This year the picnic was held at the Halton Region Museum which is inside the Kelso Conservation Area. This was just about as perfect a setting as one could want. A small vale for the cars and a friendly helpful staff. The day had some sunshine and some drizzle , but what is a British car show without precipitation of one sort or another. There was a whole park to discover and a local museum to explore. There was however no food. When we say picnic we mean picnic. Thank heaven there was some frozen yogurt and cold drinks.
