May means Mendip Tour month is finally here! The entry list was full some time back – but you can still come and see the 150 + cars on Cathedral Green Wells from 2pm on 18th May. Please note there is no parking on the Green or the roads leading to it on the day, so please use public car parks.
Last weekend was Drive it Day and the C&H event was just great! A lovely start location and fantastic run down through South Somerset and Dorset. So many classics out on the roads – it was great to see!
