The first-ever Wokingham Classic Car Show is being planned for Saturday, 2nd July, by the Wokingham Lions Club. The event will take place at Elms Field from 10am to 3pm, with more than 100 classic, unusual and interesting cars and motorcycles to be on display. A selection of food and drinks will be available.
“This inaugural car show is open to the public. It is a free event, but donations to support our two named charities - Leukaemia UK and Wokingham Men's Shed - are greatly appreciated,” said Andy Goffin, president, Wokingham Lions Club.
The event is being organised by Lion Bob DuGard, with help from Graeme Barker, who have both organised Classic Car and Motorcycle Shows at Bearwood College from 2010 to 2013.
Mr. DuGard said: “On 2nd July, the convoy of fabulous vehicles will meet before the show in the grounds of Reddam House UK school, where pupils will be offering refreshments to the owners, before setting off to travel through Wokingham’s town centre (from around 9am – 10am), and then on to Elms Field. Vehicles on display will include luxury brands such as Porsche, Jaguar and Rolls Royce from local car clubs, as well as British and Japanese classic motorcycles. River Radio will be providing the music. Prizes will be awarded in a variety of categories such as Best in Show.”
He added: “We encourage the public to join us to come view a fantastic selection of vehicles that will be on show.
Among the sponsors of the Car Show are Wokingham MOT & Service Centre Ltd, Trimmania Ltd, A1 Group , Bearwood Fencing & Gates, Steadfastautosltd and Beech Hill Garage - British Classic Cars since 1979. Additional sponsorships are still available.
