The "Wednesday
Wander" is a invitation event that had in the past been
organised by Bryan Goodman and Tim Harding, both members of the VCC, VSCC,
and of the Surrey Vintage Vehicle Society. Regretfully both Bryan and Tim
have since passed away, and the Covid era has intervened. The event has
now been picked up again by Tim's brother Andy Harding and Tony Oakes who
had organised the last event. The Wednesday Wander is a non-competitive
event intended for 'vintage era cars'. This year the starting point was
the Pheasant at Buckland where participants met for coffee at 10.00 hours.
The event involves meeting at a starting point, being given a 'Tulip
Roadbook' navigation instructions, subsequently navigating the route, and
eventually meeting for a communal lunch at the finish. The run was just
under 30 miles finishing at 1pm for lunch at the Parrot at Forrest Green.
The Parrot is a bit of a tardis, - small from the outside but enormous and
lovely on the inside, as well as having a massive awning covered area at
the back. The Parrot provided an excellent cold buffet lunch which beat the assembled
masses so some of it went back. The event was marginally smaller this year but was nevertheless much enjoyed by the
participants and is likely to be
repeated.
