A belated praise for all involved with the Centenary event....yes it was brilliant. On the Thursday picnic day Janet and I joined a couple, from Germany, under the shade of the spreading cedar tree with our delicious picnic hamper (and much nearer the bar!)
How did all those hundreds of people having their picnic out on the open field, beyond the tents, in the full glare of the sweltering sun survive?
Sadly my Nippy(special) was not ready to take so I had to attend in my Reliant Scimitar GTC (well it is a direct descendant of the Austin). Both of us had limited mobility with leg problems so a huge thanks to the college staff who located us in a ground floor room across from the main building with parking for the car; and for their assistance in getting a new battery through security to be delivered to the car. Thanks to the man supplying a jump start from his modern to get us mobile to get to Prescott, age has intervened to forget your name!
With our limited mobility combined with the heat Janet and I were not able to get round everything and with so many people met and chatted to and yet so many missed we could have done with the celebration having another week!!!!!!
I would have liked to have been able to have helped with some marshalling but was just not up to it.........perhaps another week next year to celebrate the 101st year
