A word from the Editor

 

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of our Newsletter.

A great deal has been happening at Hungerford and Wallingford Arcades over the past weeks and there is still a lot to come.

 

We are all enjoying this fantastic summer, one we thought we would never see this year.  I was just thinking how wonderful it is to see everyone happy and smiling and walking along with a spring in their step.

 

We would like to thank all our customers from home and abroad who have visited Hungerford and Wallingford and supported us no matter what the weather threw at them.  You are very much appreciated – thank you!

 

Now sit back, relax and have a look at all the exciting things that have been going on.

Classic Car Show – Sunday, 12th May

 

Our twice a year classic car show was outstanding with so many beautiful vehicles arriving one after the other.  It was a wonderful sight to see them all parking up outside Hungerford Arcade.

 

A big thank you to Mike and Colleen and all the Members of the West Berkshire Classic Vehicle Club and the private individuals who came along with their own classic vehicles to join in the show.  You all made it a very special day to remember.

 

 

There were E-Type Jaguars, Jaguar Mk2, Ford Consul, Lancia, Ford Fiesta Mk1, Austin 7, Ford Anglia, Saab, Bentley, Rover Vitesse, Triumph TR5, Dennis Fire Engine, Standard estate car, Landrovers, Jeeps and much, much more.

 

On the right, smiling away is the lovely Roy Parr and on the left is Gary with his – it looks like one of the Diddy Men!
