Sunday September 16th 2001. Five cars from the South Wales Region were invited to attend the event. There were hundreds of cars at the event as you can see from the queues to get into the place.

The dust storm started to blow up on the way in, and it was to be the only problem with our time there.  All the hard work with sponge and cloth put in on Saturday was completely wasted (somebody had even removed his wheels and cleaned the backs of 'em!). We were parked right next to a dirt road that had turned into a fine powder, and thanks to a helpful wind, settled on all the cars.

Some valiant efforts were made to keep the dust at bay, but it was a losing battle, and rubbing the fine dirt off the bodywork with a cloth was probably doing more harm than good.

Anyway, the cars made a nice display with the jaunty gazebo set up in case of the rain that never came. We needed it to keep the Sun off as it turned out.

A lot of interest was shown, with several potential new members given info. and just a lot of nice chatting with people passing by.

One chap insisted that the MX5 was originally available in kit form(?!). Answers on a postcard.

A great day was had by all. If it weren't for that b***dy dust, it would have been perfect. If I go next year, I want to see the ground plan first.
