EVENING CONCOURS, WEDNESDAY 20 AUGUST
An informal but organized affair held at the Redwell Inn, Kirkby Lonsdale Road, near Arkholme, Lancs LA6 1BQ. There is no need to book in advance, just turn up and pay £6, for which you get a hot-pot supper included (passengers can also eat, for £5 each). There is a vegetarian option.
This event is aimed more at participants than spectators, with the entrants doing most of the judging themselves (you can't vote for your own car!). Although we’ve had some superb winners over the years, the ethos is 'polish it up and join in' rather than look jealously over your shoulder. Definitely not an occasion for people to put mirrors under their wings or for judges inspect the cleanliness of the engine oil. And it certainly doesn’t matter how much your car is worth, or how old it is. All you need is enthusiasm.
First entries are at 6:30pm, last entries 8pm sharp. There’s a broad mix of classes, which traditionally attracts a good variety: from vintage and pvt through postwar cars of all kinds to modern custom and modified cars.
Awards will be as follows. All are judged by the entrants themselves, except where marked *.
