No course not just get a entry form off and turn up and try some Cyder down the farm.
Well its being going since the 60/70's (i think) so SWSEC got a bit of catching up to do lol. was Started by
Percy Williams (my Granddad), Grevnille Goldworthy, Graham Travaskis and one i never meet, started on the farm you can see on the right while going up the A30 just after the Toyota garage roundabout before indian queens. was raining at some rally near there so the sheltered in a pig shed on a wall with the pigs bellow them. think they paid a pound for the year lol, History hay!

Lol thats brilliant!!

I bet there are some many good memories to tell over the past years

Does your grandad still contribute to KOVC or does he exibit?

Adam

Left to Right

Unknown (does someone know him) Grenville Goldworthy, Graham Travaskis and Percy Williams

Cheers Steve

Not anymore Sadley, Blind, and only got one hand so no more starting engines for him. been out of the circuit since 2005

Cheers Steve

Awww im sorry to hear about that!

Im sure one day someone should set a rally up for him to remember his services?

Adam

Ha doubt that, though i am a avid member and wouldnt leave, they dont no anything about the history, or really care.

Cheers Steve

Sounds like a great club, great history and photos, keep it going Steve

I remember your grandad very well, most helpful gent. The 'unknown' chap in the picture is certainly a face I recognise, but just can't remember his name.

I understand Grenville had a stroke perhaps 18/24 months ago, don't think he made any shows last year - but he did make a few this year with help from Mike Edwards amongst others.

The Barbery's are still active around the scene, Edwin often visiting and his son exhibiting.

Did Grenville have the Iron Chorehorse engine like my Cooper with a centrifugal pump at Perrenwell this year?
