Morning All

I hope you are all enjoying the ‘Platinum Jubilee’ and various events and the associated weather! In fairness it has kept relatively dry and warmish though not sure about today!

Potential Photography Opportunities

Carrying on from last week’s newsletter, more possible events have been identified including:

The 2022 Lancaster Grand Prix

The Lancaster Grand Prix will return to Williamson Park on Sunday 17th July.

This year we have added a women’s race which will be run in the morning with the men’s event following in the afternoon.

Both races will start and finish at Williamson Park and take place over a 14.5km circuit through the beautiful countryside of the Lancaster district.

The women’s event will start at 9am and take place over six laps, with the men’s event taking place over 10 laps starting at 2pm.

I took some images from this race last year with varying degrees of success – most deleted! They do move fast!

The ‘profile’ of this race has been raised considerably from last year and I believe it will be ‘live’ on Youtube. The organisers are hopeful Sky will cover next year.

From Greg: Thanks!

Appleby Horse Fair starts Thursday 9 June 2022

RAF Cosford Air show Sunday 12th June 2022 near Stafford
Although slightly outside our local area I thought this show worth a mention for several reasons:
1. It’s the only RAF Air show left in the UK + Jubilee event.
2. Apart from the flying display this & Hendon form the official RAF museum sites with rare exhibits like TSR2, V bombers etc – much bigger site (custom designed) than you might think and well worth a day out any time of year.
3 The show also has very strong ground exhibits, including their Vintage Village manned by “in costume” personnel, period vehicles, jeeps, trucks etc Good atmosphere.
