Hi Gang

A great big thank you to you all for supporting a very wet and soggy Cabriolet 2009

Much appreciated - hope you enjoyed the goodie bag?

For those who did not suffer the rain till it stopped play, Paul Weston took home the Holland Brothers Trophy for Best Non-Concours Cabriolet with his 1985 B468 FOF

Can you let me have your details please Paul? - i.e. Home address

Tara took away the award for Best Ladies Cabriolet with her 1985 B42 TNG

I’m not sure what was in the little box Tara?
Please let me know, as I like surprises!

Despite 5 Cabriolets not wanting to be associated with us, as they say, “There’s no Hiding from Bleasie” and Kevin got their registration numbers, so I can now find their VIN’s!

The Tombola made £85.00 which helped towards the cost of the gazebo, table etc.

I think we possibly gave away more than we sold!

Nice to see Tony and Neil from Jaguar Heritage, and many thanks Tony, for the loan of the last Cabriolet off the line!

Tony Ridge says I have to contribute towards the cost of getting it there – I am hoping it was a joke!

OK, enough from me………..
Thanks once again to you all for supporting me
