Mike starts the day by raising the flag...
|
|
...and the cars started to arrive as early as 8 o'clock!
|
|
The numbers gradually grew during the morning as more and more cars arrived.
|
|
Thanks to the Kent Group for coming 'north of the river'...
|
|
.... and to Lea Valley ....
|
|
... and North London groups for venturing into darkest Essex!
|
|
Thanks too, to the MG Owners Club for their support.
|
|
As well as the cars there was an autojumble stall,...
|
|
and chances to show off your steady hand..
|
|
... or have a go at the coconut shy.
|
|
The Hog Roast was a great success
|
|
There were reduced rates for visitors to go round Ingatestone Hall..
|
|
..and see some tudor dancing.
|
|
Above all it was a day to laze around or catch up with old friends
|
|
It was such a hot day that finding a bit of shade was the priority..
|
|
... even for some of the cars!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally came the award of certificates
|
|
as decided by the votes of the people there.
|
|
And so the end of a very successful day. Dismantle the marquees, take down the stalls,
|
|
and get everything cleared away and the field back to normal....
|
|
....until next year!
