Big thanks to Elton and Emma for organising all this and sorting the field and all the food out, really appreciated guys!

Great turnout as well, and lovely weather, can’t really moan about that 3 minutes that we had a couple of drups.

I think we should change the monthly Kent meet to a monthly Kent BBQ :lol:

Took just over 200 photo’s today, and selected the nicest out for on here :

Looks like you guys had a great day, just wished I could have made it :frowning:

So who took the 2 NA’s :lol:

and it looks like red was the colour of the day 8)

Sumed up as well organised great day. Elton and Emma i swear are proffesional at this!
And Karim the press photographer he sure has a knack with his camera yet again.

The bouncy castle was a great idea for us younger ones to!

Ray

A big thanks to Elton n Emma, great day, saw more gto’s than I saw at the agm! Weather held out and hospitality was fab. Well organised, relaxed fun day of all things GTO with a nice beer n a barbie to boot, many thanks guys it was great to put some faces to cars. On the way home saw the J22 GTO on full boost, what a car, roared past us. Steve who came wth me (the black mk2 at the end) had a surprise win too which made his day we had to stop on the way back as his aero is battered! Dan my nephew had a great day out. Really enjoyed this one, great effort all round!

Elton and Emma - what a brilliant day - a HUGE THANK YOU for organising it. And Emma’s Dad, Andy for letting the club use the field. And Karim, as ever, your photos are tops. Love that one of the little dog with the hamburger! It was great to see all of the cars lined up and sparkling in the sun. And to see everyone I.m getting to know and meet others. Max loved the bouncy castle and playing with the other children - he wants to know if he can come next year! We had a great day.

Mandy, Nicola and Max :lol:

Well what more can i say…AWESOME DAY http://www.accordr.org/style_emoticons/default/hello2.gifhttp://www.accordr.org/style_emoticons/default/hello2.gif!!!

Thank you too everyone who made an effort and turned up…despite the initial downpours it turned out too be pretty ■■■■■■ hot. I for one am pretty sun burnt :shock:

Thanks so much too Emma for doing all the shopping and arranging the bouncy castle, doing the salads, making the BRIGHT signs plus loads of other things too make the day run smoothly

Big thanks too Andy for allowing us too use his land and facilities. He has welcomed us back too make this the Annual Kent BBQ.

BIG thanks too Malc , Tracy and partner for staying behind till 7pm helping pack up.

Welldone too Steve (BHPMad) who won our non biased judges 'Favourite car ’ Compo. His black MK2 was MINT !!! nice clean standard car that was uber polished.

If i have left off any thanks, I am sorry. I has been a very long day and i am now shattered :stuck_out_tongue:

And last but very not least…Thanks too GTOUK for mostly funding today’s event.

I never got any photos of the day as i realised i had left the camera batteries at home in the charger, but did snap a few of my car on my phone once all had left.

I think it has all been said in the above, but what a great day & turnout, cheers again, good ole GTO club 8)

Oh… and nice one Elton. Excellent turn out, well organised and sorted!

You’re not alone… I too am sunburnt! Weird, given the weather - you just don’t realise how strong the sun is!
