Hi Everyone,

 Very proud  to have my Canvas painting of Jim Clark unveiled this afternoon by Jim's Cousin Doug Niven.

 It will permanently  hang in Clifton Hall School nr Edinburgh, where Jim Schooled.

Great day and Doug loved the image. Doug also brought along one of Jims Original race suits and unbeknown to me, its the same suit I had painted in the canvas, amazing!!!

Dave.

The January meeting will be held Wednesday 16th from 7.30 at The Gate Hangs Well, Syston LE7 1NH  http://www.thegatehangswellsyston.co.uk/

All members are welcome, please post if you can make it so members from other areas can decide whether to join us.

Unfortunately I am committed to my step daughters 21st meal so I cannot make it.

I hope everyone who attend have a good time.

Roll up, roll up for the new and exciting adventure that is the RhoCar treasure hunt!

What’s it all about?

You will get sent a list of 90+ landmarks dotted round the country (between 1 and 3 per. county). Starting in March and running until the end of October, you need to find as many of the landmarks as you can and take a picture of it and your kit (or tin top if you’re a non-kit owner) in view.

Landmarks are worth a differing amount of points depending on how difficult they are to find or get to. In November, you send all the pictures (preferably in a link to Dropbox/Google photos etc) to us, we tot up the scores and a winner is announced.

An example landmark:

               County / Region               Landmark                                        Location               Points

44           Worcestershire                 Earl Beauchamp's Fountain          Cowleigh              20

Why?

To get you out in your kits. The landmarks are designed to be in scenic parts of the country (not motorway services etc) which are worth a drive anyway. Go on a long weekend, plan a route via. a few landmarks on the list and you’ll have a great time.

What’s it cost?

Free to members, £10 to non-members (entry is per car).

Where do I sign up?

Follow this link to purchase your entry through our club store - 

Rules?

1.       Please do not give the list to other people – the club relies on these sort of events to keep running and it’s not an excessive amount of money for non-members to pay.

2.       This is a non-competitve, fun event on public roads, so all normal laws of speeding, insurance, roadworthiness etc, etc apply – the club is not be responsible for any accidents/incidents/divorces caused by your involvement (legal waffle out the way).

3.       Use of sat-navs is fine.

4.       Event starts on March 1^st and ends on October 31^st. Lists will be emailed to entrants in late February.

5.       …er, I think that’s it!

Acknowledgement: I have shamelessly stolen this idea from Dave Hancock who runs the Round Britain Rally for bikers. I have done his event a couple of times on my bike and it’s really good fun, hence why I want to do it in my kit as well. I’d like to thank Dave for letting us use last year’s landmark list (which he has spent many, many hours compiling) and I urge you to visit his website and consider joining in the full event (if you’re a biker).

Any questions, please ask away – hopefully, we can have a great driving season getting lost looking for little bits of stone!

I have spoken to the Bell Inn at Stilton (http://www.thebellstilton.co.uk/ )and they are prepared to cater for us again this year.

Please can we pay the deposit individually as we did last year as this worked well?

If you call 01733 241066 to reserve a place or a table please mention my name, Derek Overfield, and you are with the RHOCaR group for lunch on April 28th at 2pm.

A deposit of £5 per person will be payable by card when you book.

I will post the April menu once it is released and if you pre order with me I will pass it onto the The Bell in Stilton, as we did last year.

You will need to book and pay a deposit yourself please.

Please let me know you have booked and how many you have paid a deposit for, that way I can organise the pre order.

The Stilton Run entry form is below. You don't have to enter but the entry fee goes to the Air Ambulance charity.

We are looking to book a club stand for us at the first KITFEST event.

tickets are £17.60 each for the weekend until the 31st Jan after that

ticket prices raise to £22 each for the weekend until the 7th June

day tickets are also available if not wanting to camp 

we need a rough number of cars that will be attending so they can allocate space for the club and camping.

Good morning to all, time to remove the decorations from home & garden & return to the chilly dull grey of winter ; no snow expected down here in the south to play in or work through SO --- how about a meet for a warming lunch & lively banter --- anywhere will do & arrive in any form of transport that suits.

Names of those interested & possible venues please.

I’m all up to date on membership packs they will go out in the post on Monday so expect them around Friday any problems just message me thanks

Free motor event in Stratford-upon-Avon with a huge selection of cars; classics, supers and more. Live music. Lots of action!  Over 300 cars on show, set against the beautiful backdrop of Stratford town centre amidst a fantastic selection of shops, cafes, restaurants and attractions for all.

Participating cars pay an entrance fee to help towards the running costs. Highly recommended to book in advance. Limited spaces likely to be available on the day.

It's nearly that time again, the Warks, Worcs, West Mids post Christmas meal.

Same format as previous years and at our usual monthly venue The Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL

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 but latecomers can still get fed if they can't get there that early. I like to give the pub a better idea of the headcount a few days before the event so if interested parties let me know, I'll start a list and I'll make a booking for 25 people to get things rolling. If we get more people we'll either squeeze up a bit or take up more of the main dining area.

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