We were up early to prepare for the
show in Veenendaal. The weather was sunny and warm, but the
day was interrupted by numerous five minute rain showers.
The
show was arranged by The Veenedaalse Oldtimers Club and we were
invited as special guests.
On arrival at the show we booked in and received vouchers for free
food and coffee and a pass for the barbeque, which was to be held
later that night, to round off our day.
|

|
A lot of interest was shown by the
Dutch people in our Falcons.
The Dutch people were very friendly and
helped us on many occasions. |
|
|
|
There were many beautiful classic
cars on show and in an outstanding condition, like this gorgeous
Renault. |
 |
| |
|
|

|
This is a beautiful 1930 Citroen.
There were many more classics ranging from
later Citroens to Morris Minors, MG's, Rolls Royce, American
cars, old Peugeots, DKW, Fiat Simca. |
| |
|
| I was pleased to see this lovely
Triumph Mayflower from 1950.
This model was one of my favourite cars,
when I was a boy. Many, many years ago. |

|
|
|
|
|

|
The line up of Falcons was
impressive.
This is one end of the line, I counted 22
JBA's at the show. |
| |
|
| Some others were parked in this
area. |

|
| |
|
|

|
The children were in awe at these
model trucks, which raced round the track at various times of
the day.
The kids were nice
and polite and they can speak English. They did not clamber over
the cars at the show, like some of the children at UK shows
do. |
|
|
|
|
Music and Entertainment was provided by Midland
105.6 FM radio station.
They broadcast details of the show over the
radio. |

|

|
Mid afternoon during the show, we
were invited to take part in the run round the city of
Veenendaal with the VOC.
Two lots of 70 cars left from the showground
at different times. We had a Police escort of two motorcycle
out riders. |
|
|
|
 John and Judy Shaw were awarded the prize for
the best JBA Falcon by the V.O.C. Their two tone Falcon Tourer
looked superb. Well done!. |

|
|
There was one hiccup at the end of
the show. We were about to take part in another tour, but
just as we were about to set off, the heavens opened up delaying
some of us, but as we were last, we got lost. Unbeknown to us, the
run was cancelled. Due to the heavy downpour a mix up was caused and word
did not get down to the end of the line.
We decided to head for the Tennis
Club where the barbeque was to be held and were invited in. While
waiting for the rest of our party to arrive we were given coffee and
rolls. It was about two hours before the rest arrived, they had
all went back to camp.
|
|
|
|
|

|
The BBQ was arranged by the
Veenendaalse Oldtimers Club and once again, we were all
invited.
There was
a lovely spread laid on for everyone.
We had a great evening talking
to to our Dutch friends.
|
|
There
was a video of the day showing all our Falcons along with their
beautiful classic cars and the run, showing on a large screen.
Our thanks must go to the organisers of the
V.O.C. for a wonderful show and an excellent barbeque and to the Veenendaal Police
Department for a beautiful run round their
city. Our thanks to you all.
