The 14th ‘Chearsley Classic & Vintage Show’ will take place on Sunday 14th September at the Chearsley Cricket Ground, on the Winchendon Road, at the edge of the village. And with several hundred vehicles already registered to attend this year’s event, the show is well on the way to meeting the target of 500 vehicles.

This year’s show will open to the public at 11am and, once again, entry and parking are free of charge.

In addition to enjoying a wide selection of Classic and Vintage vehicles, those attending will also be able to visit a range of arts & craft stalls and trade stands. There will also be a fairground and other entertainments for youngsters, a programme of live music and a wide range of food and drinks available from the bar, barbecue and specialist food trucks.

In previous years the show's programme has often included a ‘flypast’ provided by the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and they have kindly confirmed that this will once again take place during the afternoon of this year’s show.

The show will feature a series of awards, including two trophies in memory of two of the show’s great supporters over the years, Fred Crawford and Keith Turnbull. They include an award for ‘The Coolest Car’ which will again be chosen by youngsters visiting the show.

Funds raised during the show will be invested in the development of Chearsley Cricket Club, including Juniors’ and Womens’ teams.

In addition donations are made to a range of charities. In recent years, these have included ‘The Chearsley Village Trust’, ‘Thames Valley Air Ambulance’, ’The RAF Benevolent Fund’, ‘The Florence Nightingale Hospice’, ‘Thames Valley Air Ambulance’ and ‘The Nic Willoughby Fund’, in memory of a much-loved former player, who lost his life tragically at the age of 22 to an undiagnosed heart condition.

“We are delighted with the progress we’ve made with our show over the years, and we continue to receive tremendous feedback from many attending,” said Chearsley Cricket Club Chairman, Terry Gadsby

“In addition to creating interest for car enthusiasts, we’ve always aimed to provide an excellent day out for families and others visiting the show. Once again, we have a great event in prospect, and we’d like to express our appreciation to all the volunteers from our local community (a.k.a. ‘Team Chearsley’) who’ll help make it all happen again this year, and the many sponsors who’ll be supporting this year’s show.”
