James thank you for posting this topic on this new forum for me as this is the first I knew of it's existance

I'm sure some of the Beds Phers will know of Kimbolton but it may be new to most (but not all) Bucks and Herts PHers

A very brief look on the forum and I've already found missdiane crossing the border without a passport

ETA missdiane and others

How indecisive to have a dual passport

By the way Matt I don't think I ever told you what Loti we've had for Kimbolton Sporting Bears Dream Rides

The only ones I remember are funnily enough are in 1999 (or 2000) Keith's 111S (I had a drive of that then, interesting brakes that you had to warm up)

More recently Mike's yellow S1 (S1 got T-boned by a young lady who denied responsibility and the case is going to court this October after more than 2 years IIRC)

It's replacement the silver S2 and the Chairman's blue S2 have been together and last year were joined by Keith's 111S (still has it)

I wish we could make it next week but we are at a wedding on the saturday, getting Matt out of bed next week would be like extracting him from his Xbox at the moment!

East Anglia PH are having a stand a few PHers (some also Bears) are offering their very tasty cars for Sporting Bears Dream Rides

Yes Cambridgeshire Matt, on the Cambs/Beds border

Kimbolton is on the B645 (old A45 to coast)

Kimbolton Castle (school) is on the B645 off village main street and borders the B660 to Bedford

Yesterday, here, it was cloudy most of the morning and looked like rain - we had 15 minutes of rain then it was sunny so 15 minutes of rain all day

Today, here, it's been overcast with sometimes heavy looking clouds for nine hours so far but has remained warm and dry - ". . . always look on the bright side of life . . . "

A few years ago we had three short showers at Kimbolton but because of the time of year within 10 minutes of each shower you'd never have known it had rained

Today was a scorcher, if it would be kind enough to play out the same tomorrow, bring your sunblock!

[Sporting Bear]

Thanks to everybody that attended today

Glad we missed the light showers

I think overall the show will generate £15,000 for
