The New Forest Centre had been allocated a good space at the top of the field next to a large tree, which gave us some welcome shade from the very hot afternoon sun. We were situated next to \u2018Bill Rawles Classic Cars\u2019 stand, who was the main sponsor of the show. Our display of 7 cars was a good spread of the Austin Healey models, and received a lot of interest from the crowds.<\/p>\n Most of the Healey club had taken a picnic and we were able to enjoy this either in the sun or in the shade of our \u2018personal\u2019 tree. Membership forms and old Rev-Counters were on offer, and we passed out a few\u00a0through the day.<\/p>\n![\"wd2\"](\"http:\/\/www.nfahc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/wd2-300x231.jpg\")
<\/a>This was the 10th Year of the show, and around 400 vehicles\/bikes came along to what was a superb day both in weather and atmosphere.<\/p>\n![\"wd3\"](\"http:\/\/www.nfahc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/wd3-300x297.jpg\")
<\/a>Entries for the show were divided into 13 classes for cars and 12 for motor bikes. Apparently it started as a bike show, and grew over the years. There were many stalls displayed around the field selling a variety of items \u2013 we also had a tombola and a \u2018ring the bell\u2019 among the many other attractions. As always with these events there were many food and drink stalls and of course cake stalls, so plenty of opportunities to indulge. Music was provided by a tribute \u2018Elvis\u2019 act which seemed to prove popular.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Unbeknown to Jan & I, the judges had been round and placed a \u20182nd in Class 17 Pre 1960 Sports Car\u2019 class on our BN1. This created a fair bit of leg pulling, but all in good humour. At 4pm we duly collected our plaque and lapel badge, and packed up to leave with the others.<\/p>\n
