Blackburn is getting it's first Classic Car show at Witton Park on 9th May 2010, organised by the same people that do the Royal Lancs Show. It should be a fabulous day out!
If any members have or know people that have a classic car (or two) that they'd like to show, the organisers are inviting entries now and as it's likely to be oversubscribed, so it's worth getting in early.
