Copt Oak, Leicestershire 3-5 September 2004
I arrived late on Friday night to find the site was
already filling well. The site was advertised as being back to basics,
but it didn’t seem to have put off many, for with the light of Saturday
morning, it was clear that we were in for a hot spell of weather, and a
good turnout of cars and their owners.
The run on Saturday of almost 60 miles was well thought
out, with small groups doing the circuit, instead of the more usual
start stop of a large convoy. The directions were written in a simple
series of drawings, which I found easy to follow even without a
passenger.
Saturday evening was spent with friends new and old,
with entertainment being provided in the on site club room. Sunday the
cars were lined up in their respective places, with more day visitors
arriving. The site was very full, but all managed to get in . The
collection of vehicles was impressive, with a good variety of different
machines. There was also a good selection of autojumble, which allowed
most of us to get our hands oily, and purchase that illusive part. The
weather was superb, hard to complain that it’s too hot in this country,
the ice-cream seller wasn’t complaining anyway.
After the prize giving it was time for me to leave, 200
miles more in the Trojan. An excellent weekend for which we must thank
John Lee, and Grant Kearney, and all those involved in organising this
event.
