The September 2015 Gathering

Written by  on October 28, 2015 

The September Gathering was the last one of the year and this is our shortest event as it starts to get dark quite early. Notwithstanding that, and the usual late arrival of most gatherers, we had a good turn out and as we expected, numbers were down. Having said that, we had some great vehicles on display, and what is very pleasing is that we still attract gatherers who have not been before, so you must be putting a good word out for us amongst your friends – Thank You!

 

We had a nice mix of classic cars attend, some old favourites and regulars, and some we had not seen before. We were treated to, amongst others, a beautiful red soft top Mercedes, a yellow 2CV Citroen van (in great condition), a lovely Austin 10/4 convertible, Alpha Romeos, Aston Martin, several Land/Range Rovers, a smart light blue Bentley, a Ford Zephyr, a Ferrari and many more old favourites. There were also 3 E-type Jaguars on display. Around 60 classic vehicles were on display.

 

In the motorcycle park, we had some nice machines, including a return of the Rudge 500cc Sports Special, a Honda CB500-4, 2 BSA A10 650cc twins, several BSA singles, Triumph Bonneville’s, a Suzuki T500 2 stroke twin, and a couple of Harley Davidsons – to name a few. In all there were over 40 motorcycles of all ages present.

 

The next Gathering is on 19th May 2016 so please make a note in your diary – and bring a friend. Our success is down to the gatherers who generously attend and participate in the spirit of the event – that’s you! We thank you and hope you will continue to support us – after all we do it solely to support our local Air Ambulance. Thanks must go to those who organise the event (Gilbert, Roly, Debbie, Mike and Martin); those who help on the days (Brian K, Janet T, Sue B, Thomas, Malcolm and Bill); the raffle coordinator (Loreen); sustenance providers (Andy and his team); the cakes and drinks ladies (Carol F, Maureen H, Ros M, Pat K and all who donated cakes), the bar staff, Richard Greig for cutting the grass for us, and anyone else who I may have forgotten (Sorry!) – all of whom make the event the success it is. We know that we have made a significant increase in the amount raised for the Air Ambulance, and we shall publish details on the webiste of how much along with a picture of the cheque presentation once we have it all organised.

Once again, thanks to all the gatherers – see you in 2016. Let’s make 2016 more fun, and raise even more for the Air Ambulance.
