Arrow Pride of Longbridge 2019 club's area video

A great day, pity it was so darn cold and the sun kept hiding.

I did pop back later especially to capture Gerry's Coupe in the sun however I made the fatal error of omitting to press the record button .

Left the event a lot early than I normally do, legs were starting to bother me and when the rain blew in before 2:00 pm that was enough for me.

It was good to see you Jim. The rain only lasted for a few minutes but it was cold, didn't matter though as we still had a brilliant time. Looking forward to next year already 🙂.

Steve.

It was my first visit there.
I was kind of hoping there would be a members "Hang out" tent/area. I stayed for quite a bit until my bladder was in greater need than waiting for the toilet queue :p

I know a lot of the same opinion Rich, certainly the event doesn't suit all but I love it for the people and cars that come to celebrate on the day.

Great to see you and Ross also Steve.

I guessed the rain hadn't stayed long as half an hour later I was driving along back in the sun, though I thought it best I left as I'd been on my legs since 8:00 and was getting a little weary.

Hi, it was good to meet you and have a chat
last year we weren't allowed in the park cos of all the rain at the time, so lined the streets, but the year before that we had a gazebo and flag representing the club.
as for bladder matters ..... coffbushescoff!
