The Bristol group stand started on Saturday with Bob Richardson and myself erecting the club gazebo in high winds-we managed it after some head scratching, and fighting with the top which was trying to head for Yeovil in the wind. After viewing our handiwork we found the door was on the wrong side, but decided to leave it as it was.

It was a relief to find the gazebo still in place on Sunday morning. A few last minute adjustments were made before the cars started to arrive. We had Colin Powells Australian bodied 1927 V4 tourer, Len Barrs 1935 Ten saloon, Dennis and Sheila Browns Flying12, Mike and Marlene Dukes Flying12, Chris and Pam Goods Flying 8, Bob and Vals Avon 10 Tourer, the Kingstons Vanguard and Richard Bradleys 1955 Ten saloon.

The show itself had over 700 cars in attendance including some fine veterans with a Maudsley among their number. (manufactured by Reginald Maudsleys cousin). Also on show and for sale was the extremely rare Raymond Mays V8 which was sold at auction earlier this year.

We spent a pleasant day in the beautiful surroundings, much of the time in bright sunshine. My thanks to all the car owners and all those who helped dismantle the stand, in particular Bob Richardson who also helped erect it on Saturday.
