Tatton Park VW Show

One of the best, this year’s Tatton show unearthed a whole bag full of goodies.

There’s a golden rule in the Eccles many-paged book of do’s and don’ts - ‘thou shalt not talk about the weather.’ Ever that maverick, that’s exactly what’s going to happen! Cast your eyes over the area allocated to the auto-jumble at the 2019 Tatty Park show and there were big gaps... Carefully marked out squares that were devoid of private traders. Why? The same area was bursting at the seams last year. It was the same in the trade area... Empty spaces, perhaps not that many, but nevertheless they were there. What about the bay class in the Concours? No proof of course, but either owners had got wind of who the judge was (yours truly) or something else had put them off.
