PAUL Redshaw, with his 1927 Morris Cowley Empire, was the oldest participant in Weymouth Vehicle Preservation Society’s Dorset Tour, which featured a superb static display at Lodmoor Country Park.

Paul’s car won the “Best Pre-War” trophy, with some sixty classic and vintage vehicles taking part in this annual event.

When accounts are finalised, organisers are looking forward to handing over a total of approximately £750 between the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance and the South Dorset Talking Newspaper.

THE Friends of Radipole Park and Gardens are proud of the new picnic benches which they have provided next to the children’s play area, to encourage more families to use the facilities.

Friends chairman, Philip Grout-Smith said: “Throughout weekends and school holidays the site is extremely busy, so it’s ideal that parents can make even more of their trip by bringing a picnic and sitting in comfort.”

Anyone wishing to join the friends of RPG may telephone 838297.
