My mate Colin, who works at Halton Combined School, put a post on social media asking anyone with a classic vehicle if they would like to pop down to a School community day / fund raising event that the school had arranged for today, Saturday 29th. The day would consist of: live music, classic and modern cars, motorbikes, B-B-Q, bar, bouncy castle, ice cream van, campfire and bushcraft, along with a host of other activities. As Colin is a mate, and that Halton Village is only about 5 miles from home, and they had both a BBQ and an ice cream van, how could I possibly resist going along.

Colin took his lovely early bay. |
Just sat in the bus having a cuppa out of the hot sun, looking across at all the many varied stalls. |
Suzie had to sneak into the photo! |
Halton has an R.A.F. base and the RAF Police brought along one of their vehicles, the kids loved the lights and siren. |
Entertainment for the day was provided by this cool guy banging out the tunes on his guitar on the back of a lovely old pick up truck. |
So that was the Halton School community day, overall a very pleasant way to spend a few hours on a Saturday. I chatted to lots of people asking about my bus, and most of them had memories of either having a bus, their parents having a bus or someone they knew having one. It was great to hear their memories and stories. This wasn't as big as the shows / events I normally attend, but sometimes small varied shows can still be as interesting, as was the case today.
