Thanks to Shelton
Vineyards, we are privileged to offer one of the most beautiful show
locales ever for the Gathering's Participants' Choice Car Show! Stroll
around the beautiful grounds of the largest family-owned estate winery
in North Carolina, while enjoying the sight of great
British cars of all marques! Last year, over 200 cars attended
representing over 10 varying marques!
For an additional
treat, drop in for a Seminar
on How Stemware Can Enhance Wine or enjoy a winery tour and
tasting.
For lunch, you can
bring a picnic or, better yet, sample the wonderful faire offered by
Shelton's
Harvest Grill Restaurant. Also, a box lunch will be
available for $10 from 11am-2pm. Box lunch options include shaved Roast
Beef, Turkey, or Ham and cheese on Croissants with lettuce and tomato
and condiments. Box lunches include chips, apple, cookie, and tea,
lemonade, or water.
Register
early and save! All registrations postmarked by
March 28, 2009 will save $5 off the weekend or Saturday-only
registration fee.
Show classes are as shown in the brochure.
Classes beyond these will be determined by pre-registration as of March
28, 2009. At least two cars must be pre-registered in a class
for a 1st place award to be given. Awards beyond 1st place
will be presented in each class depending on the number of
pre-registered cars in that class.

is a good idea.

yards from the main show area. You are encouraged to arrive early if
you are bringing a trailer.
