Open house event with Classic Motor Cycle meet

Post by Knight »

On Saturday 19th September 2009 between 10.00am and 4.00pm an Open house event with a "Classic Motor Cycle Meet" will be held at St Dunstan's Church which is situated in Cranford Park of the roundabout at Junction 3 of the M4,[A312].As part of the English Heritage "Open House" scheme.

I have been before and it usually coincides with the Cranford Park Summer fair which sadly is not being held.You get a turnout of classic bikes of all types.

Anyone welcome to come along ,as i will ,unless the weather is really bad :shock:

Historic St Dunstan's Church will be open all day and refreshments will be available.

Nice morning and nice a place, felt invincible weaving through the traffic on the M25 on the way home after the Rev had blessed the bikes :D

Did anyone win anything after I left?

Fortunately not...

I said to Rog later "If I win the raffle, I'll donate the bike for the next raffle"
(It was a very nasty old Suzuki - something like a GN400 I'd guess)

Rog then told me it had probably been raffled about 20 times already....
