And another Touring Assembly …

Apologies if you receive this email more than once, it must mean you’re very popular!

Last year we hosted a tribute to our late friend Steve Johnson, whom we lost in May 2025.

The support last time was so brilliant we have decided to continue the legacy and hold the event again this year. As we did last time, the event will be held on the Sunday closest to Steve’s birthday, this time on October 18th.

We have a fantastic, approx 55 mile, touring assembly planned starting from Uncle Henry’s at Grayingham and finishing at Blyton Ice Cream.

This event is open to all cars (no age limits) that are road legal and will be as much a social event as it will be a touring assembly. Similar in style to this years Border Classic.

To make the event as inclusive as possible, we have a novice and expert option. Novices will have route instructions by a tulip book and the experts will get 12 car style instructions.

All proceeds from the event will be donated to St Andrews hospice who cared for Steve and supported his family in these difficult times.

Kind regards

With only 6 weeks to go until the Gerry Blythe Memorial Classic Car Tour, I thought it would be a good opportunity to update you on the event. We have received a good foundation of entries thus far (thank you to everyone who has entered to date), the road book is coming along nicely and the plates have been printed. We’re gathering ideas on what to include in the goody bags this year, and the venues are preparing themselves for a busy day!

I also wanted to confirm that there is still space available on the Gerry Blythe Memorial Tour, so if you were thinking about putting your entry in, now would be a great opportunity to reserve your place so you don’t miss out. I would also like to confirm that we plan to send out our final instructions in the preceding 1-2 weeks prior to the event.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards,

I am contacting you as a previous entrant of the Haunted Lincolnshire Classic Car Tour as we are full swing in planning for this year’s event, though this year will see some changes. Firstly, I’d like to apologise to anyone for whom this news is reaching you for the first time, however we are very saddened to share the news that our Father, Gerry Blythe, who began this event alongside me over a decade ago, sadly passed away in January this year. He is so sorely missed and we felt it only fitting to honour his name by changing the previously known Haunted Lincolnshire Classic Car Tour, to the Gerry Blythe Memorial Classic Car Tour. It feels only fitting given how big a part of his life the motorsport community was, including everyone who has joined us in past events. He considered so many of this community his friends, and I’m sure he would be delighted to know that his name has been honoured in this way.

For the past few years we have been grateful to receive a nearly full entry, so we would encourage early entries to guarantee your place on the event.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks,
Kind regards,

Good Afternoon,

Thank You for your entry for The Border Classic 2026.

Just a couple of updates ahead of the event.

Unlike previous years and as a result of our shorter route, there will be no lunch halt in this years route. We therefore recommend bringing enough refreshments to keep you going throughout your journey.

The finish & awards ceremony will be at 7 Lakes Country Park, Crowle. Food will be available from the onsite bar & restaurant should you wish to book a table.

Final instructions and Road Books will be sent in a separate email tomorrow morning. Please print these before joining us on Sunday. If you require a printed version, please request this as soon as possible as we will not have printing facilities with us at the start.

If you know of anyone who may wish to run at the event, we still have entries available, please point them in our direction!

Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday.

Kind Regards
Phil Woodcock, Helen Woodcock & Alex Flodman
