THE second Stow Motor Show is being held on Saturday, July 12 this year.

The event, which follows the success of last year's inaugural show at Stow Rugby club, promises to be a more organised but lower key affair than last year, according to organiser and rugby club chairman Ben Eddolls.

"Exhibitors and visitors alike can have a relaxed day in the wonderful setting of the rugby club," said Ben.

There will be a section dedicated to rally cars and any vehicle with links to or incorporating the number 7, which Ben hopes will ensure a variety of machinery to join the others on display.

As last year, there will be a war zone with a Sherman tank being put through its paces, alongside jeeps, army lorries and other military equipment.

An aerial attack will come in the form of Bo Maggs and her helicopter, dropping golf balls in aid of charity A "dead mans curve" will be filled with motorcycles of all with their riders showing off their prowess on two wheels in the ring.

"All types of vehicles are welcome including cars, tractors, lorries, just about anything that moves and can transport people or goods," said Mr Eddolls.

As well as the motorised vehicles, the show will offer fun for the whole family with a bouncy castle, quad bikes, a mini tug o' war and the horse-drawn Hook Norton Brewery dray.

There will also be an all-day bar and food from the barbecue and Cat's Cafe.

Once the show itself has wound down the evening will come alive to the sounds of local bands and DJs playing music into the night, with plenty of caravan and camping space.

"Theres no excuse not to stay and enjoy the whole day,"said Ben.
