This year, three of last year's beneficiary charities will be attending to showcase the invaluable work they do within the community. Chair of the Stirling and District Classic Car Club, George Waddell, said: 'We're incredibly proud of how the show has grown over the years, not just in size but in the real difference it has made to local charities. 'It's a fantastic day out for all ages, and every penny raised helps us support the amazing work being done right here in our communities. 'Classic vehicles from Clackmannanshire will include a gorgeous Austin A40 Somerset, lovingly looked after by club stalwart Billy McClymont. 'Whether you're a lifelong petrolhead or simply looking for a great day out with the family, the Bridge of Allan Games Park is the place to be this May. 'Don't miss your chance to be part of a brilliant event – and help drive support for local charities at the same time.'
