Clwyd Practical Classic Car
Show
12th July
2009
The club once again this year had a
stand at the Clwyd Practical Classics Charity Car Show,
which was held on Sunday 12th July at Barlow’s Caravan
Park, Caerwys.
Pat and I arrived just before 9.00am to find Peter
Williams already there with the club Easy-up, tables and
so on. Soon after Adam Clews turned up with Peters KA
rally car and between the four of us we managed to get
the Easy-up in place and secured to the ground. Members
started to arrive with their cars and by 10.30am all
where in place, Myf Owen having to scrounge a lift from
Derek Jones to go and pick up his second car, having
both his Avenger and his Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII Rally
Car on the Stand. Thankfully the weather stayed dry for
the day, which made it more enjoyable.
We had a good variety of cars on the
stand, from Classics to full spec rally cars and even a
Willis Jeep thanks to Dave and Lyn Barnes talking Lyn’s
dad into bringing his. Unfortunately some cars where
still in the Isle of Man as they had competed on the
Manx Rally that weekend. Eddie Blackwell did manage to
get his Sierra to the show by catching the boat the
evening before, going straight from the last control of
the rally to the ferry with 10 minutes to spare. He did
bring some timber back with him as well but you need to
speak to Eddie or Gareth Pryce who was navigating for
him on the event to find out why (see Picture). As last
year we had a prize for best on stand, but to make sure
there was no favouritism I approached members of the
Capri Owners Club whose stand was next to ours and asked
them to decide. When they came back to me and said we
like the MG ZS, I thought everybody is going to think
this is a fix as the car belongs to my brother Derek,
but I assure you it wasn’t. Derek seemed a bit
embarrassed when I told him he had won, but if that’s
what the judges decide then that’s it. We had plenty of
visitors throughout the day with Pat plying them with
tea, coffee and doughnuts supplied by Dave Barnes (many
thanks Dave).
A big thank you to everyone who
turned up during the day who brought his or her cars
along and helped out, it made for a great club day out.
