Northern Modified will be holding its Monthly meet on Friday April 22nd at the usual place of Future Park Bacup OL13 0BB. The meets are very popular in the local car community bringing people from all around the area making the Northern Modified meets a top night enjoyed by everyone that attends. Its also a good chance for people to meet members from the site and put faces to the names, The meets are also a good chance to get any payements in for the up and coming events such as the Rolling Road day on May the 7th and also to get hold of some of the Northern-Modified merchanidise be it Hoddies,T shirts or stickers so come down and say hi its a freindly warm atmosphere where people will make you feel welcom.

Well that’s it the Show season has kicked off for the Northern-Modified team. The first port of call was the Manganelli Fast Show 2011 at Santa Pod

 As it was the first show of the season for the club we were very surprised in the support we got off our members going to the show with a excess of 50 members with a wide variety of cars the weekend turned out to be nonstop fun from beginning to end with a few people paying attention to the cars convoying on the way down as even then the members tried to make their cars stand out from the crowd
  Once camp was set up a few of the members decided to run the strip and taking advatage of the £25 unlimited RWYB down the 1/4 mile a few good times were knocked up with Chris's mk1 golf, Wizza's A3, Libs Honda Civic type R EP3 and Row's MK4 Astra Gsi. Once the strip was finished for the day the members had chance to relax have a few drinks and go to the rave tent and let their hair down
 Next day everyone was up bright and early a few nursing some sore heads but all keen for getting the cars ready for the show stand which turned out to look great with most of the cars having spec sheets which gave the chance fro the public to see how much work, money and time actually has gone into the cars that was showing

 Once the stand was set up everyone left the cars on stand and went to take a look around the show which was to be a great show and possibly best quality motors seen at the Fast show to date as seen in the pictures below and in the facebook gallery here and on the forum here

 So overall the weekend was a complete success with the members all enjoying themselves and giving them a weekend of fun and enjoyment to talk about long after the event.
 At this point me and the northern modified staff would like to say a big thanks to the members that came and showed there support it was much appreciated and hope the members will show the same amount of support throughout the year as we hope to attend as many shows as possible both with and without club stands please keep an eye on the forum to see what shows, meets, cruises and events Northern-Modified will be attending throughout the year.

Big thanks to everyone that came to the northern modified March Meet. Overall the night was a good night as per usual everyone was well behaved with no trouble, which is nothing new for the meets as people that have attended will know.
 The meet wasn’t our busiest to date but the car park was still full with a good turnout of Modified motors with it being the start of the show season we knew alot of the members would be getting the cars ready for Northern Modified first show of the season the fast show at Santa Pod which was to be a week later.
 The turnout of motors was a wide Varity of motors stretching from stanced out MX5's to jacked up Land rover Defenders just showing the wide range of motors the northern modified meets have come to attract over recent months

 With the show season approaching fast it also gave the Northern Modified promo Girls to get some practice in on their posing and pouting and was appreciated by the staff and members as it was a very cold night so the girls was brave for wearing their outfits in near arctic conditions so thanks for that girls
