With over 60 classic vintage cars on display, the MP also awarded the ‘Best in Show’ prize to a 1955 Black Austin A50 Cambridge Saloon, owned by Mr and Mrs Maruda.
Alberto said, “I was delighted to attend the Rotary Club of Lutterworth’s fantastic Annual Plant, Craft & Food Fair in the beautiful surroundings of Misterton Hall, and I was honoured to again be invited to present the prize for ‘Best in Show’ to one of the many lovely vintage cars on display.
The Rotary Club’s Annual Fair is a firm favourite for the people of South Leicestershire, and I was so pleased to see lots of visitors again taking the time to come along to this wonderful event. I would like sincerely thank the Rotary Club of Lutterworth for all of their work in organising such a fantastic event, and for their ongoing and extraordinary fundraising efforts”.
President of the Rotary Club of Lutterworth, Mr Roger Rose, added, “It was a brilliant day and the Rotary Club of Lutterworth would like to thank Martin Iliffe and his team of Rotarians that were there to support him. All the stall holders for offering such a great retailer experience, the vehicle owners for a super show and all the volunteers who made this event possible.”.
