Rally 2006

In 2006 our national rally was held on Sunday 25 June at Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire, one of Britain's most treasured houses.

A dinner for members was held on the evening before at the Bell Hotel & Restaurant in Woburn village.

The rally weekend was warm and sunny allowing us to set up the site quickly which soon began to fill up with over 80 vehicles pre-entered. Others arrived on the day along with several visitors and a splendid display of cherished plates soon appeared.
