A wet and windy Gaydon!
Members and enthusiasts can see that some owners braved the horrendous rain to attend the event. On the day we achieved four J/Bs and an Austin 101. In the circumstances it is surely remarkable that four of the vehicles were driven to the event, with only XRH, the Star of the Show, being trailered – with good reason – all the way down from Hull.
Our thanks to:
Heather Sumner for supplying the commemorative mugs and presentation plaque…
Abi Pitcher for creating the XRH cake, which everyone reckoned looked fantastic and tasted really nice…
Bez Pitcher for baking the cakes for Abi to create with..
Tom Caren, Show Manager at the Heritage Motor Centre at Gaydon, who is confident that the show will be repeated next year!
Thanks also to all the Register members and J-type enthusiasts who helped turn the couple of hours of dry weather in the afternoon into a special occasion for Ken Cooke, who has owned XRH for 50 years.
