Hi All

Just thought I would share an event we have supported since it's inception in 2015, which now attracts 130+ cars monthly.

A friendly and relaxed atmosphere with all varieties of cars on show, from 205 GTi to Lamborghini Huracan and everything in between

There is also support from local business' including Detailing companies, Tuning garages, Wrappers and more. Who are on site to offer advice and a friendly chat over a cappuccino.

Would be great for some more PH guys to attend.

Here's a video produced by Blank media of the April event.

Hope to see you guys there in the future

Shame I moved from Aylesbury in December, like the Akeman and would have been an easy one to head down to!

May try and pop over one month, looks like a good turnout thumbup

It's an ideal venue

The June meet raised £155 for Oxford Hospitals and the July meet raised £220!

A nice write up here from Starlike

I'd driven past a couple of times, and thought something was going on.

When are they held? Last Sunday of every month?

Just been looking at this on FB - think I'll bring the ol' VXR8 along and make the most of the petrolhead gatherings before I'm forced to hide indoors from the rain and drink copious quantities of vino biggrin This and another St Neots meet and the years a good 'un! They do have coffee & bacon don't they? No pig meat, no show laugh

That was a good event, well organised and a great turnout despite the wet stuff. Only downside was that the coffee was a LOT worse than the weather.

Something for everyone there methinks. Here's a few pics of the cars that attended...

Agreed, brilliant day, but the coffee was awful and it took us about a year to even get a menu in order to order our food. But when it came it was delicious, they just need to plan a bit better for the extra people

Seems OK to me, got a screenshot of yours so I can see? Don't want people not being able to read our stuff!

Okay - not 'almost impossible' but more contrast would help legibility smile

Hi Purso, keep an eye on https://boosteduk.com/
I don't really do FB either but have reluctantly done it just to keep abreast of events such as this. Strictly no selfies or pics of my dinner laugh
Looking at previous posts they had a New Year meet and were running the monthly meets from Feb it seems.
I only went to the last event and it was very busy. Pub couldn't cope with people so trying to eat or drink was a bit of a nightmare. Some interesting vehicles though...

The Winter Turkey Run is on 11th at 9am from Akeman Inn - a run for teams of two collecting food for charity but its fully booked. If you're nearby, may be worth a look at departing cars. Not involved so don't know route or any other details I'm afraid.

I'll try & remember to inform you of any future events if I catch them in time.
