Woodvale Rally 2016 - the Latest Show Update

THIS year’s Woodvale Rally was a success, despite the extremely heavy rain on the Sunday, which kept some of the exhibitors away, and stopped play, the numbers of visitors flocking to the Victoria Park where, in even larger numbers than ever since it moved to its new home. But the rain did not put off the owner of the oldest surviving Vulcan motorcar in the world from returning home. This amazing car was on display on the Sunday and drew in a large crowed..

TThe twin cylinder model, made by The Vulcan Motor and Engineering Company, in Southport, in 1904, was a joy to see. At 1 stage, the 2 seater even had Mr England, Chris Bramell and also Miss Liverpool, Molly McEntee-Morris excited. Also on display was a 1907 Paterson with many other nostalgic classic and vintage cars and trucks. Also attending this year’s show was Chloe Brown our newly crowned Miss Southport 2016. That was not forgetting TV presenter Jonathan Thompson and the Mayor of Sefton. Other highlights included the fantastic Unite Southport Taekwondo display, Jema Leopold and her fantastic pony and horse show, over 700 Morris Dancers, static and moving steam engines, the Skelmersdale Prize Band, Mike Byrne and the Sunrockers, the West Lancs. Canine Centre Dog Display Team, the 125 Battery Field Company, Army Reserves of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME), and many more!

Feedback has been extremely good, especially due to the return of the model aircraft, so please let us know what you thought of this year’s show via emailing us to:- News24@SouthportReporter.com... For further information about the show, please also visit:- WoodvaleRally.Com
