Car Show 2008

July 13th saw Caerwys Classic Car Show come around again. Compared to last year the weather was kind and we were met by a day of glorious sunshine. We had 9 cars on display this ranging from 106 Stage car to Escort XR3i. We also hosted our Con Cours D'Elegance. Last years winner Ian Lloyd with his gleaming Ford Escort Costworth RS retain the Cup. Runner Up was Dave Williams with his Ford Escort XR3i. A big thank you to everyone who brought a car to show as well all club members who came along. Thank You also the car show organisers for putting on the event

Pictures of the show can be found HERE!!


Mr D. Elwyn Lloyd - Born 01/03/1942 - Died 24/03/2008

It is regret that we have to report the death of one of our longest serving members 15 months after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. Elwyn joined the club in the mid 1960’s and became a committee member in August 1967 and remained so until his passing.

 After leaving school Elwyn became an apprentice mechanic at Quicks of Ellesmere Port working up to Foreman before leaving to join Baz Smith as partner in Jocar Self Drive Hire. In his latter years Elwyn was a key member of Buckley Tyres staff, as most of our younger members will remember him,  always willing to help any member who required to call on his expert mechanical knowledge.

 Elwyn had competed in numerous local Road Rallies in the 1970’s always driving one of his immaculately  prepared Fords. He also represented North Wales in Autotests and anybody who saw him drive his Ford Corsair around bollards witnessed a truly magnificent feat.

 Last year he came out of retirement and finished second overall on the Jack Romain Novice Rally.  

He will be sadly missed by his many friends. 

The funeral will take place on Thursday 3rd April at 1.30pm  in Penyfford Chapel followed by a service at 2.30pm at Pentre  Bychan Crematorium. The family would like to thank all the members who have written to them at this sad time.

Jack Romain Trophy: For the second year running Broughton-Bretton have won the prestigious award of the best road rally in Wales as part of the Welsh Association of Motor Club championship. BBMC won this award for the 1st time last year for the Firefly road rally 2005, which was a closed to club event. The Firefly 2006 was part of the ANWCC championship and had a brand new Clerk of the Course in the shape of BBMC club member Paul Dolby. This was the 1st time Paul had been a Clerk of the Course and winning this award showed he is a natural at it. A big thank you to Paul Dolby for organising the event along with thanks to all the PR crews, who hours of door knocking  helped the event go without a hitch. Also thanks to all the Marshall, competing crews and officials, without you the event would have never had happen.


Annual Subscriptions: Welcome Back and a Happy New year to you all and as it’s a new year we all know what that mean! That’s right club membership renewal. If you could all get them back to us ASAP. Its only £10 for the year and entitles you to enter events as a Broughton-Bretton member as well many of the events organised by BBMC throughout the year.


Get Well Soon: I would like to take this opportunity to wish a speedy recovery and get well soon from all Broughton-Bretton Motor Club members to Adrian Smart, Elywyn Lloyd and Bob Dolby. Hope you all get better soon guys and hope to see you all back at the New Inn shortly.
