New classic meet every 3rd Thursday of the month.
Hosted by The Classicwise Collection at;

The Dovecote
Cross Hill House
Laxton
Nottinghamshire
NG22 0SX

I have nothing to do with the meet but know the owner (Sam) of the Classicwise collection and live locally.
Sam stocks some amazing classics and I know there quite a few locals going too.

There will be a £10 Pie, Pea and a Pint deal on too, and have eaten here numerous time and the food is cracking.

I can't make this first one as I'll be away, but hopefully see some of you in September.

Sounds interesting, do you know what time it starts? I know there's some nice classics in the villages around there.

I'm not especially local, I'm in Retford. I did have a few connections around Tuxford and the villages as an ex-partner lived and went to school in Tuxford. I didn't make it tonight, mid-week things are usually difficult for me to get to due to work; but this year work's slowed down a lot so do sometimes get the opportunity.

Just a quick bump...

The second meet here is next Thursday 17th from 5pm.

I'll be there from 6pm ish.

As you can probably tell, I don't get on here that much.

Unfortunately this is now cancelled....

This is from the event organisers...

😞 As much as we don’t want to... 🙁

With all the new rules coming in again both myself and Sam at Classicwise think the right thing to do is postpone until next month and see where the country is at.

We had such a brilliant time for our first event so it would be a real shame for the next one to have been ruined by the police showing up because they think what we are doing is wrong!! Enthusiasts and owners will always need an excuse to bring the car out or nip to the pub and see some stunners so we will be back next month (fingers crossed!!)

If you can please communicate out to your groups I would really appreciate it as we won’t be offering the BBQ anymore if anybody does still turn up!

I hope you will all come back plus more next month as the first one was amazing and I’m really looking forward to the next one and next years evenings.

Thanks for your understanding and please know we haven’t taken the decision lightly,

Now back on for this coming Thursday...


GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYBODY!

We were absolutely gutted to cancel the last event on Thursday. So, we have rearranged for this coming Thursday the 24th September! Please update yourselves as to social distancing measures etc in the details part on the event page.

- IMPORTANT -
We have had a couple of complaints of people leaving our evening in a slightly anti social manner so we will have ANPR active taking registration details of cars when entering and leaving the event. Unfortunately, if when leaving the event, you find it necessary to floor it out of our car park then we have no choice but to BAN you from future events. Please understand that this isn’t what we want to do but both myself and Sam have our businesses on show and we want everybody to be happy including the village residents. If we were in the middle of nowhere with no houses nearby then it would be fine but we are a quiet village that hears everything!! We both appreciate your understanding and are looking forward to seeing you on Thursday 24th!!

Thanks,

Sam
