Holywell Classic Car Show proves popular despite bad weather
Held on Saturday (June 7), the Holywell Classic Car Show drew in some wonderful vehicles from years gone by. Held in memory of Douglas Bedford and Cadi Edwards, cars of all shapes and colours decorated the high street of the town. Plenty of stalls were also on hand to keep guests entertained and a trophy was also handed out for the best in show, Carl Jones' MK1 RS2000. Despite the bad weather, the event was enjoyed by people of all ages. Holywell Town Council said: "Despite the best efforts of the weather, Holywell was full of classic cars on Saturday at The Holywell Classic Car show." They added: "The Mayor was in attendance to present the prizes, including to the winning Ford Escort." The Mayor, Matt Sprake, said: "Days like this are a reminder that cars aren't just machines, they're memories and stories. "Modern cars may be smarter with lane assist and parking sensors, but this weekend saw the town centre filled with classics who had swagger, elegance, and charisma in abundance. While the rest of us own cars, the ones on display were loved, like stars from the golden age of Hollywood; ageing and glamorous, with an essence of unpredictability, yet still turning heads decades after their prime. "It was a privilege to present prizes to the winners and a huge thanks to Carl Bedford, and the rest of the organisers for making this event happen, along with all the exhibitors who braved the weather to put their hard work and efforts on show." Organiser Carl Bedford said: "The event is held in memory of my dad Douglas Bedford, dementia took him too soon, and my grand-daughter Cadi Edwards who we sadly lost too. "All money raised (£516) is given to the 2Wish Charity who have supported all our family through the pain of losing a child."
