Jan & Paul Gerring kindly invited members of AMOC to attend a 'tea & cakes in the garden' party in aid of the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund, a favourite charity of Jan's.
Their garden was graced by a dozen Astons (from DB4 to GT8) and a variety of other classic and historic cars.

Even the Stig manages to grab some cake!
Thank you Jan for baking a great quantity of great cakes; Paul for a great quantity of great cars and members far and wide for a great afternoon of chat and summer pleasantries!
The event raised £270 for the RAF Benevolent Fund (plus Gift Aid) so a huge thank you to everyone who made this event such a success. See here the letter of acknowledgement from the charity
