Kempton Classic Car and Bike Show, to be held at Kempton Steam Museum on Sunday 28th September.
Kempton Steam Museum have the worlds largest working triple expansion steam engine (a similar type to the engines fitted on the Titanic), which will be in steam with demonstrations running throughout the day.
I went to this event last year with John Dennys and it was a good day out with plenty of cars in attendance. I could have spent all day watching the engine running.
The museum is a relatively small site, however having spoken with the event organiser, they will make space to accomodate us. Please let me know if you feel like coming along so that I can give them an approximate figure on the number of cars attending.
Gates open at 9:00AM and they would like us in place ahead of the museum opening to the public at 10:30AM.
Requested entry is a modest £5 donation.

Come along Chris if you are free? Perhaps the Hoopers would also be interested in this one?
As it stands now, we have 3-4 cars confirmed, as always however, the more the merrier.

Anymore for anymore? I will need to confirm numbers back to the event organiser early next week, speak now if you think you may be able to make it.

Thanks to Mike and John, Matt, and John Dennys for making the trip down to Kempton yesterday, I hope you enjoyed the day. I know the organiser was extremely grateful to see us there.
For those not on facebook, here are a few pictures I captured from yesterday: (except the board will not let me post the link because it desperately needs upgrading :roll: )
See the nice downloads the board gives me when attempting to click Submit with links present. Seriously, this needs sorting - it's not a hard job to upgrade the boards software to the latest version.

I know that upgrading of the forum is an ongoing issue which I think Rich H is working on in his
spare time.
If you're at the AGM in November, then maybe you could discuss it in detail with him there?

I know Mike has kindly offered before to help out (and much appreciated it is) I don't understand why you have problems up loading pics as I never have that issue. Either way I'm sure Rich is looking in to it

It's not really an issue as such Claire, it could be upgraded within 30 mins tops. At least then it would be up to date and hopefully resolve the errors/glitches that are on various parts of the board.

I don't get it either, it seems to be posts over a certain length pull up that glitch, and I've had it with posts before which didn't contain any external links, so I know it's not the links that cause the problem.
