Another fantastic meet and glorious weather, as always it's great to meet everyone and well done to Mark on the Tam Leek award
Also many thanks to Brian (Freebyrd) and John (Bluejon) for putting this all together so smoothly. It was a long journey, but well worth it...a glorious day. Oh the cars weren't bad either..

Thanks to Brian and John for organising this event, and thanks for everyone who brought their lovely cars - the variety of vehicles, their individual histories, and the general craic is wonderful. Even more enjoyable for the excellent venue, and the fine weather holding (just!). Next time, must remember my hat, chair and car's history. (4 careful owners + 1 careless)!

Thanks to all for a wonderful day. Well done to the organisers and to all who attended. There were some well presented show cars and well loved daily drivers. It was good to chat to everyone including those I have not seen since last year.

As we all know it was rather windy on the day and it has affected the audio badly, so much so I've used a music track over the cars on display.
