The August Gathering was yet again another good weather event and it attracted good numbers of vehicles and spectators (“gatherers”) alike. In fact we had as many cars through the gate as we did in July, and just a handful fewer bikes. An additional attraction in August was the “Motoring through the Ages” feature presented by David and Paul Bland of Greetham. This proved to be both interesting and popular with the gatherers and we are grateful to both David and Paul for putting this on and showing us the relevance of how things have changed over time.
Among the cars on display this time were an Aston Martin V8, 2 beautiful Singers from different times, 2 green and a blue VW Camper van, a purple Isetta bubble car, an AC, a Gilbern Invader estate, a nice Riley just to name a few. On the motorcycle front we had a BMW single cylinder, a BSA 250cc single that once lived in the village, a Spanish Montessa (don’t see too many of them these days), a nice Velocette single, Norton Commando and AJS twin, as well as a brace of Harley Davidsons. We also had a Dexta tractor, our village Routemaster bus and some military vehicles to round things off.
Another great Gathering and many thanks to all who attended.
