We have had a couple of cases recently of the magazine going to the wrong address.   If you do move house then updating your address in your profile is a good idea, but unfortunately it doesn't send a notification to the Membership Secretary so won't get picked up.

So if you do move house please let me know either by messaging me at membership@rhocar.org or by using the "Contact Us" link on the Website.

Thanks

Al  (Membership Secretary)

Some of you will have noted that the Member Map recently disappeared.  It appears that a recent software update broke it (Those of you with iPhones will be used to this ).   It is now back, although it is now called Community Map.   As before it can be accessed from the blue  bar on the main screen.    There is a minor problem in that the  + Create > Community Map Marker (top right of the main screen) is not working.   But if you actually go the map there is an option to add your location and that seems to work.  I am discussing the problem with the author so hopefully I can get it fixed.

Of the 380 current members we have only 130 markers and many of those members have lapsed (I will be deleting them over the next few weeks).   So I encourage you to add your location.  Apart from helping the Area Secretaries to find out who is in their area you might find people near you who can help with any problems.

Still on the last Wednesday of the month (next Wednesday), 6pm onwards, Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL.

I'll aim to be there just after 6pm, 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.

Tuesday!!! Our next meeting is on TUESDAY the 25th of October at the Church Mouse Chester Moor Chester le Street DH23RJ from around 7pm, I am bringing the kit whatever the weather, as I need to put some miles on the mods I have done to the engine. See you all there. By the way the meetings are held on TUESDAY

Hi all it's the time for our extra meeting, It will be held as usual at The Old Farmhouse, Yarm road, Darlington. DL2 1JZ.

I look forward to seeing both old and new members there, The venue has undergone an extensive refurbishment since

we last crossed the doorstep so I'm also looking forward to seeing the New Pub as well.

Drive safe and take  care .

As usual in October we are off to the Corby Glen Sheep Fair  (NG33 4NS - www.sheepfair.co.uk)  this Sunday (9th October).

For those that have not been before, this is a traditional small village fete with all the usual stalls, entertainment, food and drink, dog show, craft shows, morris dancing, car display.....   and this is the 784th one so they must be doing something right.

Unlike other shows the organisers are very relaxed about the car display and although the Fair is open from 10:00-16:00 they are happy for us to arrive whenever we like and leave whenever we like.  I normally park up about 09:30 and reserve some spaces (I live only 1 mile away so it isn't difficult).   I 'think' I've sorted out the weather so it should be dry

We park next to the war memorial at the West end of the villae.  This is the approach route, it's the only bit with a dropped kerb.

See you there.
