Ferndown Fete on the Field
Bournemouth & Poole MGOC will be represented at the forthcoming Fete on the Field being staged on the King George V Playing Fields at Ferndown on Saturday 21 June.
However, those interested in taking part should note that we are not taking bookings, instead you must book your place on-line via the official event website (details below) – entry fee is £5 per car (which includes a commemorative plaque on the day).
The beating heart of this event is the two grand avenues of stalls that include everything from arts and crafts to sweets, cakes and fresh market produce.
Other attractions include children’s rides on the funfair, falconry displays, music, dance and dog shows. There will also be a wide variety of refreshment outlets.
Of particular interest to club members will be the display of some 180 Classic, Custom, Commercial and Agricultural vehicles. Although billed as a Classic Car display, the organisers are allowing all 1020 club members to be part of our display no matter the age of the vehicle.
When booking in for the event (there are no on-the-day tickets) there is a drop-down section on the website form to nominate the car club you are affiliated to – Bournemouth & Poole MGOC is listed at the top. Ticking this box will ensure you are parked with us on our stand.
Access for display vehicles on the day is via Cherry Grove where a new drop-kerb has been installed at the entrance to the field to help all those of you with low slung vehicles who have experienced problems of driving over the old kerbing in the past.
The show is open to the public from 11am to 5pm. Display vehicles are asked to be on site by 10.40am. Cars can leave before the event closes, but drivers are asked to contact a marshal before they depart and they will escort you off the show site for public safety.
