Next Sundays Harvest Fair at Milford Hospice has been postponed until Sunday the 14th of September. This was confirmed to me by the person in charge, Mr Eamon T. Ryan within the past hour.

This one is a good one. I was at it last year and was planning to go on Sunday. I'll still make the later date. There was a huge selection of cars there last year.

Couldnt get tickets,should be a good show up there!a few of us have a classic car run on that day:)

Weather is not great for the morning but should clear in the afternoon so should be a good day especially as it's on tarmac now and not grass. Who's going?

Bad day, didn't stop raining once, and the layout of the classic's car park was a disgrace. Alot of people were leaving early enough. Got soaked wet. Normally it's a very good day out but the rain really put people off.

Fair play to the organisers, kept in high spirits hoping the rain would go away.
Hopefully next year will be as good as the previous.`

That's a bit harsh considering it's not an official show and this venue was sourced at the last minute as the grounds of the hospice were too soggy to have thousands of people walking around.
I think the majority of people were happy with the layout as it was on solid ground. It was also very hard for them to guage how much space would be needed as they didn't know how many would show up in the rain.
At the end of the day this is a fund raising event for a hospice and not a show.

Lol i think i was being picked up wrong. People started arriving and no one was really been told where to go, so it ended up with cars being all over the place.

It was a good day out, but the rain made it very hard to enjoy, jaysus i'm after been picked up as a right ole crank lol:o

It's always the likes of this that I have the most interest in

L-M · 15-09-2008 6:38pm

There was a very clean Irish reg'd Granada at it as well. I'm sure Sean has a pic of it. Few nice cars down there.

In a way i see where you are coming from but in my honest opinion the likes of that will never be a classic. OK its and old car, but not a classic.
I was there too and i did look at it. It had a love hate thing going on.

To me a classic car is a car that brings me back a few years. An old Datsun would remind me of my childhood more than say a Triumph Spitfire.
