went to the monthly 'meet' there last night,told my friend it was a classic car/bike show.we got there at the start in my Herald,around 16.30,and watched hordes of modern cars allowed into the classics parking area loads of young lads in their bling-ed out motors that you can see on any supermarket car park.a few oldies managed to sneak in,but any turning up after 18.00 were directed onto the 'normal' car parking area,including a magenta Stag and a couple of pre-war's.loads of bikes there,mainly moderns and Harley's,but the majority of pre-war cars and bikes that used to go there must have found a new secret venue!

For those that do not know where this place is,it is located nr Melton Mowbry
Liecestershire.

I first attended the monthly meet about 14 years ago after a vintage car owner told me about it.

The VSCC used the village pub as a meeting place once a month.

A small following of vintage and classic motorcycles would park along a small lane running in front of the pub.

If you turned up in a classic car you had to park on one of the grass verges opposite the pub.

It was a good venue in those day`s.

A big modern motorcycle meeting place up the road at Six Hills came to and end and with nowhere to go the event was taken over by the modern bike boy`s.

Suddenly the parking became an issue.

The VSCC moved to another secret location.

The cricket club cashed in by charging all classic cars and motorcycles £1.00 to park on the field where the cricket pitch was located.

All was fine until Mr Mondeo man tried to sneak in and park his car on the field,then it was a free for all,with everyday cars using it as a car park.

It was at this point we stopped attending.

And what is your name....."Do not tell him Pike".!!!!!

I really have not bothered to find out.

I look in Classic Car Weekly or Google up "Classic Cars" and then a date to find out any meets.

There is a Classic Car meet at Melton Mowbry town centre once a month on a Friday evening.

Ashby Folville monthly show has been finished with immediate effect,at the request of the local police,due to anti-social behaviour by a minority of show-goers.
