Being almost on our doorstep it would be rude not to attend such a great event. The beautiful October heatwave helped of course. For a change it wasn’t blowing a gale, good news for us being set up backing onto the beach with no means of tethering our gazebo/wannabe kite. We have gathered a selection…read more »

 Thanks, thanks, thanks, how do we start to show our gratitude after such a fantastic evening? To Ryan and Anna at Prept: a huge thank-you for inviting us and a few friends to your event.

Purchase Manager Ian made the trip in his Bug (as the weather was nice), and was kind enough to…read more »

Often overlooked as just a small show, this is one to really watch next year. Set in the grounds of  Stanford Hall, a 17th century stately home; the backdrop is as picturesque as can be and offers a little bit of culture for those wishing to widen their horizons away from the cars, if just…read more »
