2021 Events

Despite the limitation on events this year due to Covid and Government restrictions only finally being lifted on 19th July 2021, here in Wessex Section a series of outdoor picnics was quickly under way to herald a return to our social programme

Let the feasting begin - happy campers at Ashley & Nick’s pleasure grounds - our members brought out a splendid array of cars despite the apparent fuel shortages

Salisbury Picnic

New Forest Picnic

Our electrifying picnic event in lush green pasture near the New Forest in August brought out some beautiful Bentleys, regal Rolls-Royces and two pre-war sporting Rileys from the Wessex Section of the Riley Register. What a combo. Photos: Gary Trinder
