The
Dog & Duck used to be our headquarters for the Winter Meetings but the
Covid Epidemic changed the local scene and we have moved on. This remains,
however, a Sunday Lunchtime outside venue where this year we had a good
turnout of some 21 cars on a rescheduled date due potential clashes. In
the event, the Historic Commercials Run to Brighton had been cancelled
this year, as was the local waterlogged Cow Pie Country Show. Dog and Duck
is however a place where new SVVS machinery is unveiled and is
traditionally blessed with very good weather, as was his time in midst of
what has otherwise been a horrendously wet first part of the year. Even
the recent coronation was marred by rain and all local farmers are
desperate to get onto drier land, so they do not wreck it with their
tractors.
