On Saturday 4 June, the Classic Car Show returned after a two-year hiatus and ended with a spectacular flypast from a Lancaster Bomber.

Held on the grounds of the College, around 2,500 spectators were able to get up close to some beautiful classic cars, scooters and motorbikes. The show is organised by Assistant Head, Boarding, Tom Cheney who said: “After a two year gap, I was delighted to bring this event back to the community. We had over 250 cars on display and raised over £5,000 which has been split between the Footsteps Foundation which supports children with neurological issues, and The Nabugabo Learning Community in Uganda.”

College staff, parents and ex-parents at the school all gave up their time and helped with the show’s organisation and running, while classic car owners came from Bristol, Stroud, Chichester and other places around the country to display their vehicles.”

Tom continues, “We have been very lucky over the past four years to have been backed by local businesses such as H. R. Owen dealership, who are based in Pangbourne Village and have always brought a great selection of new Aston Martins, Bentleys and Lamborghinis for spectators to look at and sit inside. 

We have also been supported by Kingdom Coffee which provides refreshments and cream teas throughout the day, with all profits donated to the charities. Further thanks goes to the Pangbourne Village Silver Band, who entertained our visitors throughout the afternoon.”
