The 2006 Pencoed Show
(A report from our Chairman - John James)
Congratulations to everyone
that helped with our Annual Classic Car Show on 7th May.
It has to have been the best ever ! Or so I'm told. (I always
say that the one show that I would dearly like to walk around
is our show, but unfortunately I never get the opportunity).
I have received many positive remarks / comments re. the
show both on the day and afterwards; it appears that we
are hitting the right spot, but it does seem to be getting
harder each year.
We were once again blessed
with good weather considering the rain on the Saturday evening
and again on the Sunday evening. Our treasurer John Miles
also tells us that it is probably the most successful show
financially & is busy paying the bills; I'm sure we
will have some final figures from John very soon.
Many thanks once again
to all who helped in whatever capacity. A special mention
I feel must go to Alan Davies for helping me with lots of
work on the Friday before & the Monday after and of
course the Saturday and Sunday from very early until about
9pm. Another special mention must go to David Taylor, Nigel's
son; David is not even a club member but worked with us
all tirelessly on the Saturday and Sunday, well done guys.
It was good to see Derek
and Pat Farr again at our show. They presented a new Trophy
to the club and on the day of the show decided to award
it to the 'Best Supportive Female.' This year they suggested
it be award to Janet, who I must say gives me 100% support
! Many thanks Derek and Pat for donating such a fine Trophy
and deciding on such a worthy catagory, of course, this
is to be awarded annually.
