To be held over two days this is a huge show with magnificent flying displays from the early aviation days up to the latest fighter jets intermixed with some superb historic vehicles/motorcycles and more recent modern supercars all speeding down the runway. Many of the vehicles are from the famous Brooklands Motor Museum.

Just a little bit more info on the "Wild West Run" that "Gregg & Rachel" will be organising .
This is going to be a relatively lengthy run into West Sussex approximately 35 miles or so and will take 1.5 – 2 hours depending on your navigation skills as this will be a tulip diagram run!
We know how much you all love these! Starting at the
Kings Head, Chailey – 10 for a 10:30 staggered start.

The pub we are ending up at is a personal favourite of ours and the food is excellent. They are more than happy to accommodate us but we need a final figure on numbers and a menu choice (to follow for those interested) to ensure everything will run smoothly. They have a good range of food from roasts (as it is Sunday) and excellent homemade pies, pizza and gourmet burgers and it is well worth the trip. We will need to know final numbers and menu choice for those going by Thursday 1st September. Please email Gregg as soon as you can to let us know you are attending, we will then give you a menu and you can make your choices and we can let the pub know.

Unable to find further details at present but keep an eye on their website www.heritagefield.co.uk/ for updates.

London to Brighton Veteran Car Run
Just a note to let you know that we have changed the venue for watching the London to Brighton "Old Crocks" Run. This year we will assemble at The Friars Oak pub/restaurant, which is on the A273 at Hassocks, just opposite the Hassocks Golf Club
We will meet up at 10.00am onwards, and the pub will have a stall outside which supplies Bacon sandwiches and hot soup, tea and coffee until opening time when , of course, beer etc is available. The pub also does a good range of reasonably priced meals. This is a popular venue for Vet car watchers, and a good range of classic cars usually make the car park interesting. A number of the vet cars also stop to refuel both cars and drivers ready for the assault on Pyecombe Hill. We look forward to seeing you there!
