Motor Show has a wheely good day out
THE BERKSHIRE Motor Show has raced past for another year with an assortment of classic cars and attractions.
This years show saw the return of a number of car categories and clubs, including the 4x4 without a club, the Rg Cruisers, Middlesex County Automobile Club, the Craven Motor Club, and the Berkshire Street Cruisers.
A number of classic cars were put on display, with enthusiasts able to see historical models such as the 1962 Mercury Monterey, a 1954 MG Model TF, a Morris 8 Series E, and a New York Taxi Cab.
It also put on displays by the South Central Ambulance Service, Red Watch Fire Brigade, and the Wolves of Midgard, as well as a rally car tribute to Colin McRae.
Musical performances were provided by Omari Johnson-Daley, and Matthew Allman.
It also saw a brand new dog show, with pets competing for best puppy, best rescue, most handsome, best trick, and dog most like its owner.
Rosettes were awarded to pooches in first, second, third, and fourth place.
Event founder Steph Awbery said: “It was the busiest show we’ve had yet, and the marshals did their utmost to make sure it all went smoothly.”
“Whitley fire service and the Red Watch put on some fantastic displays, including a demonstration of cutting up a car, which was fabulous.” Ms Awbery was joined by Gareth Monks of WLMG car dealership to present awards to the winning motors in each category.
“It was lovely to present the awards for the car winners with Gareth, too– everyone was shocked when they saw the winners’ cards on their windscreens.”
With the show over for another year, Ms Awbery said that she’s not making a start on next year’s event just yet.
“There’s still lots of wrapping up to do for this year, so I’ll have a little break, but there’s plenty to do before next year.
“But a huge thank you to the marshals who made everything run smoothly, and to our performers Omari and Matt, who will definitely be invited back.”
