Basin Armed Division Winter Gathering
NEW VENUE
The annual Military vehicle rally is changing this year! Due to the expanding numbers
at the show for the last couple of years, we are moving the event half mile down the road/seawall to the Millbeach pub (Postcode
CM9 4RA) which has more space but is still on the seawall looking over the Blackwater Estuary, Millbeach is just a bit
further on towards Goldhanger past the Basin rd turning along Goldhanger rd (less than 2 minutes further!!).
Weather
permitting, we hope for over 50 vehicles this year including Tanks, armoured cars, Ferrets, Jeeps etc along with the usual
characters in bygone army uniforms and background 40s/50s music supplied by the Millbeach.
The event is free to
the public and the owners of the vehicle are pleased to discuss the history of their vehicles and often let you have
a look inside.
Event starts at 10am through till lunchtime, hot food and refreshment available from the pub.
Vehicle owners/drivers or anybody else with interesting military kit, please contact myself (shaun@seylec.com), Jack Scott on 07798 518662 or contact the Essex MVT.
