What a show!! First thanks must go to Joe Keenan the organiser of the event. His hospitality was second to none, great pitch, Saturday afternoon cruise to Moate and back via "The Well Pub" (only one and I was a passenger), free barbecue (feeding the five thousand and Ben), movies (smokie and the bandit and convoy), bonfire, music and a place to sleep. And that was only Saturday!! Sunday his staff and himself ran a great car show, we will be back next year and needing more space. Thanks again Joe.
IKCC catering services were supplied by Damo and his able KP Ray. Once again lads you outdid yourselves. Next year we will be going for our first star!! Thanks also to Pat for suppling the meat.
The able construction team of MaryRose, Ray, Derek, Dave, Clive, Charlie and site foreman (and camping coordinator) Ben can be proud of their erection skills. (Easy I mean the markee and tents).
Weather, what can I say. The Met Office have been on asking where I get my info, boy is that going to cost them
Last but by no means least are you guys. Without you and your cars we would not have had a great show and have a club where everyone feels welcome. Special thanks must go to our UKCC friends, what a great bunch. (When they come to town you have to hide the Whiskey). Bringing down 6 super cars and 15 members it really swelled our numbers and greatly added to the occasion. Thanks George and crew. Speaking of numbers, what a turn out 37 cars and several new members. Not a record (42 phoenix park 2007) but it bodes well for next year. Regular atendee Tommy Morrisey lost a sump plug on the way and had to abandon trip. Hope car is ok Tommy.
Ok it is time to reach around and clap yourselves on the back when you guys turn up it makes my life much easier running events. Many thanks to you all who made the effort and to those who wanted to come but could not. See you all again soon (I wont stop givingyou all grief sorry).
