Saturday
Pre-War Prescott 2015
Organised
and hosted by the Vintage Minor Register
After three visits to Prescott
by the VMR, the Register inaugurated Pre-War Prescott in 2011, and the
day was immediately a tremendous success.
Pre-War Prescott now forms
the centrepiece of our annual Summer Rallies. VMR Prescott has become
famous for its relaxed, friendly, garden party atmosphere.
The day offers the unique
opportunity and thrill of being able to drive your own pre-war car up this
famous and historic hill, owned and operated
by the Bugatti
Owners Club. All pre-war cars are cordially invited to attend,
and a number of one-make clubs and registers have already booked in for
the day.
A wide variety of activities and displays is being planned once again, including vintage aircraft displays and a host of trade stands.
During the lunch break, the Sports & Vintage Cup will be awarded to the most meritorious Register member in the last year.
Once again, the designated
charity for the day is the RAF
Charitable Trust.
There will be a no-reserve
auction of spares and automobilia organized by Hereford
Vintage Auctions during the lunch break,
with all funds raised to
be donated to the Trust. So please bring along any suitable item
that you would like to donate to the auction.
Full catering and a licensed
bar will be available throughout the day,
and will feature fine ales
from the local Prescott Brewery.
The day will conclude with a Battle of britain Victory BBQ and Dance evening at the Clubhouse on the hill.
A map of Prescott - we will
be using the long course (vias Ettore's Bend) in 2015.
Pre-War cars wishing to
climb the hill will be parked in the Paddocks.
Spectators' cars and post-war
cars will be parked in the Public Car Park.
