Even though we have a fairly busy month already, with the Kimbolton Show on the 10th and Newark on the 23/24th, we can't waste this glorious weather.    So initially, we are planning to meet up on Wednesday the 13th.

Haven't decided on a location yet, that will depend on who is going to attend.  A usual I will try and aim we all get a 30-50 min drive to somewhere with a decent car park and room for a picnic.   Any suggestions always welcome.

Hi all, will we be having a stand at the Newark show this year, if we are do we have a stand number yet,also a map for the camping ground would be helpful as the show site is a bit vague.

It would seem that there is a lot on that weekend so will  many member be attending.

Hope to see you there and maybe the sun will shine.

Next Wednesday (29th) , 6PM onwards, Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL

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

The pub have been turfing us out at 9PM because they're not bothered about a load of old farts who aren't eating so it makes for a short meet if you don't get there early. Therefore I'm saying 6PM onwards in the hope people will try and get there a bit earlier than usual.

If you've going to attend, post up if you will try and get there at 6PM just so people know whether they'll end up waiting an hour for everyone else. If the earlier time works, we can continue it for other meets. 

See you there.

I've just heard that Ivan Farrington (wanderer on the forum) passed away recently.  Ivan was a long time Club member and many of us will remember him well as he made a point of going to every show and Club meet possible, even driving 4-5 hours to get to them.  I was particularly close to him as he was one of the first Superspec owners I encountered, some 9 years ago, and it was the first time I had seen one of the gold 'titanium' finished cars.   We spent lots of time discussing the foibles of the car design and how we were going to fix them.  I will miss his company.

I am trying to contact his family through the new owner of his car and I will pass on condolences on behalf of the Club.

The monthly meeting will be held at the Church Mouse, Chester Moor, DH23RJ from about 7-30pm, as it is my Birthday I expect a large turnout to buy me a drink, but don't worry I am driving so you can all keep your wallets in your pocket. See you all there. Alan
