Just a quick nudge to let you all know that this event (the fifth) is happening again this year. Sunday 7th July, mid-day til 4pm for the car show. There is a 'tour' for road cars as well plus a pit-stop competition.
Iain Rowley is main organiser again (probably with more than a little input from our own Cirrus). As in past years, it'll be huge fun, I'll be attending in my Mustang (have taken the day off work, so the weather had better be good!), there'll be race cars a-plenty!

I've just checked out the website, but there's no info yet on this year's event. I suppose it's too much to hope that the Sharknose might be there again this year?

It's at Vanalloys Business Park, Stoke Row, Oxon RG9 5QW. Stoke Row is not far from Henley-on-Thames and Reading.

Could have been Stoke Row in Coventry or Peppard Common, no way telling from the website or anything posted here...

Sorry Bloggsworth, We are very near Peppard Common.I am afraid the web site has not been kept up too date.

A word to the wise... Sunday July 7th is the last day of Henley Royal Regatta so I would strongly recommend taking an alternative route to Stoke Row unless you fancy dodging a load of Champagne-soaked Hooray Henrys and Henriettas wobbling uncertainly up Hart Street.

lads, can I point you to : www.stokerowdvd.com , we've put it online in the last half an hour. It's a little DVD I have put together of the event, with the full approval of the organising committee, all the profits will go to this years' chosen charities; the Headway Group (stroke victims) and Gt.Ormond Street Hospital for Children. The DVD is only £6 inc. P&P, so please feel free to buy as many as you can, in fact, please pass the link on to all your classic car loving friends and don't worry if you are abroad, please order anyway. Thank you indeed.
