Bar b Qs, tombola stalls, chocolate and fudge stall, ice cream from good old fashion Grannelies, (I am now a little fatter), Model replica toy car stall, several charity stalls, children’s fair ground rides, live music and intermittent sunshine, what more do you want? A fantastic display of owls were at the side of the Hare & Hounds Club stand, and even if you are not into this type of thing, it was an incredible display were you could if you wished interact with the different breeds of owls. (Bye the way this was free). This show is an all weather show because the standing for the cars is a hard stand. So there are no worries if it rains. What more can I say

Glad I went. Mike

Thanks to the judges for my awards I feel that all my work on my cars as paid off and been rewarded. I know judging can not be easy with so many wonderful cars on display.

Thanks Mike

This was a great venue, a two-day show with cars pre 1983 on the Saturday and cars pre 1967 on the Sunday. Even though the weather was dreadful on the Saturday the turnout was fantastic. A great collection of cars and a very friendly event. On the Sunday this was the best show I have seen for variety in the last 5 years. There were an incredible selection of cars; I counted 39 Pre 1930s and over 43 pre 1945s. The selection and variety of cars was unbelievable at one show. From concourse and museum standard to the people that looked like they were still rebuilding there dream car. The town was like stepping back in time with canal barges travelling along the side of the show ground, and antiques fair on in the main shopping area. The streets were throbbing with people, and the show ground was busy from the start of the day till well after 4:30pm. If you have never done this show it is well worth considering. If you don’t want to show your car it is well worth a visit. May I suggest you put the date in your diary for next year. The contact is the Rotary Club Hebden Bridge tel David bell 01422842597: www.hebdenbridge-vintageweekend.org.uk or you can e-mail at: mail@hebdenbridge-vintageweekend .org.uk

Food was great for mobile food. Pizza van, Crepe stall, extra fattening Donuts with toffee sauce, all was different not the usual burger van or bacon roll.

A great selection of cars on display. One of the highlights was a Jazz Band that visited the H&H stand and stayed for at least half an hour playing some good old tunes. Those of you who did not come you missed a car show with a difference, we are so glad we went it is well worth a visit.

His place is in Droylsden near tesco.

I know we can’t plan the weather but I think all those that turned out had a lovely run. Thanks once again to the club

I have just returned from a trip to Ireland with my two cars. This is the second year that I have attended the Gordon Bennett Run. I suppose we have been lucky with the weather. The last two years have been incredible weather so this makes the trip even more worthwhile.

If you have never been on this run it is well worth a trip. It is over three days with three different organised runs around the countryside of Ireland stopping for photo shoots and picnics. It is extremely well organised.

I initially went with the TVVCCC. But this year I booked and went under my own steam. It is not a cheap trip but it as most certainly been worth the cost and the time.

I am happy if the Hare and Hounds Club approves to arrange a trip for next year 2010 if any members would like to go.

I have found a super guesthouse there are hotels for those who prefer, but this guesthouse is fantastic with incredible Irish hospitality.

The costs for the trip are Ferry around £175, the fees for the Gordon Bennett Run £15. Dinner and dance on second night £25 (This is an optional extra) Guesthouse £30 per person per night including a good Irish breakfast. The total cost is around £550 for two people for 5days. Leaving Thursday getting back Tuesday the first weekend in June. I will bring up with the club and if they approve I will make some arrangements for next year.

Thanks Mike

Apparently this was the first show organised by the Glossop Manor Park committee. It was a fantastic setting but not very well attended. Thanks to H&H CVC members who turned out with their cars and who out numbered the other entire car enthusiast put together. I counted 22 cars and 5 commercials. The weather was wet, dry, wet, dry, but it did not deter the harden enthusiast, who were given the pleasure of a free cuppa and the sound of the local school brass band; who turned out to play for the day.

After speaking with the organisers they are hoping to make this an annual event, lets hope they do and hopefully next year they will be more organised and will be able to attract more car enthusiast and also more of the general public.

I wasn’t sure what to expect but this was a great day and the weather was extremely kind to us. Thousands of people and a great atmosphere. Even if you are not interested in bikes there is plenty to do and to see. I think it would be great if the club could put on a show at this event. Whilst the seven or eight of us that turned out to assist and displayed our cars there were lots of interest. Thanks for the opportunity and thanks for the excellent company great day out.

Regards Mike

Thanks for a fabulous day and what a great place to visit. It is the first time we have been with the H&H Club on Drive it Day and I hope it won’t be the last. From the start with a great scenic run planned to end up back in time, (Well it felt like it) The atmosphere was great and the time capsule felt very real. The Spitfire singers the costumes the décor was like TV / Film Set, well done to all concerned; my only criticism is against myself for not taking part and dressing in period costume.

Thanks to the organisers and to all concerned at H&H.

Regards Mike & Shaun

1. Does the club have a limit on the numbers it can have

2. Are we liable if we go posting flyers on car windscreens

3. Is it classed as fly posting and is it legal to do so.

If these questions can be answered and it is ok to put out the flyers I am willing.

Thanks Mike

Chris

Thanks to all concerned
