Gloucestershire Vintage & County Extravaganza 2023 August 4th 5th 6th

We were back again, to what has become a regular and one
of the most prominent Branch displays, we attend. The
weather which was threatening to turn the whole massive
site into mud fest did not materialise. Some activities were
cancelled but nothing to spoil the show. Our Branch Team
was the same as previous years. Colin & Marlene, Malcolm &
Pam, Dave & Joan Catton, John & Maggs. Our Son Jamie and
his family were all involved, especially when the wind was
trying it`s best to lift our marquee, something we have
become accustomed to this year. I took my trusty oily rag ES2
around the show ring, while the shiny ones watched on. Can
we thank fellow Branch Members Debz & Scruff,( Gloster
Meteors,) for all their assistance during the whole weekend.
Colin finished the weekend with is usual fire up which always
brings a crowd.

Fish and Chip Run 3/7/23

The Fish & Chip run is always well attended and it was, but this year was special, as on the menu wasn’t just Cod & Chips. We had a surprise visit from our good friend and long-time Glos Branch member Maurice Cox, it was so good to see him in fine fettle.

 

Prescott Hill Climb 25/6/23

This years Prescott Hill Climb enjoyed fabulous weather and the Branch enjoyed a prominent position by the start line as before.

All of this does not happen without our set up team, so Colin, Malcolm and (Pam on wheels), great work team.

We managed another good display so thanks to all involved.

Easter Egg Run 8/4/23

Debz & Scruff of Gloucester Meteors fame, had invited us to take part in the annual run to Acorns the Children’s Hospice this year. Along with supporting the run, with Colin & Mike a total of £85 was donated by the Glos Branch alone, with the total ending up to be over £1200 inc all the groups.
