 | This year's event was one of the best ever. The sky looked a bit dodgy with dark grey clouds from time to time; but it stayed dry apart from a momentary light shower. |
| It all came together after six months of planning by a small but dedicated committee, backed up by a large group of volunteers who made it all happen on the day. |  |
 | It would not have been possible without the many enthusiasts who bring along their lovingly restored and cared for vehicles. There wouldn't be much point without the many visitors who come to enjoy the afternoon |
| My only regret is that the barbecue ran our of food by the time I'd finished taking photographs to put up on this page! |  |
 On the left is 1916 Foster Showman's engine. On the right is a 1926 Avelling Steam Roller. At the end of the show it was used to flatten some damage to the grass caused by a tracked vehicle. |
 This miniature train is a regular visitor to our event, carrying younger childen (and the odd parent) up and down its track. |
 This fairground organ added to the vintage atmosphere |
 We were treated to a Dog Agility display by human and canine members of Lichfield and District Dog Training Society |
 |
 Just a few of the many and varied stalls. |
 The green bike on the left is a 1960 Francis Barnet Plover 150 cc Next to it is a 1970 BSA Thunderbolt 650 ccTourer |
 The Velocette Venom 500 is one of the greatest motorcycles ever built. Here are two of them, a 1959 and a 1960 model. |
 The Ariel Arrow 250 had a 2-stroke, twin cylinder engine. The owner of this 1965 example was not expecting to to exhibit it; but the webmaster talked him into moving it on to the field. |
 Sorry I don't have any details about this Harley-Davidson and sidecar. Please enlighten me if you know more. |

 There's no mistaking this AC Cobra in such a discreet colour! |
 The 4x4, 1953 ex-army Morris MRAI tipper on the left cost £45 in 1955. It was reconditioned in 1998 after a long lay up. |
 The owner of this 1960 Ford Thames 400E claims that he bought it on Ebay one night when he was drunk! It had been layed up in a barn for 35 years. It started on the second attempt after fitting a new battery and putting fuel in it. Restoration took 3 years, just in time for this year's event. |
 Both these vehicles were painstakingly and lovingly rebuilt from derelict wrecks by Paul Adams. On the left is a 1958 Guy Vixen box van which spent its working with Pickfords. It was rescued after 30 years in a Watford scrapyard. Next to it is a 1955 Albion Claymore. |
 More of Paul Adams' fleet: next to the Guy vixen and Albion claymore is a 1932 Leyland Badger, once part of Paul's father's fleet of lorries, and a 1958 Leyland Octopus. |
