We’ll get to Prescott if it kills us!
Midsummer’s Day and Pre-War Prescott is just one month today. We have an incredible day lined up for you, and also a superb weekend, with great pub meets on Friday and Sunday evenings plus the hugely popular Sunday Navigation Rally and parallel Scenic Tour. Add to that traditional home-made cream teas on the lawns at Stanway House on Sunday after noon and you have the quintessential English summer weekend. With a month to the day, we have a mouthwatering entry for Prescott of 163 pre-war, vintage, and centenarian cars and a wide array of trade stalls and other attractions plus full catering and licensed bar all day, plus the social occasion of the year – the Pre-War Prescott BBQ and buffet with live jazz music presented by Mike Dowley and his ragtime band. I don’t k now about you, but I can’t wait!
The good news is that there is still plenty of time to get your entry in, but you had better get it in el quicko if you want to climb the hill. As of this morning, we had just 34 climbs left, BUT after a deep review of last year’s statistics, we have decided to offer another 25 climbs, making 500 in total, so we can offer an absolute limit of 59 more climbs. This is because there are always a handful of last-minute cancellations due to illness, car problems, etc. and also because not all entrants who automatically receive a free climb take advantage of it, some preferring not to leave their picnic and bottle of claret – and you can’t blame them!
Right now we have 50 entries for Sunday – 18 in the navigation Rally and 32 scenic tourists. There will be a number of awards to bestow including the fiercely contested Lewis and Nicholson Compass, competed for by teams of Austin Sevens and Morris Minors. The Morris Minors will once again compete for the Roy Hogg Trophy.
