Car Shows
What lovely glorious sunny weather, but there are no car shows to attend.
July would have been Sherborne cars at the castle, and August would have been the annual MG garden party and picnic at Althelhampton House, so I thought I would find at pic from last years meet. Roll on next year. Last edited by Dallas; 1st August 2020 at 14:42.. |

Athelhampton House has been sold. So not sure whether the MGOC event is still on.
I知 not bothered about not many meets to attend, I知 happier pottering about in the garden.

Sad to say but it looks like this year is going to be a complete wash out as far as shows are concerned , these shows are some of the highlights of the year for me

I'm so jealous, so many of you guys attending shows, that's great news.
I've not heard of any down here in my neck of the woods. |

Beaulieu is in your neck of the woods, just over 340 mile round trip ride for me. Simply American is a Sunday only event, so I will go Sat and ride back Sunday after the show. Usually go for a bit of a joyride Saturday afternoon, and do over 400 miles. When I take part in the Hot Rod and Custom Show, I go Friday, and return Sunday after the show, and do around 500 miles. If American is your thing, tickets have to be pre booked online 」25.
https://www.beaulieu.co.uk/plan-your...ticket-prices/ 16th August I usually camp on site if it is a weekend event, but as the event is Sunday only, there is no camping in the grounds. The only camp site within 10 miles that is open is full, trebor is coming with, he managed to get the last twin room at Chilworth Manor just 18 miles from Beaulieu.
