THE LYDIATE CLASSIC CAR SHOW - SUNDAY 7TH JULY 2024
(Report by our Chairperson - Dorothy Cottriall)
The show this year was held by the new organisers on behalf of Northwest Cancer Research. On Sunday 7th July, 2024 West Lancashire MG Owners Club were represented at the Show with a total of 13 cars and 17 Club members as follows:-
2 MG RV 8’s : 2 MGA’s : 3 MGTF’s 1 MGF : 1 MGF Trophy : 1 Triumph TR3A:
2 MGB GT’s : 1 MGB Roadster.
The morning treated us to some light rain, the remedy for which was to “get the Gazebo up” and we had shelter from the elements immediately. Fortunately by 11:30am the rain stopped and we had sunshine for the rest of the afternoon.
Our Stand with 13 cars on display provided a commendable display for the paying public who arrived in good numbers during the afternoon.
The Organisers put on an excellent show with a variety of Classic cars and Motor bikes
Including VW’s, Morris Minors, Stock cars and a selection of Army Vehicles.
The new Organisers had staged a fitting tribute to the Late Mrs Lesley Blundell, the previous Organiser of this event for the last 15 years, in the Local Parish Hall in her memory.
The Parish Hall also provided an admirable facility for a Tombola and Bric a Brac stalls together with a plentiful supply of refreshments including bacon barms, sandwiches and cakes and drinks. During the afternoon the Ice Cream Van came on site and did a roaring trade.
The event was held in aid of Northwest Cancer Research with entrance by donation as well as donations from the day’s proceedings and was supported by many volunteers.
The day proved to be an enjoyable one for everyone. Photos below
