I asked David Lemonius to tell me about the group….
There are 3 of us who have been running the working weekend for the last 4 years and we decided to do a road run this winter as well. We have been doing it under the banner of the Ford and Fordson Association but we are quite happy to accept any make! The other two guys are Denis Pocock from Shorwell and John Butcher from Newport. We have probably raised in excess of £2000.00 over the last 4 years.
