Woolley Moor Show, Sat 12th August

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Meet at Artist's Corner Car Park, Matlock, DE4 3PS at 11.00 to leave at 11.15am. From there follow me for a 20 minute journey to get to the show. We can have a look around this small village show including sampling the BBQ and home baked cakes before watching the military flypast at 2.10pm. I think then we will be ready to take to our cars and have a drive around.

Public entrance is £3 but I think if you display it is free entry. There are all the usual attractions like falconry flying, dog agility, flower arranging, brass bands, cake, did I mention the cakes, cars, tractors etc.

Anyone want to join us?

Hi Folks.

Hooray, there is someone else out there that has not got a party lifestyle like some @Trevturtle @Ali and Gail 

Alright then Chris, we will look out for you cruising up and down Matlock Bath  weather forecast is good at the moment too!

 

[Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO]

[AndrewBClarke]

Count me in - bringing Pete.  C U at Artists Corner Car Park where ever that is!

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Wow, I am impressed, what a journey Andrew. Well I can inform you that there are no sex shops to navigate by, so you will just have to come through the shops of Matlock, and when you get trees either side of the road, the car park is fairly quickly on the left. There are yellow fixed speed cameras (40mph) just near the entrance.

For the Westfield Incontinence Society there are toilets in the car park.

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Can't make this one either, see everyone soon, hopefully!

Oh wow, if a day has a Lancaster Bomber AND a Spitfire in,  add in some Westfields and great people, it just has to be a good day, brilliant in fact.

Chris and Mo, Alan, Andrew and son Pete met at Matlock, with Martyn and Sue coming straight from Curborough Breakfast Meet, which sounded like it was a good start to the day.

Andrew, who is your pin up boy for the WSCC calendar this month, decided we all needed to do a panorama shot. None came out very good and this is my best shot.

We went to Woolley Moor Show where all the show cars had got there early (it opens at 12) so we had to park by the tractors. The show is in a lovely setting, high up in the countryside.

We all did our own thing until the fly past at 2.10pm. Obviously we went to eat cake, if you aren't driving what better thing is there to do? 3 pieces for me and 2 for Glen.

We found some cute twins

Andrew won a Minion for his son, Pete, who, by the way, is about 20 something.

 

Then it was the highlight of the day, oh the sound is just heart wrenching.

Afterwards we went for a MAJOR pose through Matlock Bath, it was heaving with tourists. The brill thing is that the roads are clear because everybody is already there, if you know what I mean. We called at Ca**ington Water for a brew, and jam and cream scones before Andrew and Chris followed me home on the back roads, now avoiding Matlock as it would be busy at this time of day.

A great day out and thank you to everyone for joining us
