Festive fun at Bracknell

After Novembers great meeting, hopes were high for the Christmas one, with the offer of Mulled Wine and nibbles it was a meet not to be missed. Rolling in to the car park, rain hammering down were weren't convinced. But over 20 LTV cars and vans and almost 15 from the local water cooled club, Berkshire Dubbers, it was amazing and proof that good advertising and some positive input from a motivated team really does work.

Under the club gazebo a pair of tables heaved with mulled wine, mincepies, cakes and savoury snacks, perfect for a chilly afternoon.

Once again there was a really good mix of old and new, air and water.

With yet more rain and the fact it was really cold by now we headed home. From a really poor start in January, through some lean months the Bracknell meet has finally turned the corner. Two great and well attended meets in a row, roll on 2012, lets keep this going.

  1. I must report an inaccuracy within your blog.

    That was in fact the car parking area reserved for special guests and vehicles of importance. Did you not see the sign at the entrance to said parking area?

    :-p
