A couple of weeks ago, we were honoured to host the 51st annual Kildrummy Veteran and Vintage Vehicles Rally and Run.  A huge selection of beautiful vintage cars and motor-cycles congregated on our front lawn for judging and pictures before heading out for a drive in the stunning Deeside countryside.

The club was created in 1958 by a local landowner and vintage car enthusiast.  His vision was a single event to get a selection of cars together and show them off to fellow devotees and to the general public.   His event was such a success that the club was founded and the vintage extravaganza has become an annual event attracting a fantastic range of cars, motor-cycles and lorries of yester-year. 

The weather was kind to us and the turn-out was amazing.  Not just the number of vehicles on display, but also the number of spectators who came to marvel at them.  Visitors were able to wander freely between the exhibitors, to admire their engines and even to sit in some of them.  We put on an outside burger stall to take some of the pressure off our coffee shop and it proved to be a great hit – Ken didn’t get to sit down all day. 

Guests who had turned up for a normal activity session got a wonderful surprise as their hour or two of quad biking and kart racing turned into a whole day event with an activity session, vintage rally and lunch.  The Kildrummy Club have already booked their event with us for next year - Sunday 21st June 2009, so get in quick and book your activities, or at least reserve a slot in your diary to come along and check out the cars.
