I.O.W classic car show
Once again we are travelling to the I of W sponsored by Wightlink Ferries crossing Portsmouth to Fishguard or Limington to Yarmouth. There are limited sponsored crossings so it’s on a first come basis.
Travel will be on the 17th September unless other crossing date requested in advance
The two shows are on Saturday the 18th September at Newport Quay and Sunday the 19th at Ryde seafront. This show is well attended by many car clubs and is one of the biggest displays of different model cars, including custom cars and bikes the club attends. Our accommodation once again is at Buntshill Barns Porchfield where our host Ken Shynn accommodates us splendidly allowing us to use a barn to put our cars at night.
The accommodation is self catering converted Barns with each bedroom having its own bathroom. To allow us to relax in the evenings and not worry about driving and finding suitable parking for the cars we have over the past few years dined in, having meals together in the larger of the Barns where we all contribute and produce our own specialties.!!!!! This has been a huge success over the years and made the whole visit good fun. The local Pub which is walking distance across the fields for the Barns is another option and a very enjoyable alternative last year.
We extend the weekend, and most stay until the Wednesday those wishing to do this will be given priority for accommodation at Buntshill. Our journey home will commence on Wednesday 22nd September after what I am sure will be a fun packed few days.
Many of you have all ready booked but if you have not and would like to take part in this very popular event please contact me. Please note Monday crossing is not available unless a supplement paid There is a show participation cost of £4 per person to the organizers in advance so please send a cheque payable to V. Bridges so I can book you in.
