The show was set up at 1500hrs on the Saturday and some of the foolish in the club stayed over night. The weather on the day of the show started with a few showers, which must have put some people off coming, but it was a good turnout with about 120 cars.

The show was opened by the Deputy Mayor Mr Cllr Anthony Easson. The public drifted in slowly at first but got busier after lunch. The auto jumble was there and seemed to be doing a good trade, as it was always crowded when I looked. This year’s charity was the British heart foundation (BHF) and there were some representatives from the BHF with there own stall giving advice and selling tee shirts. There were some amazing cars at the show and everybody was very friendly.

The winners of the best cars were as follows

   1st   MGYA     MR. WILLIAMS

   2nd  TALBOT   MR B. CAMBELL     

   3rd   MGB       MR PHIL WILLIAMS 

The castle was open so I managed to get a few photo from the top, some from the Salsa dancers from the MiSalsa dance Company who put on two shows and allowed the public to join in. It was like a kind of Cuban line dancing but everybody had a good time, but the dancers were doing Bachata, Kizomba and a few more.

We have not worked out how much we collected for the BHF but we will let everybody know when it is sorted.  Fordthorne Cardiff brought the new MG6 and it was a good opportunity to have a look at the car, I would like to see it on Top Gear. Our Ambulance crew joined in the fun and one even had her face painted like a tiger. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Barclays Bank, Unity Mine and all of our other sponsors for their continuing support of our show.

It was good to see the young children running around looking for the teddies that were hidden in our find the teddy competition. The music at the show was a real highlight and the DJ did a very good job making all the announcements. Lastly I would like to thank everybody who turned out with there cars who made the show possible. 

The total raised for the BHF was £1400. A big thank you to everyone who participated.
