This year the Glamorgan Classic car club held there show at Aberdare Park in the Gadlys. Five cars met at the Crown pub at Pontllanfraith near Blackwood. We left just after nine and the weather was cloudy but not raining - this never lasted long and before you knew it, it was tipping down. When we arrived we could see that the cars were being lined up on the path in the park, right beside the grass - this was good because if we had parked on the grass I don’t think we would get off again.

We put the gazebo up in record time and were soon drinking tea or coffee. There were other members who turned up as well so we ended up with eight cars. The park has good potential - plenty of room, a big pond, and good views. The Children went to see the ducks, the girls went to town to spend some money and then went onto the pub to watch the F1. They even came back and started to tell us what happened much to the annoyance of the members who were taping the event.

The rain was on and off for most of the day and it was not very warm. This could be said for most of the shows this year, but it was a good turnout and the organiser of the show was pleased with the turn out if not a little surprised because of the weather. I think we left at about 3.00pm feeling that this had been a good day, but could have been better.
