New classic meet - Guildford

[Oceanrower]

Hi all.

Just a heads up, the Olive Tree in Sutton Green, just outside Guildford, is hosting it’s first meet this Sunday, 24th.

The theme is loosely pre ‘90’s but there’s an incredible amount of flexibility in that! Free tea and coffee too!

Ah yes, I know Dave. He’s at a place in Farnham now.

His business partner, Nigel, is still at the Olive Tree and the Dog

That looks really interesting as I'm not far away.

My only problem is my fun car is from 2006. Would there be enough parking for me to take that and have a look around?

How do, Mr. Tidy, it’s the first one they’ve run so, to be honest, there could be 5 vehicles, there could be 500. Time will tell.

Either way, there’ll be room. And if your fun car is interesting, I really wouldn’t worry about the age. I’ve got a friend who, hopefully (and reliability permitting) is turning up in a 2018 steam engine. It’s more of a guideline than a rule…

My experience of classic car shows is that anything goes these days. My local meets are packed with new MINIs and later model MX5s. Very rare to see much more than 20 years old. I've given up going.

I think we mostly avoided that. 35 odd cars with a great mix from Ford Popular to a lovely old Lagonda and everything in between.

It was a great meeting: fantastic variety of cars and friendly owners all happy to have a chat.

They're going to need a bigger carpark if it gets any more popular though ...

Great meet on a sunny morning with very nice bacon baps. Well done to all involved in organising.
