A MOTOR club is organising a new event to celebrate its centenary year.

Wigton Motor Club added a new event to its event programme for its centenary year. The Coronation Meander on May 3 is a 55-mile event for pre-1950 cars in the Lake District.

Organiser Ron Palmer said the Club realised longer touring assemblies may be too long and fast for older cars so this is aimed specifically at them.

It will start with coffee and biscuits at the Club’s Motor House near Cockermouth and finishes at Base Camp North on the A66 near Penrith for lunch.

It has already got a sizeable number of entries from vintage, post-vintage and post-war cars.
