Couple wed at last Adventure Overland Show in Stratford
THERE wasn’t a dry eye in the house – well – in the big cider marquee at the Adventure Overland Show when two traders at the show tied the knot at Stratford Racecourse on Saturday night.
Neil and Steph Ensore have been together for 18 years and decided to get married at what was the last overland show to be hosted at the racecourse.
It was a big weekend all round not only for Neil and Steph but also for the 90 or so massive vehicles on show, some of which are converted army trucks and are the prized possessions of their owners.
Ash McGuigan and her husband, Tom, have organised the event over the years. “It was a big event and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house when Neil and Steph were married by a celebrant, even big, burly hairy blokes had tears running down their cheeks,” Ash said.
She added that the weekend’s show was the 14th to be held in Stratford but would be the last because of “high fuel prices, spiralling costs and the current economic climate”. But it’s not all over just yet as Camper Life is scheduled to take place at Stratford Racecourse next June.
“Tom has been organising this for years and I’ve been involved for the last five years. This year was a brilliant show and Tom’s never-ending efforts have helped raise £67,000 for Macmillan Cancer,” Ash said.
