BACON FAT!!!!!!

One year the club stand was next to an 'all day breakfast' stall. The prevailing wind ensured that all cars were eventually covered by a fine rust preventative mist!

The Churchill show is a multi-make show organised in aid of local charities. It's held (this year) on the cricket pitch in Churchill, which is about 3 miles from Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire.

From the organisers-

Catering arrangements have been extended to commence from 10.00 am with refreshments being prepared by the W.I. and volunteers.
The entrance fee is £5 per vehicle which entitles you to a number of complimentary items, namely a rally plate, programme & commemorative plaque.
From 12.00, when the show opens to the public, there will be attractions including side shows, autojumble, motorcycles and stationary engines.
All proceeds from this event go to charity. In total we have raised almost £100,000 and our last show raised over £13,000.
Due to the popularity of the show, [at the 2006 event we had to stop entries 4 weeks prior] we are limiting entries to 400 in total. This will ensure that we maintain the intimacy and friendliness that has been so much a part of our previous events.
