Following on from previous successful years the popular Lion Green event is growing and in 2012 we have more space and can accommodate an increased number of cars and stalls. The event is in two parts, a pre-booked limited number morning tour around the beautiful local countryside with a stop at a place of interest and a free static show on the green from 12.30 until 5pm. This is open to all pre-1973 type vehicles and we are hoping to attract a wide selection from turn of the century veterans, post war family classics, race machinery to early 70’s super-cars. There will be two fun awards with some great prizes, a 'best dressed car and driver' and a 'People's Choice' voted by the public for the car they would most like to take home. While pre-1973 vehicles are welcome to turn up on the day, pre-booking will guarantee a place on the Green. More information is available online at: www.jamesewing.co.uk/hccs or email hccs@jamesewing.co.uk.
