The event is a celebration
of motoring through the last hundred years, the highlight of which is a
‘closed road’ parade around the village. The 2008 event attracted over 150
vehicles, including some very beautiful and rare examples. Visitors had the pleasure of seeing the
vehicles parade the 2.7mile closed roads of the village. This, combined with
the static display, proved to be a unique event that attracted a great number
of people. The 2009 event will follow
a similar format with exhibitors being invited to display their vehicles in
the playing field from 11.00am, before embarking on the parade of the village
perimeter through open countryside. Following
the parade the vehicles will re-assemble on the playing field providing an
opportunity to enjoy the rest of the event. The wider event consists
of an evening's entertainment, bands and refreshments in the Village Hall on
the evening of Saturday June 20th. On
the Sunday, supporting the motoring display and parade, there will be a
village Gala with a variety of stalls, traders and other activities to create
a family orientated and inclusive event. We hope to be able to
reflect the past 100 years of motoring history by showing examples from as
many years as possible between 1909, or earlier, and 2009. The event is open to cars, motorcycles,
light commercial and light agricultural vehicles, and possibly steam. Please note that in order to participate in
the closed-roads parade the vehicle must be 'road legal'. Entry to the event and
parade will cost £5 and will include a commemorative plaque and an event
programme. The programme will, where
possible, include a photograph of the vehicle and additional information
including specification and year of registration. (Please include with entry form.) Further information is
available on this web site, or alternatively, telephone 01234 381466. The
closing date for receiving entries is Monday June 1st 2009. |
