Really sorry to hear about your mum. I lost my mum just a year ago last month so I know what a tuff time your going through. Stay strong and remember the great times you had with your mum.

Thanks Highdig and Ajo7 that means a lot

[Citroening]

Very sorry to hear that ds3r, and no worries for not being able to attend. Totally understandable.

So, just a repeat of a few details for you folks:

The full address is Burghley House, Stamford, Lincolnshire, PE9 3JY so if you've got a sat nav stick that postcode in and it'll take you there (hopefully!). If not then here's an overview of the area - main entrance is mentioned, and the other Tag is where our area is.



...here's the main entrance that you'll want to be aiming for:



Hopefully they'll have fixed the sign since Google's been around...!

[Citroening]

What a day indeed! First can I just say thanks to all those that came along. I found there was one thing wrong though...not enough time! :wink: It really did seem to fly-by...

A very encouraging turnout indeed for the second show - in total we had 111 cars though the gates. =D> This is up from 83 last year...

This year was more of an equal mix of numbers of cars in attendance and below you can see the run down. Xantia's were the most common this year!

Xantia - 23
XM - 20
BX - 20
Other Modern Citroens - 13
Other Older Citroen - 12
CX - 10
DS3s - 7
Non-Citroen - 6

Regarding the awards, these were judged and chosen by the previous year's winners and also dad, Patrick, although ultimately the decision is with the previous winner - these are also listed below:

CX
1st - CX GTi Turbo Series 1 - Jon Langman's.
2nd - CX 20 RE Safari - Andrew's.
3rd - CX DTR Turbo 2 - - Bob's.

XM
1st - XM VSX TD Estate - .
2nd - XM Onyx - .
3rd - XM SED TD Auto - Rob.

Xantia
1st - Xantia 1.9TD Estate - Neil's.
2nd - Xantia 3.0 V6 - .
3rd - Xantia Activa V6 - Shaun Lilley's.

BX
1st - BX Meteor - Gary's.
2nd - BX 16 TRS - Tim's.
3rd - BX 19 Digit - Franklin's.

The Shed of the Show was awarded to Barry Annell's BX Estate (that's two BXs that have won Shed of the Show now...) :wink:

The Special Prize was awarded to Brian Primmer for many dedicated years to CCC Rallies with parts being brought along and advice being given.

Unfortunately I didn't seem to take many photos (just over 40!) but I'll get cracking with the editing tonight and get them posted up. Looking forward to other people's photos.

Good to see faces old and new, spent most of the day chatting and apologies to those I didn't get around to having a chat with.

Thanks to all that came along which is promising for future meets hopefully.

Hi all looked like you had a good day just let you know my mum passed away in the early hours of today peacefully.

[Citroening]

Condolences, ds3r...

Managed to finish off going through my pictures of the day. As mentioned before, due to spending most of the time chatting I only took 41 pics which is quite unlike me...

Here's a general overview of the field - taken later on in the day so near to the 111 cars that were in attendance overall:



Bit closer up this time, with all but the CXs and a couple of Ds:



The Xantia's were definitely out in force this year - 23 which was the highest of all model's there:



Few more Xantia's:



More:



Darren's V6 was tasty although the wheels divided opinion - (notice the number of wheel nuts...):



Good to see a nice turnout of XMs too (20):



Jim's XM 24v V6, Rob's XM SED, Geoff's latest XM - V6 24v, and Vince's XM 2.1TD?



BXs were out in force too with 20 in attendance, although a bit down on last year's 26:



My BX Digit, aka Project X was in attendance:



Nice selection of CXs were present too (10), but would have liked more:



Jon's Series 1 GTi Turbo that he's restored was looking fab (1st prize winner):



Very nice to see HKY once again:



Some Modern Citroens turned up too, with Mike's Visa and Luke's Vel Satis sneaking in:



Other Modern Citroens mixing with the old:



My C4 was in attendance too, lowering the tone:



Good to get some pics with Peter's very nice C4 VTS 180:





All in all an excellent day all except for there not being enough time - it really did seem to fly by...

Good to see faces old and new, spent most of the day chatting and apologies to those I didn't get around to having a chat with.

Looking forward to other people's photos too.

Sorry to hear that and my thoughts are with you and your family. My mom passed away in Feb and know what your going through.

[AJ07]

Hi all looked like you had a good day just let you know my mum passed away in the early hours of today peacefully.

I am sorry ds3r

[ds3r]

Thanks all for your kind words.
