Unfortunately, Paul will not be able to attend. I will be standing in for him. This is a public event and cars will be accepted into the display areas up until 10.00. Even if you have not registered, places remain available. For those not familiar with Stonehaven, Mineralwell Park is on the north side of the town and is accessed via a narrow lane along the west side of Cowie water, see image below.
