On Sunday 14 August, West Berkshire Classic Vehicle Club held its annual Classic Vehicle Show in the grounds of Newbury College. Now in its 24th year, the event attracted over 4,000 visitors and featured many different exhibits ranging from a rare 1905 Fiat Fraschini, an AEC coach, to modern day classics such as the Ford Escort.
Funds raised from the event are donated to the blood cancer charity Bloodwise (formerly known as Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research).
West Berks Classic Vehicle Club Chairman, Mike Kent, said: In the 24 years the show has been running, it has raised a total of almost £129,000 to help with the fight to beat blood cancers.
We could not do this without the support of the club members, our supporters and Newbury College. Thank you for allowing us to use your wonderful venue. We were blessed with fine weather on the day and everyone had a great time.
Newbury College Contracts Manager, Steve Long, said: It was an absolute pleasure to once again host this important fundraiser for West Berkshire Classic Vehicle Club. It was great to see so many people enjoy the classic vehicles on display and have our extensive grounds used for such a worthy cause.
The total amount raised at this year's show was approximately £12,200. This includes a donation of £425 raised by Newbury Radio Control Car Club, who held races in the sports hall.
