Competitive Changes New for 2004 British Car Days Across the Bridge
 
In the 2004 British Car and Motorcycle Show, we are introducing two new features related to the judging of vehicles.
 
Not all registrants may wish to be have their vehicles entered in the judging which takes place Saturday afternoon. They will now have the option of only showing their vehicle to the general public. Vehicles not entered for judging will still be on display as always, they will just not be visited by the judges. This will take some pressure off the judges who have had to examine all cars in their judging class, even if the owner was not seriously interested in competitive judging. Any owner not wanting to have his/her vehicle entered should indicate so on the registration form. If already registered, an e-mail notice of same should be sent to Chris Spenceley, or let the person know when picking up registration materials when arriving at the show.
 
Secondly, a new prestigious category of recognition has been created for the coming year called the Concours d'Elegance Awards. Entrance in this class will be voluntary and separate from the regular judging classes. Vehicles entered in this class will not be judged for the regular class awards. It will include all makes and models in one win, place, and show competition. Owners of vehicles that have won in their class the previous year are encouraged to enter this new competition. 
 

For this year there will no difference in the registration fee if a vehicle is not entered for judging or if it is entered in the Concours d'Elegance competition.

 

New Locations

Our closing celebration on Sunday will take place this year at Confederation Centre in historic Charlottetown to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Confederation Centre and the 140th anniversary of the meeting of the Fathers of Confederation in Charlottetown. Our police escorted convoy will again be the mode of transportation.

 

Opening Ceremony

Once more we will feature pipers from the College of Piping and dignitaries to open our event under the bigger tent that will be available for participants to escape the inevitable sun!

 

Harry Stevens Memorial Trophy

We remember our friend and British car and motorcycle enthusiast, the late Harry Stevens who passed away in 2003 with a special award in his name.

 

Forget the Camera

Our friend and professional photographer Alain Boily has once again booked the weekend to capture all activities on CD Rom. A camera is one less thing to pack in the open top.
