Get Ready! Classics Over Sands 2025 Entries Start Late March
A big thank you to all our entrants over the years for supporting Classics over Sands, we will be open for entries from late March. Following feedback from entrants after last year’s show, we’ll be making a few changes. Our recent events have seen modern classics as well as truly historic vehicles enter the show. For 2025 we have implemented a 25 year rule on entries, so will accept vehicles up to and including those registered in 2000. We’ll also be looking at catering options and field layout.
Given the increasing costs of running the show, particularly insurance, licenses etc, we are increasing the entrance fee for cars registering to £7.50, which includes, car, driver and one passenger. Entrants also receive our colour brochure, with up to date list of cars entered.
We will be open for entries from LATE MARCH, If you are registered on our mailing list, we will let you know the exact date entries will open.
Charity donations from Classics over Sands
Derek Seward, our Chairman. presented a cheque for £3500 to Coniston Mountain rescue last week. We also presented a cheque to Coeliac UK for a similar amount, this is alongside donations to our local Scout Group and Cumbrian Wildlife Trust.
Huge thank you to all our supporters, volunteers & entrants for making the show such a success.
Best show ever
Thank you for your support of Classics over sands this year, with rain before and after the show, we were blessed with fantastic weather on Show Day. With over 300 classics, the crowds literally burst onto the show field in record numbers. Importantly we raised a record £8,500 for Charity, with Coeliac UK and Coniston Mountain Rescue receiving £3,500 each and the local Scouts and Cumbria wildlife sharing a further £1,500.
We have already announced the date of next year’s show as Sunday August 10th, 2025.
You may not be aware, but the show is put together by a small group of volunteers (all classic vehicle fans), this year we really needed a little more help! We are looking for volunteers to help on or around the show day, or even for specific parts of the day, such as helping with taking down the numerous marquees, the odd hour or two could make a big difference. If this is something you feel you could help with, please drop a note to me on classicsoversands.org@gmail.com , together with your contact details.
Once again, a huge thank you for your support.
