OUR THORNFALCON CLASSICS ANNUAL LUNCH-TIME
MEETING. SUNDAY, 6th SEPTEMBER 2009, AT THE
PLAYING FIELDS, HATCH BEAUCHAMP, NR.TAUNTON,
SOMERSET, WAS AGAIN A GREAT SUCCESS WITH
APPROACHING 1000 VEHICLES IN ATTENDANCE. MANY
VISITORS CREDIT THE POPULARITY OF OUR MEETING TO
ITS FORMAT: IT IS FREE OF CHARGE, NO BOOKING IS
NECESSARY (ALTHOUGH IT DOES HELP TO KNOW IN
ADVANCE IF CAR CLUBS AND LARGE GROUPS WISH TO
ATTEND), AND COME AND GO, AS AND WHEN YOU
PLEASE. IT IS PRIMARILY A LUNCH-TIME MEET, FROM
11.00am TO 2.30pm BUT MANY PEOPLE ARRIVE MUCH
EARLIER AND SOME STAY LATER. FURTHER DETAILS IF
REQUIRED FROM GARRY OR STEVE, BY TELEPHONE:
01823 444500 OR E-MAIL: info@thornfalconclassics.com.
Visitors arrive from all over the south of
England – a few even further. The average number
of exhibits sometimes reaches over the one
thousand mark! It is a meeting, not a show, so
your vehicle does not necessarily have to be in
pristine condition. Most makes are represented,
from the mainstream to the obscure, including
commercial vehicles and motor bikes, as well as
cars. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THIS YEAR'S
MEETING: After twelve, enjoyable, years at Hatch
Beauchamp we now have a NEW VENUE: The Parklands
by THE MOUNT SOMERSET HOTEL, Henlade, Taunton.
Again, just off the A358 east but only a mile
and a half from junction 25 of the M5 - it is
easily found, just follow the 'car meeting'
signs. Adorned with trees, this attractive and
much larger area will provide room for even more
vehicles if needed. The format will remain
exactly the same, including food available on
site, also from the Mount Somerset Hotel: 01823
442500, or bring a picnic. Even if it is poor
weather the meeting will always go ahead, as was
the case in 2008. The weather leading up to the
event was appalling, even so it was not enough
to deter the drivers of well over 600 vehicles!
