[alanrichey]

The East of England team are doing a run out and picnic lunch at Rutland Water on Sunday 12th.   If anyone else wants to join us please let me know and I will give you details.

Another nice day for the East of England group.   Weather superb, location lovely and a nice run in the cars for everyone. 

Thanks to all who supported it.

A sudden window of good weather has opened up on Monday 20th before it pours with rain for the rest of the week.  Some of the East of England team are going out for a lunchtime picnic, but it's also time for all  the other retirees, self employed, house husbands and out-of-work members to get the cars out.

If anyone from 'out of state' wants to join us let me know.   We will decide on the venue when we know who is coming.

OK, decision made.  It will be Sywell Aerodrome (NN6 0BN) at 12:00.    This is one of our favoutite haunts.  It has a nice car park, a nice grassy area to sit and you get the bonus of a free museum (donations) and aircraft to watch and,  most importantly, a toilet close by

Enjoy, a little too far for me.

And we did enjoy ourselves    Weather was perfect again and we all had nice long drives around the 50-80 minutes mark.   We arrived a day after a Supercar Show had been staged so the Car Park was a bit full, although we still managed to park together.   We didn't see any aircraft but we did see lots of classic cars being either driven away or put on trailers.  

We also had an nice hour or so repairing Andy's car (Wouldn't start, diagnosed as fuel pump failure).   Luckily I had a spare pump and we had 4 comprehensive tool kits so we eventually managed to get him going so he could go home under his own steam rather than on a flatbed .    Nicely demonstrates what the Club is all about.

We were joined by Pete, our newest member, who has an absolutely stunning Ronart car.   Donor was a 4.2Ltr Jaguar, straight 6 (Check out the exhaust !!)

A good day all round.
