SUN MAKES AN APPEARANCE FOR WEEKEND OF FUN
Cars are the stars at busy motor show
THE sunmay have made an ap- pearance but the cars were the stars at the Classic Cars on the Green event at Bearsted. The event raised more than £2,200 for the Kent Air Ambu- lance Trust. Organiser Philip Hill thanked everyone who supported the event, particularly main spon- sor A Glaze, those who adver- tised in the programme and traders who took stalls. He also thanked parish coun-
cillor Barbara Dunford who, he said “got us through all the 'red tape' paper procedures with Maidstone Borough Council”. The four awards presented
were as follows: Best pre-1940 car:No 37, 1929 Bentley 4.5 l Tourer - Richard
Alexander of Harrietsham Favourite post-war car: No
165, 1961 Vauxhall Cresta - Spencer Norman, ofMaidstone Most desirable car: No 94,
1967 VW Camper - Jamie Ta- plin, of Tonbridge Best sports car: No 109, 1964 Austin Healey 3000 - David Best, of Bredgar

ber draw for a flight in a heli- copter following a Spitfire was won by Keith Hoffman, of Pe- nenden Heath. However, Keith has kindly donated the prize back to KAAHQat Marden, and they will be arranging another raffle for the prize at a later date. Pictures: Jason Dodd Photography
