Classic Cars Cruise into<br />
Crowds at Castle Semple<br />
This years Classics at Castle Semple was blessed with lovely autumn sunshine<br />
and fantastic crowds. Over 1,000 people came to see the classic cars as they<br />
cruised into the scenic lochside location at Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park’s<br />
Castle Semple Centre.<br />
Over 80 cars attended the event to raise<br />
funds for St Vincent’s Hospice in Howwood,<br />
a charity dear to organiser Jane Fawcetts<br />
heart. As the photo shows, this year saw an<br />
amazing total with over £1,600 raised going<br />
directly to hospice services and received<br />
by Laura McDade of the St Vincent’s<br />
fundraising team.<br />
Jane said “It’s such a special show. Great<br />
vehicles from all eras - some as early as<br />
1921. It is known as the friendly, end of<br />
season social show amongst regulars, everyone chatting and smiling. A lovely<br />
day of autumn sunshine was a real bonus for the lovely loch side location”<br />
There were two awards this year, carefully crafted by Tonya Allan of Glenouther<br />
Crafts in Ayrshire.<br />
Ray Doull of Glasgow took the Clyde Muirshiel Judges Choice Award, chosen<br />
by Regional Park Countryside Ranger Claire Devlin, in his Buick Rivera special<br />

Series 2<br />
(complete with drive-in movies speakers blasting out War of the Worlds) and<br />
Power Door Best in Show trophy went to Alan Hewitson of North Ayrshire with<br />
his immaculate Landrover Series 2 - a stunning example.<br />
It is incredible what folk have squirreled away and it certainly made for an<br />
interesting show in 20<strong>18</strong>. So save the date for Sunday 20th October 2019<br />
when Jane will be doing it all again!<br />
