Sprat & Winkle Run (Vintage Commercial Vehicles)
11.00 am (approx)
This will be the 7th year that the Sprat and Winkle Run for commercial vehicles has been running from Sevenoaks down to Hastings to bring the Hastings Week celebrations to a close.

The Historic Commercial Vehicle Society was founded in 1958 by a group of enthusiasts who between them owned less than a dozen preserved commercial vehicles . Today the Society has nearly 2000 members who own 4,500 vehicles, such has been the growth of interest in the preservation of commercial road vehicles. Probably the best known of our activities is the annual London to Brighton run held on the first sunday in May. Further information can be found at the society`s website at or email at hcvs2011@gmail.com
The Sprat & Winkle Run attracts around 70 different commercials including buses and coaches, and now is a permanent fixture on the preservation scene, so please come along to the Stade to have a good look at the vehicles and feel free to chat to the owners and drivers who have come down to Hastings, we look forward to meeting you.
The event is named The Sprat And Winkle Run because the finish is at The Stade, Winkle Island, so we send a load of Sprats to catch the Winkle!! |
