Classic Cars on the Prom

[Tdm]

I am currently in Bournemouth and apparently there is a gathering of Classic Cars on the Prom by Bournemouth International Centre this Sunday. I am going to take a look, does any Forum Member in the locality take their Stag to this event, as if so will look out for it and introduce myself?

Only "Classic!?" seen here so far is this :-

I normally go but this Sunday is one of the weeks when it is not on the Prom. I don't usually go to the alternative venues as they are all-day instead of 4 - 6:30 (and further from home).

Highcliffe Rectreation Ground; 11am-5pm
August 7th (Wharncliffe Road, Highcliffe BH23 5DA)

Looks like it is back on the prom for 14th

Hi David - Thanks for update - you have saved me a wasted journey.

The misses & I are staying at Ross Court on St. John's Road, Boscombe, and today plan to get a weekly "Yellow Bus" ticket as we are using the Bus quite a bit. I presume there is a Bus Service to Christchurch near where this Sunday's event is?

It is this Sunday that our Norfolk friends are joining us, and we were planning to visit Christchurch one day, so will see if we can find the venue this Sunday. If not we are still here until the 16th so can make the Bournemouth Prom one.

Just beginning to get our bearings, and if it's nice today plan taking the sightseeing Bus that goes all round the area, so that if we see places we like, we can return there for a more leisurely visit. Finding Bournemouth a lot more expensive than Tenerife - drinking and eating out is sometimes working out 4 or more times more expensive than what we are used to back home - but I suppose that is what is to be expected in Britain these days, but it does seem more expensive than Chester where we stayed last week. Best value seems the Wetherspoon Pubs for a pint & a meal, and have so far tried the ones in Boscombe & Bournemouth Town Centre.

Just a little update for the benefit of Davidf.

Am now in possession of a weekly bus pass, and have discovered I need a 1a,1b, or 1c bus to get 1st to Christchurch, then a 111 to reach Highcliffe near where the Classic Car Show is being held.

As we planned to visit Christchurch at some time, am going to take a look at the car show 1st on Sunday (c.11.30am), then go down to Christchurch Town & Harbour etc. It will probably be just me & the misses as our friends won't arrive in Boscombe till later in the day (c. Tea time).

If it's as good as the Worthing Show last weekend its well worth the visit ,FAB

Hi Terry, How long are you in Bournemouth for? Wiltshire SOC are going to Classics on the Quay at Christchurch on Sunday 21th Aug, I am sure we could get you there from Bournemouth if that would be of interest.

Unfortunately we fly back to Tenerife on the 16th, but am going to take a look at the show at Highcliffe, Christchurch tomorrow morning.
