Bromham Vintage Vehicle Meet
Dear Bromham Resident,
It is now just over one week until Bromham’s very first Vintage Vehicle Meet!
At the moment the weather forecast is predicts sunny skies with temperatures of around 25 degrees Celsius, we are however keeping a very close eye on the weather and will update the Bromham socials should be event need to be cancelled at the last minute.
This event is being held on the Millenium field, with public car parking on the adjacent Jubilee Field.
The gates will be opening at 11am to all members of the public who wish to join us, we are asking for a minimum donation of £5 per vehicle attending, for members of the public strolling in through the gates, arriving on foot or indeed bicycle we are kindly asking for voluntary donations, there will be plenty of donation buckets dotted throughout the site, please do dig deep. All proceeds are being donated will go towards supporting the Bromham Community Hub.
We are very excited to bring this event to Bromham, we are a very small team of four working behind the scenes and what was an innocent idea being bandied about ‘down the pub’ now seems to ‘finally’ be coming to fruition. A massive amount of hard work has gone into organising this event and a full list of thank yous will be published in the next edition of The Hoot, along with some photos of the event too we hope.
Indications are showing that the event is going to be busy, however as this is the first event of its kind to be held in Bromham, we are unsure just how many visitors it will attract. We therefore kindly ask for your patience and understanding should the village be a little busier than normal on the day.
We would be delighted if you would come along and support the event. Everyone is very welcome.
We hope that we have included something for the Whole Family
Who’s coming?
We have a delightful array of classic cars, interesting vehicles, motorcycles, tractors making an appearance. We also have a full-sized steam engine coming along, several miniature engines, two vintage fire engines and blacksmithing demonstrations.
Members of Bromham Steam Traction are attending with both full size and miniature engines they are hoping to be able to offer engine rides depending on the site conditions on the day. There will be a small additional charge for engine rides however we are sure you will agree this is an opportunity that is not to be missed!
