Default The Fifth Anglo-Scottish Meet: 20th July 2014

The popularity of the Anglo-Scottish meet has surpassed all expectations in previous years, so, why change a winning formula! As such, I'm delighted to announce that we shall be holding the fifth annual meet, at Gretna, where we we hope to exceed the exceptional number of attendees that the event experienced last year!
The location is the Old Blacksmith's Shop, at Gretna Green, where we will have access to the grass parking area, which is usually allocated to caravans.
We shall be erecting a gazebo, and flags to show our presence, as ever.

As such, it is my pleasure to announce that the fifth 'Anglo-Scottish Meet' will be taking place at 12:00, on the Sunday, the 20th of July!

This is the second year that the 'Tam Leek (Rotrex) Memorial Trophy' will be presented to the best-presented car, as voted for by you all, so, get the polish out, and see what you can do! However, absolutely all 75s, and ZTs are very welcome, and we'd love to welcome members, both old and new!

The postcode for the meet is DG16 5EA










So, if you'd like to attend, just put your name down on the thread, and I shall add you to the list! Let's see if we can make this the biggest Anglo-Scottish meet yet! I've added everyone who has said that they will be attending, to the list, so far!

This brought back a great memory .

That caravan was being pulled by a 75 .

He must have been freaked out as 13 75/ZTs past him one at a time .
CLASSIC stuff.
