Classic Commercial Show

Saturday 26th March 2011, we visited the Classic Commercial Show, held at the Three Counties Showground, Malvern in Worcestershire. This is the second year this event has been held on this site and there were in excess of 100 exhibits, trade and catering. Furthermore an auction was conducted by H J Pughs. It was a cold grey day but we had a good time. We were allowed a small club display for the North Worcestershire Vintage Tractor and Engine Club. This was to promote two events, the Evesham Spring Gathering and the Annual Vintage Gathering at Astwood Bank 11th & 12th June. The latter event is organised by the NWVTEC.
