The popular Sherborne Historic Vehicle Rally is back on Sunday, 28 August.
The event, organised by the Rotary Club of Sherborne Castles, will be held at Sherborne School Courts and will have 15 classes for veteran, vintage, classic pre-1970s cars, pre-1970s light commercial vehicles and pre-1980 motorcycles and three-wheelers, not forgetting the popular class for modern thoroughbreds post-1970 and the most suitably dressed vehicle occupants!
Sherborne Town Band will perform at the event while judging takes place and, for the visiting public, competitions and the opportunity to choose the winner of two classes will be on offer.
The rally is one of few events on the classic calendar which involves a road run followed by a static display with concours judging. It is held at Sherborne School Courts by permission of the headmaster of Sherborne School and will raise money for this year’s charity, the Friends of Yeatman Hospital. More than £50,000 has been raised for charities supported by the Rotary Club of Sherborne Castles through previous rally events.
The organisers are grateful to the sponsors of this year’s event – Broadpeak Car Storage, Brotherwood Vehicle Specialists, Greenslade Taylor Hunt and Hunts Food Group.
Anyone who would like to enter vehicles can download entry forms on the event website – www.sherbornehvr.org.uk Completed forms should be returned to the HVR Event Secretary, c/o 16, Gainsborough Drive, Sherborne DT9 6DR. For visitors to the event, the School Courts is open from 2-5pm.
