This was a newish venue for our last outside Evening
Meeting of the year. The Fox Revived is a thriving busy pub and highly
popular eatery so that the car park is generally entirely packed with no
spare spaces availablel. Fortunately they have an overflow paddock a
little away from the building which we knew about because of our last
visit, so we beetled there directly. Like last year the space very quickly
totally filled up; sellout on parking, both sides and eventually in the middle.
Fortunately people stopped arriving just at the point where there was no
more room to accommodate them. The paddock is grass and although it was quite dry,
because it is on a slope, I again had wheel-spin which could be
problematic when wet. In view that evenings are drawing in, we advanced
the starting time from 8 pm to 6pm. The evening weather was fine and dry;
shirtsleeves. The sun was setting and it was getting chilly as we started
leaving at the time we would have been arriving. We had a great turnout of
39 proper vehicles which included a number of potential new members in
American cars, and in hot Anglias. We even had a motorcycle, a 250cc
yellow Ducatti Desmodromic. |
