Boston Classic Car Club Celebrate 30th Anniversary

Published: 28/10/2022

Boston Classic Car Club finally held their 30th anniversary lunch which had been delayed from 2020 because of Covid restrictions.

The anniversary lunch was held last Sunday at Graves Park Social Club and attended by a good number of members, together with spouses and partners, despite the monsoon-like weather as members arrived!  An excellent carvery menu was provided by caterer’s, Dunmore’s and was appreciated greatly by everyone.  Members also had the opportunity to look through a display of photographs, videos, memorabilia, past press reviews and club trophies, etc.  which certainly stirred the memories of many present.  Of particular note amongst the many photos on display were those of the current Chairman and founder member of the Club, John Simpson, who personified the change in fashion over the last 30 years!  (The mullet hairstyle was not universally admired, even at the time!)

A raffle on the day raised the grand sum of £115 with an auction adding a further £100 to the total and all the proceeds of which will go towards the Club’s charity for this year, the ‘We’ll Meet Again Museum’ in Frampton.

The Boston Classic Car Club has enjoyed another successful year of events with the Annual Show, held for the second year on May’s field in Hubbert’s Bridge, proving particularly popular with those who attended, despite the very hot weather on the day.  The 2023 Annual Show will be held at the same place on Sunday, 13th August. The Club has also arranged this year visits to the We’ll Meet Again Museum, The Bomber Command Memorial Centre, Belvoir Castle Engine Yard, the RNLI at Skegness, Boston Bargate Classic Car Display, Heckington Show display, Tower Gardens, Skegness, Holbeach Classic and Modified Car Show, Sleaford Classic Car Show, Celebrate Surfleet summer fete, Thorpe Camp Visitor Centre and the NEC Practical Classics Restoration Show (winning Best Stand in Show Award!).  Additionally, the BCCC has been to the forefront in organising informal meetings monthly at the Station Café, Langrick Bridge and also at The Ivys, Swineshead.  These are open to all classic enthusiasts with non-members also invited to drop in with their vehicles

The Club committee look forward to seeing another good turnout of members at the Annual General Meeting which will be held at the same venue, the Graves Park Social Club, on Tuesday, 15th November.
