On the second weekend of August this year we were invited to
take part in the Invicta Military Vehicle Preservation Society (IMPS) annual
rally held at the Sellindge show ground near Ashford. The IMPS are keen to
provide a broader spectrum of stalls and exhibits at their events and as such we
were invited along to the show. They are also quite keen on us becoming
"associate" members of IMPS with whatever benefits that will bring. It's still
early days but it can only do the Club good. Thanks go to Johnny again for the
pics.
