The Rotary Club of Crewe & Nantwich Weaver staged its 16th annual classic & sports car event, the ‘Weaver Wander’, on Saturday, 18th May in glorious, warm sunshine at the Vagrants Sports Club in Nantwich.
120 entrants registered their cars and were able to enjoy breakfast ‘baps’ in the club premises before studying their route books & preparing their cars for the ‘Start’ on to 3 separate routes through the Cheshire, Staffordshire & Shropshire countryside, taking them back, eventually, to the Vagrants club.
At 10 am, the cars were set off by the deputy Mayor of Nantwich, Mary Slinn, waving the customary Union Jack flag, with spectators able to view a wonderful collection of classic saloon & sports cars.
The cars started arriving back at the club from 12.30pm onwards & by 2pm all of the ‘Wanderers’ were safely parked back at the Vagrants club, where a cricket match was also under way, providing some more relaxing entertainment.
