The annual show in 2024 returned with a large turnout of road vehicles and motorbikes, although the weather wasn’t as good as the previous year’s event, but it certainly didn’t deter the exhibitors, petrolheads and their families, writes Rich Kelsey.
The Sharpness 150 Gathering (renamed in 2024 from the ‘Sharpness Faithful’) was started many years ago by Ken Faithful, a well-known local vintage commercial vehicle enthusiast.
This year’s event was managed by Martyn Slater with assistance from the Stroud Vintage Engine Club volunteers and helpers. The show started at 3pm at Sharpness Dockers Club (a friendly and well run not-for-profit community facility), admission to the show was by donation only.
The annual mid-week rally is a casual drop-in for showcasing vintage classic cars from pre- and post-war, including classic American cars, lots of motorbikes and scooters, trucks, military vehicles, and buses, dating from the early 1900s to the modern era.
As you can see from the photos it was a great turn out, and chance to socially chat all things motoring and more. Wings and Wheels Society Dursley say many thanks to Martyn, the SVTEC team and all volunteers, helpers and exhibitors, plus the Dockers Club folks that all worked hard to make this gem of a local gathering happen, cheers to you all, keep up the excellent work.
