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

To keep the table bills simple, most people normally opt for the carvery but other options are available:

Meet up from 7PM onwards and aiming to eat around 7-30.

I like to give the pub a rough headcount in about a week's time and then give them a more exact numbers a few days before the event so if interested parties can pencil it in their diary and let me know as soon as possible please.

Everyone welcome (including ladies and kids) and new members (or those thinking of joining) are especially welcome.

Hi all happy new year. I've finally got my Robin Hood super spec on the road .And I'm wondering if anyone has modified the handbrake position as when I'm strapped in I can't reach it. Any diagrams meauserments and parts used would be very useful  many thanks 

Some time ago, for very good reasons, the concept of a family membership was introduced, so that for an additional £5 a second member of a household could be added.  It never really caught on and we had very few takers.  So, in the interest of keeping things simple we have decided to discontinue the option.  However we haven't forgotten the spouses/partners, some of whom are very keen supporters of the Club, so from now on every membership will be assumed to be a 'household' membership and we will continue to welcome families to all our events.

Happy New Year to all, hope '23 is all you want and wish for.

Hi all

I have recently taken over as Club Webmaster and Forum Maintenance.   I feel that the current design serves us well as regards the forum posts, messaging system, events calendar and community map, but would welcome any suggestions on how it could be improved.  I'm still learning the 'nuts and bolts' of the system so I can't promise anything, but I will listen.

As my first thought, I would like to see more of the information we know is in previous posts easily accessible from the main page rather than having to search for it.   So you should now see a new Menu item on the blue banner, called "Useful Sites".   If you hover the mouse over it you will see my first attempts at a knowledge base.   Not surprisingly I have started a page for the Superspec owners as that is where my expertise lies.   I have resurrected the old North West web page that was produced years ago by Tim Stott and contains lots of useful informaton.  He has given me permission to update it and link to it from the main page.   Finally I have added some build blogs (including mine ) that I know are still current.

So if anyone has any further suggestions for improvements or knows of any other useful blogs, please let me know.

Cheers

Al
