Hi all,
What a wet month June has been! Hopefully you have all been “OK” and not flooded out. Well with a bit of luck, July may change all that and give us some sun for the remaining part of the year.
Just to let you all know, its Lions day the coming Sunday (8th July).
1. Well the priority for this month now shifts to
Lions Day on wheels show. This is a regular event held up at the Bowring
recreation park in Wellington. The day starts with a cavalcade from the
Wellington swimming baths at 9.30 Am.
Things to
sort:
1. I have
filled in the applications form for us to al attend if we are able to attend on
the day.
2. There is
no entry fee to display, but if you arrive after 10.AM an entry fee may be
applicable.
3. The
location is the Bowring Recreation Park off Herbert Avenue, Wellington. The A5
runs past it and so does Haygate road, but you must enter through the Herbert
Avenue entry by the cricket pavilion.
4. If I can
have confirmed number for attendance for Sunday then I will know which Gazeebo
to bring.
5. We have
some Literature to hand out to public and hopefully you have some to put inside
your car already from the Weston Park show earlier this year.
Background.
The show is
held on 1 day on an open field with a flat grassed area. The flat area is given
to trade stands, club displays & a display arena. Surrounding the area are
normally steam driven devices such as steam engines, scale steam tractors etc.
There are refreshment stalls, craft stalls, donkey rides, a fun fair, live
displays, live music & toilets etc. Cars are invited to participate in a
cavalcade tour of the town to promote the show and this is only done at the
start of the day due to the logistics of such. All cars must be on site by 10AM
opening.
2. Here is a quick summary for shows for the next couple of Months. I have highlighted some that we may attend from our conversations last month.
