There is a cars in the park event at newbyhall and gardens its all cars and its on 10th may not sure if rhocar could have a stand there its only the day but id attend dont know how much it is per car eather just worth a mention

Unfortunately for reasons beyond my control, the Hollowell Steam committee will not be inviting RHOCaR to the steam rally this year and they have also withdrawn their invitation for us to use the Hollowell site for the End of Season Bash.

Their reason for not inviting us to the rally supposedly comes from last year and RHOCaR not leaving our cars on the club stand overnight (those who were there may remember the argument I had with Allan over this)

The reason they have withdrawn the use of their site for our End of Season Bash is that they feel it would be ‘too awkward’ having not invited us to the rally.

This news is completely unexpected and having been part of Hollowell gang for the last 20 years I have taken it very personally. I believe the reason given is utter bull**** and instead this is a reflection of how Allan Eaton’s attitude towards rally supporters has deteriorated over the last few years. RHOCaR are not the only ones feeling the pain and I am not the only ‘long-termer’ to be wiping my hands of them due to the rash decisions Allan is making at the moment.

What rubs salt into the wound even deeper is that I only found out this news last Friday via another of the Hollowell committee member and since Friday I have tried to contact Allan to talk their decision but he is avoiding my calls.

I believe if I hadn't contacted the committee last week to find out where the RHOCaR invites were, we wouldn't have been told about this decision until much nearer the time cause us an even bigger problem!

Please rest assured that we will do our utmost to secure a new location for the End of Season Bash and we will keep you updated.

I truly am sorry for the disappointment I know this post will bring, but please trust me when I say that there isn’t anyone who feels this disappointed more deeply than I do right now having stepped away from something which has been a large part of my life since childhood.

Is any-one else going to the meeting at the The Church Mouse Chester le Street, DH2 3RJ on Wednesday? I will be there about 8pm,hope to see you there. Alan

Hi all, once again I am arranging a pitch for club members at Prescott Hill Climb which this year takes place on the 23/24th May (Saturday/Sunday)

Advance tickets are £10 for either day or £17.5 for both , children under 14 free -- camping is available at £5 per adult/night & child half price.

Past years have proved to be very enjoyable --- see prescott-hillclimb.com for details.

The loos, showers & camping ground are all good quality as befits the home of The Buggati Club. There are plenty of food outlets & a restaurant all at reasonable prices.

If we have enough interest we shall arrange a collective meal for Saturday evening.

Names below please stating SAT -- SUN -- or WEEKEND tickets plus camping requirements.

Ok not sure if pole will work but though it may be the best way to get a list of people. I need a minimum 10 definates so we can have a club stand. Please only put your name down if you are defo up for it as i will be chasing the £35 once i have worked out the best way to collect it as i wouwld prefer it to go though the club but not sure thats an option yet

Please check out http://rwyb.co.uk. helmets and arm restraints are required. Arm restraints are about £20 pair but could be shared. Also i beleive that mothercare child wrist straps have been used but will check with pod to confirm, they are about £5 each.

Next Wednesday, 25th February , 7pm onwards, Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL

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

See you there!

As hinted at in the February post, the next Lincolnshire meeting will be on Saturday 7th March 'oop North' at a new venue, Doddington Hall, near Lincoln. A new car show is starting there so we felt we should help it kick off.

As usual please indicate attendance and I will up date this post. So far it's:

Me

Richard (Richard7)

Ian (barney7)

Nigel & Helen (niduncan)

Mick (mowerman)

Andrew (Ozz)

It's very close to Richard so I am delegating the detailed organising to him , so he will provide further details.

Cheers

Seen as the shows are getting scarse and we have a massive club full of petrol heads i was thinking of looking at organising a sprint day at curborough or a club event at santa pod. Made a few enquiries and waiting to get details but who would be interested?

Did curborough 2 years ago with the west mids boys and while its a small sprint track its great to get some confidence, learn your car and test it out. I think if numbers are good isnt that expensive either.

Always wanted to do santa pod and looking into it rwyb (run what ya brung) do quite a few events and welcome clubs. One i spotted was a saturday special where you can run from 9.30 am till 8pm and you can camp over so could be a laugh and as the runs are timed we can have a bit of fun and give a few trophys out (BEST AND WORSE RUN ETC) looking at prices cant see it costing more than 40-50 quid.

Open to suggestions and help in organising

Let me know your thoughts if enough interest we can make it happen

Regards

Keith
