business - Saturday Iris Headline

    A very versatile band delivering awesome R & B, straightforward blues or upping the tempo with some popular 60’s and 70’s classics.

    Their performances are delivered by frontman, Mr.Entertainment ‘Little Stevie’ with great showmanship and some superb harmonica playing.

     

    The Hobgoblin Bar

    Bigger and better than the old Engine Bar, the Hobgoblin Bar made it's debut at Stormin' last year and was an instant hit. Housed in a 60' long marquee, it's got a solid floor, nice tables and chairs, funky decor and beer. Lots and lots of beer.

    Naturally, given the name of the venue, Wychwood Brewery beers are very much in evidence, but a wide range of other beers are available there, as are spirits and possibly even wine. I didn't actually look for wine, because i'm a bloke, therefore I only looked at beer and whisky. There is definitely beer and whisky for sale in the Hobgoblin bar.

    Due to popular demand, the Oil City Shakers will be performing again this year in the Hobgoblin Bar on Saturday afternoon. If you like foot-stomping blues, rock and roll, slide guitar, harmonica and gravelly-voiced vocals with your beer, then do yourselves a favour and stop in at the Hobgoblin Bar for a couple.

    As with all the booze sales at Stormin', the bar profits go to MAG, so you'll be drinking for the future of motorcycling!

  2. Donington Park Announcement

    Posted on

    ClassicShows are pleased to announce that following the great success of the Japanese and Modern Classic Bike Show at Donington Park in February this year, they have been able to secure a suitable second date for this show in the autumn after many years of trying.

    Over the years we have had lots of requests from clubs, private individuals and traders to do a repeat show in the autumn when the weather is likely to be a bit kinder than in the depths of winter and more bikes are out on the road. Accordingly we already have bookings from The Triumph Owners Motorcycle Club and UK 2 Strokes who will both be mounting displays of 20 or more motorcycles.

    They also have many trade bookings and fully expect the halls and outside stands at this popular East Midlands venue to be full to bursting on Sunday 28th September.
