17th Club Meet - Bowes Museum, County Durham:
September 2014

The second National meet of 2014 was held on Sunday 28th September 2014 at The Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle, Co. Durham.



Set in impressive surroundings the museum has some extremely interesting items within its portals, but the highlight of any tour must be the Silver Swan.



Far from being a static exhibit, the Silver Swan is an early example of an automaton and beneath the life size exterior is a complex mechanical device that controls all the swan's movements, linked to a music box.





Well in excess of 40 cars attended and in all honesty looked in place parked in pride of place outside the house.



Sworks came with his rather nice R8 Coupe.



Yella Fella's ZT was sporting a rather appropriate label.



Many travelled some distance to attend but special mention should be made of Eric Druyts, who journeyed from Belgium, bringing his rather aptly registered Rover 75.

After a visit to the museum many members tucked in to a traditional cream tea.

During the afternoon members placed their votes for the cars, these were in various categories, the event came to a close with an awards ceremony with rosettes being presented to the oweners.



The first place in the three major categories was presented to;

Ssizefive



For his Rover 75, best in Rover 75 class

Ricardo65



For his MG ZT, best in MG ZT class

AldoR



For his MG ZT260, best in Modified class
