October Lincolnshire Meeting

[alanrichey]

Just a reminder that the Lincolnshire Meeting for October is at the Corby Glen Sheep Fair (http://www.sheepfair.co.uk/) on Sunday October 5th. The organiser has confirmed the cars will be parked just at the edge of the village allowing us easy access for arrival and departure. Interestingly he says arrive early as they are expecting a lot of cars. Seems odd as there were only 5 there last year (including me). But I would suggest you arrive and depart when you feel like.

 

Full details nearer the date, but can I get an idea of numbers please to pass to the organiser. So far it's

Now the National Meet is over, it's time to look forward to next Sunday (5th Oct) for the Lincolnshire October meet. Here's hoping the weather remains nice. Only got 5 'positives so far but as usual all are welcome on the day.

 

The organiser of the Castle Bytham Sheep Fair has confirmed we will be parking on the grass around the War Memorial. The Sheep Fair runs from 10:00 till 16:00 but we will have free access to arrive and leave when we wish.

 

Here is a map of the area with a blow-up of the parking area. The Red Star is the war memorial.

 

 

Whichever direction you arrive from you need to turn into the High Street leading to the village (NOT Tanners Lane) next to the fun fair. From the A1 it's a 30 deg left turn, from Bourne it is a 150 deg right turn. You will see all the cars on your right. After 100yds or so you will see a dropped pavement to allow you entry to the grass area, park where you feel like.

 

Any questions let me know.

I should be there too, so long as it 's not raining!

[alanrichey]

Looks like I might have cracked the weather yet again Won't be warm but no rain. I am going to rock up about 09:45 to be in position for the start, but come along whenever you want.

 

Still showing just 4 so far (+Kerry as a possible), anyone else going to come ?

[Derek]

Sorry cannot make this one Alan, we are visiting friends for the afternoon.

[Guest mower man]

Ninja mick will be there around 10.30

[Kerry]

Hi Alan, sorry I will not be able to make your meeting

[Guest mower man]

Thanks Alan really good meet , old freinds and new, great cars and weather and a cracking location ,invited for next year too mick

[alanrichey]

Yes, cracking day, lots to see and perfect weather again (It can't last ). Finished up with 5 hoods and Mick's new Mazda, plus about another 40 classic cars, not bad for a tiny village. And a near perfect overflight by the BBMF Dakota, I think he lined up on my car ).

 

So many thanks to all who supported it.

 

Al.

Many thanks Al for another amazing event. Your organizing of the weather is spectacular. It was great to see existing members and meet new faces. It was very nice how the show organiser came and talked to us and he hoped that we would be back next year.
