🚘 Good luck to Garry Mannion in his Fiesta ST180 this year. 🚘

Next race is Tour of Epynt in August which he’s bound to do well in as the logo on his bonnet will make him much faster.

Good luck Gar πŸ‘πŸΊπŸ‘πŸΊ

Wow.... What a day yesterday in the sun. Experience The Beatles - Tribute Band and The Greedy Souls - Oasis Tribute you did us all proud.

Already booked them again for summer 2027.

Special shout out to Iolo Evans the young lad that knew every word to every Oasis song so 'Liam' got him up on stage.... We had tears in our eyes watching. As 'Liam' said.... 'The future of rock 'n' roll'.

Next week, we have DMF Band which we know will be a day not to be missed.
