Event Report
Held at our annual Fall Fair, we joined the traditional Classic Car Show in a new "Green Class", winning an award from the Fair organisers. Over the weekend period, public interest was continual in spite of intermittent rain. It is clear from many comments that more Electric Vehicles will be acquired as a result of our show. We will certainly participate in the Fair next year.
