What happened in 2010? Engine EnthusiastsThe show took place on Saturday 1st & Sunday 2ndMay. Once again it was a successful show attracting thousands of visitors throughout the day to enjoy a huge variety of classic cars, steam engines, tractors, military vehicles, motorbikes and more. The arena was main stage for various parades and displays, and stalls and activities kept everyone amused throughout.

How did it all start? Border Counties Vintage Club was 32 years old in 2010. It all started when a small band of enthusiasts met at the Crown Hotel, Whitchurch to form a vintage club to foster interest in vintage vehicles and machinery.

In the early years the shows were held at fields in Whitchurch until more space was needed and it moved to Speech House, Forest of Dean. For the 30th Anniversary show in 2005, the club realised that once again it would need a larger venue, which is when it relocated to it's current home at Vauxhall Fields Monmouth.
