Wow, what a day!

We've finally finished collecting and counting the money raised from the Classic Car Show & Autojumble on the 16th August and we're staggered!

If you were there you'll know the weather on the day was glorious. We had 1,100 classic vehicles booked in, over 25% more than 2008, plus more clubs and stall holders than last year. The museum at Brooklands had a stand for the first time and we welcomed Mark Evans and Ian Wren back into the commentary box to preside over a full day of arena events, including the ever popular demonstration by the Cranleigh Fire Service, supported by St John Ambulance.

The good weather brought out another 200 classic vehicles and as some of the 5,000 enthusiastic people that came to the show commented, there wasn't enough time to see all of the vehicles.

You may have seen some quite amazing vehicles including the colossally expensive modern day Rolls Royce Phantom, the 1939 Leyland Cheetah Harrington glass roofed observation coach, the 1950's Metropolitan and many fantastic restorations of everyday and more exotic vehicles.

There are some pictures from the day below and many more on Flickr and videos on YouTube.

With a visibly fuller showground we did expect to make a bit more profit than last year, but the total came as a shock, at over £16,000. This is money we can put to good use in the community and make a substantial donation to Surrey based CHASE Hospice Care, who provide care and support to children with a life limiting illness and their families.

The Cranleigh Lions would like to thank everyone who was involved with or attended the Classic Car Show, we couldn't do what we do without each and every one of you, thank you.

Next year's show will be on Sunday 15th August 2010 at the Cranleigh Showground from 9am to 4:30pm. If you would like to bring your classic vehicle along, and remember the vehicle, driver and one passenger get in free, you will be able to register your classic vehicle online from February 2010.
