Went to the cars on the green event yesterday and came away very impressed. Held in Nowton park in bury st Edmunds, this event is free to enter and to attend with a suggested voluntary donation of a quid for the public car park. With it being free and seven or eight hundred cars booked to attend you can imagine how busy it was.

Set in a large public park with cars lined up amongst the trees, it was subtly marshalled with ample facilities and most of the cars were privately entered rather than with clubs so they were mixed up so you were likely see a mini next to a corvette. A lot of the cars were modified rather than concours which I find more interesting not being a bolt counter.

All money raised goes to charity, put it in your diary for next year. Thanks to Martin pidd for organising our entries

Reading Kevin's report on "Cars on the Green" reminded me of the annual Lichfield event "Cars in the Park" which occurs this year on 4th and 5th July, Link here:

No entry fee, no registration/booking needed, just turn up on the day (unless going as part of a club).

Just a heads up for next weekend. Late notice but only just found out about it (thanks Pete Lee). Have e-mailed the organisers to see if kit cars are treated as exhibitors (free entrance?) or just as normal.

I'm still away but if the weather is good it should be a good show. If anyone does go I would be interested to know if it worth including on the calendar for next year.

I will still be out of the country and can't attend but for those in need of a meet, don't forget "HorsePower at the Hall" - Doddington Hall, near Lincoln. Sunday July 12th at 14:00

For some reason they have moved from Saturday mornings (09:00-12:00) to Sunday afternoons (14:00-17:00), maybe they were sick of the weather always being poor on Saturdays I quite liked having the morning session and then a pub lunch but I guess we can have a pub lunch and then go to the meet. At least I won't have to get up at 07:30 now !!

If anyone wants to go as a Group, let me know on here and I will make the arrangements.

And if any other Lincolnshire member wants to arrange something as well.......

Sorry for the short notice.

Poole Quay this Friday evening 3rd July --all open top cars -- free parking right by the water --hundreds of cars to view.

Shout if you wish to meet up.

We shall arrive just after 6 -- weather permitting

Organised by the MG Car Club, this is the biggest car event in the North East with 800 classic and kit cars entered, well worth a day out. Look forward to seeing you there.
