Well done you guys for making the effort and those of you who are going to Porthcawl tomorrow, the sun will be shinning for you and itâs a free show, but please support the charity generously.

Hi all,
My very good friend and member here,SteelboyF10 had a brilliant idea recently.last Friday was the 10th anniversary of a very sad loss to the regulars on the truck show/road run circuit.John Ward from oadby Leicestershire suddenly passed away during September 2007.too mark this SteelboyF10 thought of The John Ward memorial run to my home town of porthcawl.A few of us met up at schifnal Shropshire on Friday night and then in beautiful weather on Saturday had a great run down the A49 to Leominster and over the Brecon Beacons for porthcawl.A brilliant idea graham,thanks to all for a great weekend!
P.s. How do you rotate photos?
