Dub Preservation 3 is this week. Thursday night at 19:30 hours will see some of the norths freshest dubs descend upon Squires Cafe Bar at Sherburn in Elmet.

The venue is licensed with Pool Tables and Arcade Machines to settle those old grudges! They serve good pub food too so if you turn up hungry and thirsty, you'll be catered for.

This month will see even more light so a lot more of the meet will be conducted in the car park. Hopefully the weather will allow the DJ to lay down some phat beats and the seating areas around the car park will come into play should it be warm enough.

Heres a map of the local area and some directions for anyone who hasn't been before.

Here are the images from the previous meets.

Look forward to seeing you there

Some amazing cars on here. It takes about two minutes to realise these are some serious german boys. Styling, Tuning, midifying all with sympathy to the old shool shapes. But with bang up to date finished. Chromed merc wheels, yup. G40'd early polos, yup.

check it out for yourself at Modern Old School.
