FAIRHAVEN  AND TOWNLEY SHOW REVIEW

Townley show report

This was the first time back to Burnley for the club for 2 years. Its such a nice venue and you are always made welcome, but as we set the stand up and you looked around there didn't seem half as many cars or stalls as in past years. There wasn't even a fun fair for the kids unless you call one lorry with a fun house and 2 side stalls a fair! The weather didn't let us down as Townley hall shows go; it rained again! As for the club 3 cars and 4 people myself ( Steve mk3 ) Steve and Andrew Tilley (mk2 saloon )and Ian in his ( black mk2 ) with the flags, bunting, etc the stand didn't look to bad we had lots of interest in the club with info given out so hopefully some new members.
 
 
Fairhaven show report

The day started out with a 5 car convoy from Chorley with myself (Steve mk3  Granada Cosworth estate) Steve Tilley (mk2), Andrew Tilley (Sierra Cosworth), John Crawford (xr3i ), and last but not least Mr Ronnie Bradley (mk2). Yes you'd better believe it! Ronnie at a show! I even think he had washed behind his ears! It was a nice easy run  to the venue. Ian (mk2) and Jim (mk2) had just arrived before us making 7 cars in total. It was a great turn out for the club show day. Steve had said "there could be someone else to come".  Rod and Anne arrived in a mk2 and parked up then joined the club, so we would like to welcome them  as our newest members. It was a nice day but  a little cold.  I had had some t-shirts printed up for the club and they really looked the part with the club logo on them. These shirts came to the club as a gift from Steve and Sue Tilley and a big thanks must go to them as this was the show day the club needed. Some judging  was done by 4 different people:- 2 members from the Cortina club, Gary Mullineaux and a member from the Blackpool Vehicle Preservation Group. It was very good of these people to give their time and the club would like to thank them for this. After what seemed hours the paperwork was given back and this was the outcome for the cars in the different classes:-
 
1st     mk2      Rod Smith
2nd    mk2      Ian Hawle
3rd     mk2      Ronnie Bradley
