Car shows in the North West 2023 (and N.Wales / Staffs)

[droopsnoot]

The meeting at the Old Piggery Cafe on the A525 at Combermere, just a few miles south west of Nantwich, is on this coming Sunday 7th July. This one is for cars 1990 onwards. The previous pre-1990 one was fairly good, some interesting stuff that I hadn't seen before, but the weather didn't encourage lots of people to bring their cars. I'd have a stab at getting my daily driver in but I'm at Llangollen Classic Transport Weekend.

Next weekend, 13th and 14th, is Cheshire Steam Fair at Daresbury. There is some car and motorcycle content as well as the steamers.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but there’s a North Wales Cars & Coffee on the Promenade twice per month - every 1st Sunday of the month in Rhos on Sea and every 3rd Sunday in Pensarn.

Rhos on Sea is my favoured of the two. Neither has plenty of refreshments that close by, but Rhos is a lovely place.

The FB group is at https://www.facebook.com/groups/272196209803253.

There is always a good turn out and Rhos in particular is a lovely spot on a sunny Sunday morning.

That sounds good. I can’t see much as I’m not on Facebook though. Would be a good excuse to get my car out for a decent drive!

Would definitely recommend it if you’re within an hour or so, however the forecast for tomorrow morning is quite poor at the moment.

Much Hoole this Sunday.

Weather looks to be pretty good, and there's good beer as well!

Also Astle Park steam rally on Saturday and Sunday, and the meeting at the Crewe Heritage Centre on Sunday morning. The latter requires the cars to be in place by 9.30am.

See you there, if I can fix the brakes before then.

Hoghton Tower (near Preston) is on this Sunday. Hopefully I'll have fixed the brake lights on my P5B.

I hope to go to the The Old Piggery at Combermere meeting but have heard it can be so busy cars get turned away, is there any truth in that?

Yes, they had a very busy meeting early on last year (or maybe 2024) that led to some queueing and impatience on the road outside, some near misses, so now they control the numbers quite strictly. The meeting on December 28th was well-attended and there were a few turned away. Often it's just a case of going away for a bit then coming back when someone has left. Unfortunately there's no way to predict when it'll happen - the weather plays a part, of course.

Next gathering at The Old Piggery cafe is to be on March 15th.
