Default Calne National Meet - Review

The 10th National Meet Sunday 6th March 2011



The Atwell-Wilson Motor Museum established in 1962 played host to the club's first national get together of 2011.





This was a lovely venue in which to meet and offered a wide selection of classic exhibits from yester-year.



The day began with the arrival of the Club team at 9:15am to get things set for the official opening time of 10:30am.
To say it was a bit nippy would have been the understatement of the year, but the sun was out, and we could ask for no more.








After parking the team's cars up and assembling the brand new gazebo (as the last one fell foal to 'Typhoon Gaydon')
Work began on erecting the various flags and signs to tell of our presence.



No sooner had this begun when some of the early bird members started to arrive
and put Actros, Dragrad, and Jake amongst others through their paces.



The place soon filled up and we had a total of 59 cars, and 88 people in attendance.







Plenty of tourers were there too





There were cars in a variety of colours including Trophy Blue and Solar Red



as well as a 'Flying Banana' no less...well actually a Sunspot Monogram ZT



No it's not a karaoke, but me conducting the raffle, much to the bemusement of Christopher and Parker



Actros took on the role of 'official bucket holder'



Then came the award for best car in show and it went this year to Cliff (Teflon)





With his pristine example of a very well maintained 75 Connoisseur in Monogram Lagoon



The day continued until it was time to pack away, and by 5pm the last men standing finally went their separate ways,
my thanks to Neil Coupland for staying to the bitter end.




Many thanks also to all those who made this event the great day it was, and to CMWI and others for the use of these images.
