This years show on September 3rd was another resounding success and a credit to the organisers. As we
have come to expect the turn out of both vehicles and visitors was high and even the weather behaved.

 

The turnout of motorcycles was also very high, the exhibits seem to grow year on year or is that just my imagination?

 

All the the photographs were taken by me and are in no particular order. Some have information passed on by the owners.
If there is some information you wish to add or have removed, or correct any errors I have made please contact me.
