Last minute decision to meet up, when I saw the weather was OK today and rubbish for the foreseeable future.   So off to one of multiple garden centres (actually the associated cafe) that we visit.   Good to get together again and lovely day for a drive.

Next chance is GBS Coffee & Cakes but weather not looking too good.  Will probably be another last minute decision.

HI all,

This Sunday at Bishton Hall, Wolseley Bridge near Great Haywood and Rugeley

Hi all

We are begining to see this more and more often in various parts of the forum.   At the moment we are not sure what is causing it.   I am in discussion with our hoster but he doesn't know what is causing it either.   The closest idea we have is that it is related to the spam filters we have running.   We will keep trying to figure it out, but if it is a spam filter then it is IP-related.   So what seems to happen it self-heals after a few hours when the IP changes.  

You can try rebooting youe router, which should force an IP change.  Or we normally find that you can access it vis a mobile phone provided the WiFi is disabled and it is working on mobile data.   If, like me. you have a BT router you can switch to the secondary, public, wifi system that uses a different IP.

If by chance we have some real IT experts on here who understand this sort of thing, please let me know and I can ut you in touch with the hoster.

I've just stumbled across this which is only a couple of miles from me  -

https://www.rotary-ribi.org/clubs/page.php?PgID=869456&ClubID=1253

If anyone's interested let me know and if there's a few of us I'll see if I can arrange for a club space.

Time for our regular monthly get together, hoping for a better turn out than last month - let's see if we can at least double that attendance. See you at the Church Mouse,Chester Moor,Chester-le-Street. DG23RJ from around 7pm

Is anyone Interested in a run up to gbs for their event from Leicester and surrounding areas? 

Hi folks I know it's a bit early but Sporting Bears have sent me the following information regarding the annual classic car show. We usually have a good showing at this event so can you let me know who is interested at this stage so I can give them rough numbers?

Thanks Peter

Kimbolton Country Fayre and Classic Car Show on Sunday 16^th July 2023.

Planning has commenced in earnest and we’re getting ready to welcome back some of your favourite features as well as introducing some more new ones.
It just wouldn’t be the same without you, our car clubs. You’re such a huge part of our show and we’d love to welcome you back this year.  

We are delighted to announce that you will no longer need to send out wristbands to your club members – this year will be introducing the ability for your club members to book online, in advance of the show. It our hope that this drastically speeds up your movement as you enter the show through the pay lanes.

Each car club will be allocated an amount of space that fits in the number of cars you, the organiser, confirms you’d like to bring, and your members can simply book a ticket online, confirming the car club they are part of and show their ticket at the entrance to the show.

Full details for how to book will be provided closer to the show date to all clubs that confirm they would like to attend the show. Of course, if you have some members who need to pay on the day, they can do so.

If you would like to book a club stand in this year’s show all I need from you is:

·       Confirmation that your club wishes to attend

·       How many cars you wish to exhibit

Unfortunately, for the first time in many years, we’re having to raise the price to enter the show. It will now be £15 per car or £10 per motorcycle. If you book online, there will also be a small booking fee.

Next Wednesday 22nd, 6pm onwards, Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL.

I'll aim to be there just after 630pm, generally they're trying to kick us out just after 9pm so if you're coming, don't leave it too late. Also, if you want to eat, book beforehand as they don't normally let people just rock up and eat.

Entrance to the pub car park is off the A452 Chester Road heading North 50 yards from the island.

Everyone welcome. See you there.

Time to resume the meetings after the holiday break, hope you all had a great Christmas and best wishes to you all for this new year .The meeting will be on Tuesday 31 January at the usual venue, the Church Mouse, Chester Moor DH23RJ, from around 7pm. Hope you all can make it so we can catch up on what's been happening and plans for the future.

After a quiet period over Christmas it's time to get out and about again.   It's really a case of finding a gap in the poor weather at the moment.   So the first meet will be on Wednesday (11th) when it looks OK.   It's still a bit cold for our normal al fresco picnic so we have decided to try the Welland Vale Garden Centre at Uppingham (LE15 9EU) (https://www.wellandvale.co.uk/orchard-cafe).    We'll be there at 12:00 so anyone is welcome to join us.

I'm aware this won't be ideal for the 'workers' so I will look at doing a weekend one later in the month.

Cheers

Al
