I spent the day finishing off the final touches cleaning the Bug ready for tomorrows Car Show organised by SCS. It was a fairly warm day which made it a little harder han normal. Finally the bug was ready and everything was loaded.

Today I went along to the SCS Show held at the Lavendar Line in East Sussex. It was the first time that SCS had visited the Lavendar Line for a show (the previous month they had a breakfast meet). The show ground is large and can easily hold 250-300 cars if needed (provided it doesn't rain). The backdrop was the railway line, which currently is 1 mile long, they hope to get more funds to make the line longer and provide different trains and services. The station shop is nice and there are many items to buy. The signal box has been left as was and you can see all the levers which the signal man needed to move to get he trains on the right lines. It was a great day out, well worth it.

This month saw SCS hold their show at the Bluebell Railway, specifically at the Horsted Keynes station. The show was staged in their carpark all the way up the hill. The slope makes it a challenging event to park cars, thankfully the weather was nice and dry. It was a nice show. At one of the Autojumble stalls I managed to pickup a lovely Dinky Toys Car Transporter to go into my collection, I have since put it on display with 4 Dinky Toys VW Beetle's sitting on the trailor.

My Mum and Dad brought Gertie down to the Caravan this weekend as tomorrow is the SCS Show. It was one of those days where the sun came in and out, the clouds came and went as did the gentle breeze. I was just glad it didn't rain!

This month saw SCS hold their home show at the Worthing Rugby Club just outside Worthing along the A259. It was another mixed day, it started overcast with a little drizzle but come midday the sun was shining and a good day was had by all. There was quite a variety of cars from the early 1900's to the 2010's.

The last show of the year for me was visiting the Southern Classics Show held at Borde Hill Gardens in West Sussex. This is quite a unique show as all the cars are packed onto the front lawn which can make it feel quite small and perfectly formed. This show is always well supported, even if it is the nominated Charity Show for the club. If you get bored with the Cars on display you can have a walt around the gardens and admire the many various plants and sculptures that festoon the grounds. If you are very lucky you might get to see wildlife such as Deer, Buzzards and Kestrels. It is well worth a viit.
