The past month has been a bit busy with one event or another to choose from each weekend. As a result the group has been split with personal preferenceand other commitments dicating who was attending what. So in order we have:
dales Run at Dent - organised as usual by our West Yorkshire neighbours. I went along to this one as did seven others (5 cars in total), four of us campedand four did the B&B optionwhich I thought was a good choice cos it was blummin cold in a tent through the night. Was it really JUNE!!! That said we struck lucky with the weather for the Saturday run out round the Lakes. the event was quieter this year with twenty odd cars out on the run. Saturday night in the village hall with Alan at the helm training an up and coming bingo caller Kev 'the numbers' Ollerton. Now appearing on the Golden Mile.
The following weekend had three events to choose from:
Peak Run - which Stu/Lisa, Mark/Cat & Simon/Claire attended. I've only seen photos of them at the event and two of the cars seem to be either pushed around or being pulled onto a breakdown truck. Whats occuring there then?
Houghton Tower Show - that Norman and Brian went to.
Broughton hall game Show - that Dennis and myself did.
Junes meeting was again a pretty good turn out with ten cars on the car park, three of which hadn't been before, one MK3 Spit and two GT6's one being Andy's 2.5ltr powered beast that he uses as his daily ride (when he's in the UK)
It was very good to see Tom at the meeting, we haven't seen him for some monthsnow due to his eyes giving him some issues and wisely not driving at night. But he's still working in his Herald restoration, and to prove it brought photos of his handy work. I have to say an excellent colour choice Tom (but i'm biased). I think all of us hope that we can do what you do at your age, only 25 years for me to wait and try it!!
The final Sunday
Towneley Show at Burnley - notorious for poor weather we decided to pay on the day instead of pre booking. But it was a cracking Sunday and six of us went along to what was a very good turn out of cars and a lot of interested people looking at the cars.
Thats all for now,
