Roll up for classic car and motorcycle show
It is not long now until the Sleaford Classic Car & Motorcycle Show will be held at Boston Road Recreation Ground for a second year since relocating to the bigger venue.
Each year a small committee of like minded people have worked hard to bring one of Sleaford’s largest, well attended and family friendly events which has been going for over 30 years.
Previously held at Lafford Terrace on Eastgate in the town, last year saw the organisers move to the field as the popular event expands.
Organising committee chairman Alan Aistrup said: “The relocation of the show to the Recreation Ground was, despite the slightly inclement weather a great success. With more space and with more attractive surroundings the show was a big hit with both those displaying their vehicles and with the visitors coming along to admire the eclectic range of classic cars and motorcycles.
“As chairman, I was very concerned that, due to a lack of volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to put a show together for 2025. However, I am very pleased to say that following our appeal, a largely new cohort of enthusiastic volunteers has come forward and we are very much looking forward to building on the success of last year’s show.”
Alan commented: “The extra space at the Recreation Ground has given us the opportunity to expand the numbers of vehicles on display, at over 200 vehicles, it's double that we were able to accommodate at the previous venue on Eastgate. We also have a wider range of trade stands, caterers and community-based displays for people to enjoy, as well as taking the time to enjoy all of the other events taking place in the town at the same time.”
Gates open to the public at 10.30am on Saturday September 6 and the show carries on until 4pm.
Visitors can view cars and motorcycles on show from all over the country, together with club stands, local businesses, food, drink, ice cream, trade and memorabilia stands.
There will also be a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight flypast.
Public entry is free but you are sked to kindly consider bringing a small cash donation for the chosen local charity which this year is Rainbow Stars support hub for young people with additional needs and their families.
The team are still taking entries for cars and motorcycles.
