Well that was a pleasant day out, rain map definitely not needed! I haven't been to that rally before so I can't compare it to previous years. And it was nice to bump into forum member Greenstar.

Myself and fellow committee member Robin Dibble popped along and we both picked up a few useful bits and pieces.
Good to catch up with a few other BVWS stalwarts - namely Christopher Capener, Mike Butt and Alan McGregor.
Thanks to the organisers for arranging a most enjoyable event.

Yes, although it seemed a little less-busy / less traders this year than previous years
- Not sure if being a week earlier than usual (It's normally a week before the Aug Bank Holiday weekend / Milton Keynes Rally), or the warm weather meant a few missed it / decided not to go?
However, I still managed to pick-up quite a bit of stuff, for v.cheap prices.
