As far as I know the show is on both days but the main judging etc and prizes would still be on Sunday but anyone can go to either or both
So...dumb question on a Friday evening...why is it on for the whole weekend, and not just the Sunday? If Sunday is the main day, why would you go for the Saturday as well? I can't find an agenda for the weekend - or is it not that kind of event? - I've been once, but can't remember (only went for a day, admittedly..)

This is the first time its been on for 2 days. I guess it was felt as people were going and in some cases camping, that many would like to make a weekend of it. The main day would be Sunday I guess because any judging now takes place over both days but I cant imagine that trophies would be awarded until Sunday.
There is a show and shine and club stands and trade stands, and the event is at a leisure venue so I imagine it will be a pretty relaxed affair, but it certainly is the biggest gathering of Audis anywhere in the UK each year.

If you have any questions I would direct them via the website or their facebook page though as I have been in Germany last year and will be again this year so I cant really comment with much up to date info!

Join the crowd at AudiSRS if there's only a few of you, that will be my starting point. They don't bite!

....well, some do Andrew, but I'm sure you'd all be made most welcome if you don't have your own stand.

Also as I have gone to the trouble of registering us for advance tickets and Calvin has reserved a space for us separately of others I would prefer it if we could stay as our own group!!
