A total of 18 MVs attended our Crank-up
Weekend at John Marchant’s Old Stratford farm on April 26-27, although not all
stayed for the whole weekend. Weather was mixed but there were enough bright,
dry spells for drivers to exercise their vehicles on the field.
An all-day barbecue, quiz, film show
and music kept us occupied in the 12x36 tent and on Sunday lay reader Katie
Kitchen (ex-Royal Navy) led a short service which included a two minutes’
silence.

Canada F60S, 1942 Chevrolet HUP, 1945 Ford T16 Carrier, 1958 Dodge M37, 1963
