Wells car fans in for a spring treat

Wells vintage and classic car owners are

being urged to enter a charity event being held in May. 

The Mendip Vintage and Classic Tour ends on

Wells Cathedral Green on Sunday, May 15, and entries are now open. 

This will be the 17th year that the Mendip

Vintage and Classic Tour has been held, organised by the Classic and Historic

Motor Club. 

The event is open to cars, light commercial

vehicles and motorcycles manufactured before 1991, and money will be raised for

Riding For the Disabled, which has a

branch in Burcott. 

This year the start will be at Puxton Park,

near Weston-super-Mare, just off the Congresbury/Bristol A370, and about half a

mile from Junction 21 M5. 

The route will take entrants through to

Banwell and the Loxton Valley, across to Wedmore, Congresbury and on to

Clevedon for a lunchtime stop at Clevedon Hall. 

This is said to be a magnificent venue,

where the tour organisers are able to offer entrants pre-booked lunches, and

has excellent facilities for those who may wish to picnic. 

The afternoon route will take the drivers

from Clevedon to Portishead, then across to the Chew Valley and on to the

finish on the spectacular Cathedral Green at Wells. 

The presentation of prizes will take place

here, and entrants will be served a picnic tea while being entertained by the

Grey Dogs Jazz Band. 

It promises to be a spectacular event for

the entrants and the punters watching the glorious machinery from the roadside.
