Classics at the Holme Bush 4th May 2008
Once again, there was an excellent turnout for the WVPC event at the Holme Bush Inn. The weather forecast was foul, and so it was encouraging to have such a good attendance for this event, now in its fourth year.
With almost 250 exhibitors, the well-prepared fields were full with a wide variety and age of vehicles.

Picnics were rapidly re-packed, soft tops were lifted, and people took shelter in a variety of places, including the barn normally home to "Jenny" the donkey and of coarse the pub, where the singer had moved inside to continue.
With many of the exhibitors leaving once the bad weather hit, a decision was made not to proceed with the prize giving on the day but to defer it to the next club night.
The results were:
- Landladies Choice - (bottle of bubbly) Dodge Custom Royal entered by Martin Bower who also gets the Holme Bush Cup.
- Reliability Prize (bottle of bubbly) - Talbot 10 Tourer entered by Antonia Pritchard.
- Best Car - (Ringwood Brewery voucher) Oldsmobile ANU 72A entered by Aris Tellier.
- Best Motorcycle - (bottle of bubbly) Norton - DWB836
- Best Commercial - (bottle of bubbly) Morris 1000 Registration 825 WPJ.
We owe a big thank you to Terry & Jill from the Holme Bush, as well as Jim, a pub regular who very ably directed car parking for the visiting public.
Thanks are also due to all the WVPC team who worked hard prior to and during the event. Thanks also to Ringwood Brewery for sponsorship.
And finally to all of you who despite the weather supported by attending on the day to make the event a success, even with a dodgy weather forecast.
