Sorry about the forum outage today.  Classic case of a software update going wrong.   We have restored everything from the last backup but it means we lost any inputs on Thursday.  

So if you sent a message or posted anything on Thursday you may have repeat it.

Hi all

I have been sent details of shows in the East of England next year where we might have a Club Stand.   Obviously the Club will have a stand at Malvern and Newark, but these other shows will have minimum attendance numbers (usually about 5 cars) to justify a stand.   So if you think you might be attending any of these shows, please message me (alanrichey) to confirm which show you will attend (I suggest you don't reply to this post otherwise it could be overloaded).

If any other Area Secretaries have similar shows where we could have a stand, please post the details.

Then nearer the dates we will know whether to apply for a stand.

1.    Classic Wheels Show - Rutland Showground (LE15 7TW)  - Sunday 19th May 2024

2.    Baston Car Show - Grimsthorpe Castlel (PE10 0LY)  - Sunday 30th June 2024

3.    Sywell Classic - Sywell Aerodrome (NN6 0BN) - Sat/Sun 21/22 September 2024   (Clashes with Newark)

Next Wednesday 29th, 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.

This will be our last meet of 2023 as we don't have one in December. Everyone welcome. See you there

This will probably be our last meeting of the year at the Church Mouse, Chester Moor, DH2 3RJ, so would be good to see as many as possible, to catch up on your winter plans before the festivities. I will be coming down in the kit so it would be nice if others joined me, if only to show i'm not the only mad one.

Great work on the latest mag @Foz - some really interesting stuff in there  

Our October meeting is at the Church Mouse, Chester Moor, DH2 3RJ, no need to come in fancy dress.

After a lovely (warm) day out last weekend at the Corby Glen Sheep Fair it's time for the next meet.   Looking ahead, the weather on Tuesday 17th looks good for a run out.   As you may have noticed it's a bit chilly outside, so we will go into Winter mode and meet up at a cafe for a hot drink and snack.

I'm looking at the Harvest Barn (PE7 3DR) near Peterborough, arriving at about 13:00.   All are welcome.  Please let me know as I need to book a table.

Cheers
