If I remember correctly it's pretty informal, most cars probably arrive between 6 and 7 but the gates are open all evening and the fields big enough for everyone. smile

Not entirely a PH meet but one we do go to. Lots of older motors and interesting stuff does turn up there.

Weather looking good for tonight (probably just jinxed it!)
However had to tow car to the garage last night due to no life in the fuel pump! Looks like i'll be turning up in the Vectra then!

Hi Simon - I did see you the other month in Papplewick (so I now know where you live LOL). I think I've got the venues mixed up though as I thought the OP was referring to the meet at the pumping station and not the Griffins Head in Linby. As you can gather - I've recently moved 'north' smile

Scrol up or down a little.wink
I think this is the 2nd of the year, turnout depends on the weather, looking out my window at the moment I'd guess at about 75-100 cars if it starts raining divide by 10.
Cars will probably be arriving from 6ish and probably be emptying by 9ish.

Excellent turn out, and some stunning cars. rotate
Great to catch up with a few old faces and have a nice evening in a field with a pint kicking tyres and talking cars.
And hello to the guy in the Caterfield with Cosworth writtern on the back, I would have expected you to be quicker through the By-Pass.wink .. driving
