A7 Centenary Celebration.

[Ian Grace]

Just in case anyone missed it, anyone turning up to Pre-War Prescott to spectate on Saturday 16th July (the weekend immediately prior to the Moreton-in-Marsh celebration) in an Austin 7 will be given completely free entry, and we will be parking the spectating Sevens in a dedicated celebration area in the Orchard immediately adjacent to the start line.  Spectators will have full and free access to the Paddock, the hill, catering, trade stands, and all the fun of the fair including the Centenary Austin 7 display in the Paddock, plus a grandstand view of the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight's Avro Lancaster PA474 which is due to display in the afternoon.  A lunchtime Austin 7 cavalcade up the hill is also being planned for those who enter Pre-War Prescott proper.

Full entries for Pre-War Prescott remain open at this time if you would like to join in and climb the hill.

If that is not enough to whet your appetite, we have scenic tours on Friday and Sunday, plus the Lewis & Nicholson team challenge on Sunday - the annual and hotly-contested navigation rally competition between teams of Austin Sevens and vintage Morris Minors.  There is also a Sunday lunchtime vintage picnic at the idyllic Colesbourne Manor in the Cotswolds on Sunday 17th for those entering the Sunday runs - either the navigation rally or the parallel scenic tour.  Full details and online entry for any of these events at www.prewarprescott.com or e-mail me at vintageminor@gmail.com if you have any questions or special requests.
