General View of the Club's stand at Killerton

Local members of the Devon and Cornwall Group of the Standard Motor Club also tend to belong to the Devon Vintage Car Club so when we arranged our stand for the Killerton show we asked if we could put our cars beside the DVCC stand.

This proved to be an excellent idea as we were able to put up the modified tent/gazebo lent by Lynda and David Swallow between both the allocated area’s and share all facilities for tea and coffee, giving us an excellent area for members of both clubs to meet.

Tea and coffee was available throughout the day for members of both clubs, with cakes and biscuits donated by club members. Daniel Skinner also surprised us with a couple of tray bakes which went down really well.

Both clubs had excellent displays of vehicles with a wide variety of cars from the Devon Vintage Club Club and eleven Standards on display.

Thanks go to the following members for bringing their cars and helping to make the day such a success. Thanks also go to Lynda and David for their 5mtr x 4mtr tent which was full for much of the day!!
