A Preview Of the Merrie Mill Farms 5th Annual Vintage British Car Show by Dave Eames:
Since I have come to know Guy Pelly, an Englishman and co-owner of the Merrie Mill Farm and Vineyard, I have sponsored every one of these events since they started in 2021. Following each of these car shows, I meet with Guy and we review what went right and what could be improved. So after last year’s event I asked several of our members for their comments and two areas of improvement were noted which both related to the lack of food and music “Britishness”. I therefore recommended that Guy invites “The Pie Guy” and “Local Vocals” and this year he has managed to secure them both. Shirley and I have sampled The Pie Guy’s pies which reflect his training when he worked at a bakery in Australia (a former British Colony!) We have also seen Local Vocals on numerous occasions; they play music from the 60s & 70s and will be the best band this British car show has seen so far! Check out their website for a sample of their music.
A few days ago, Guy emailed me this flyer advertising the event. I think we, as a club, should continue spreading the word for Guy and copying it to all of our local Virginia British car clubs…I will provide an event update and a reminder in the August Newsletter.
