New Year's Day at Vintage Stony
Description
New Year’s Day Vintage Car and Motorcycle Gathering
Starting at 09.30am, showcases pre-1940 cars and bikes, which have pride of place in the Market Square.
Expect to ‘see’ a great deal of Vintage cars and bikes and even a few commercials, expect to ‘hear’ a cacophony of engines as they celebrate the New Year with ‘one minutes noise’ at midday, followed at 12.30, by an unmissable awards presentation, expect to ‘eat and drink’ at one of the many pubs and restaurants and stalls that open up especially to welcome you. Oh, and you can expect a free bacon butty if you are one of the first of the vintage pilots to arrive. The event ends at 2.00pm but you are welcome to linger longer and take advantage of the hospitality that Stony Stratford offers.
It’s free for spectators and drivers but donations to Willen Hospice would be appreciated. They need to raise an astonishing 4.7 million a year to make it all happen, so please give generously – every little helps and any donation no matter how small will be gratefully received.
Vehicles (and spectators) tend to arrive pretty much all morning and depart early afternoon. Although the event winds up at 2pm there is absolutely no hurry for you to leave.
12.00 ‘ A Minutes Noise’
12.30 ‘Awards Presentation’ held in the Market Square. (Not to be taken too seriously, unless you win one!!)
