I'm planning a run out on Saturday 14th September. Destination to be decided but most likely to be either mid-Wales coast or North Wales, it depends on who's attending and where they're travelling from.

I plan a full day, so leaving Midlands before 9 and arrive back later afternoon.

I've been given a couple of flyers for an event at Curborough on the 26th and another at Eccleshall on the 31st if anybody is interested in a day out.

I don't know anything more about them yet and I haven't had chance to look on the websites, but they both involve cars

Next Wednesday 31st, 6pm onwards, Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL.

Generally they're trying to kick us out just after 930pm 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.

Hi all,

This will be at the George and Dragon in Meaford, Stone ST15 0PX.

All invited to the North East meeting at the Church Mouse, Chester Moor, DH2 3RJ, from 7pm. we have had some good attendance the past few meetings, it would be good to build on that a get back to getting some events organised. So lets see some more old,new or just interested faces turn up. Alan

750 Formula will be racing at Cadwell Park on the weekend of the 7 & 8th of July. 

Celebrating it's 75th year of racing, this is a formula boasting a mix of home build prototypes and adapted kit cars. 

Running control slicks and wings the lap times can be fairly impressive for a cost effective formula.

It is an open paddock, so cars can be viewed along with the owners/builders and drivers.

After a disappointing start at Kimbolton, I am not discouraged so still want to take advantage of this sudden burst of good weather.   So we will have a picnic/runout tomorrow (Thursday 18th) at Burghley House at Stamford (PE9 3JY).   I'm aware that many people are away on holidays (thanks to all the East of England members who wrote to apologise for not coming) but I am sure some are still around.

We will be in the overflow car park (grassed so much nicer then hardstanding) from 12:00, all are welcome.

One of the major classic car shows of the year, lovely driving weather, lots to see, plenty of food stands, proceeds going to charity.   What more do you want ?   Well apparently quite a lot more.    I've just got back from the Kimbolton Classic Car Show, probably over 1000 cars being displayed, and we had been allocated a prime Club Stand right next to the Castle and the SuperCar line up. (and with an Ice Cream Van next door)

So how many of our 350+ members turned up ?   Well here's the answer   (Techically it should have been 4 but the Club Chairman only made it half way before he has to turn back with engine problems)

It's a bit depressing, and especially embarrasing for me as I booked the Club Stand in anticipation of a decent turnout

Anyway, we still had a good day and my thanks to AndyW and thespannerman for turning up and supporting us (and Foz for at least trying).  And to the few who apologised in advance with good reasons).  

I think I am going to have to stop booking Club Stands in advance until I know that at least a few cars will be turning up.

I'm planning on going up to North Wales on Sunday 21st July. The NW guys made mentioned they were going down to Bala on the same day, if they do, we could maybe meet up.

My plan is to set off early (0900ish) and head for the well known Ponderosa Cafe on the Horseshoe Pass near Llangollen then maybe do the Evo Triangle. People that know me, know I don't bother with maps in North Wales so the route can be adapted to suit.

I'll share this on my Midlands area WhatsApp group and post any updates here, I know @Jez Morton has said he's interested.

After a few requests from potentional members who do not trust Paypal we have initiated a new way of registering or renewing using Bank Transfer.   It will be interesting to see how many people use this new method.
