Grand Event on the Park

Today saw the Grand Event at Grove Technology Park with all proceeds going to Helen and Douglas House.

The low cloud put paid to some of the aero displays, but otherwise the weather held and the large crowds appeared to have a great time.

Highlights included an army helicopter, climbing wall, live music, the cockpit section of a C47 Dakota plane and classic cars.

The picture shows racing driver Paul Rees in an ex-Ronnie Peterson March F1 car at the end of this excellent day.

  1. Who were the 4-piece band who played towards the end of the day? They were really good and I'd like to hire them for my engagement party, but I can't remember the name!
    Thanks
