Manchester area news from July meeting re June activities

Hi everyone , well June was another wet one, when will it ever end, we had a nice day out displaying our cars at Lymm Historic Vehicle show on sunday 26th June, really muddy field but the organisers had worked really hard to keep it all under control covering most of the bad bits with rubber matting, there must have been hundreds of panels, the rain stayed off us till late afternoon so it turned out a good day, great to see all the different cars, tractors, traction engines, barges, fighter plane displays, model planes, vintage cycles and so on, definitely doing it again next year.

Some of our members took part in the Benidorm or Bust car rally, all made it there safey, there were many others cars that didn't due to breakdowns or ending up in the police compound ( police over there are no fun, i mean whats wrong with having a tank turret on a car roof travelling through France and Spain lol ), unfortunately one of our cars the Flintstones Volvo had somebody mess with it on an overnight stay in France, the culprit, pinched their sunroof and heater knobs after turning the heat on full and fans, also wrote obsenities all over the car, we do hope they track down the person involved and get their own back lol, we raised a lot of money for the charity 4Louis and said fairwell to our cars by scrapping them or in the case of Pauls teams BMW, selling them on for a new life in the sun. The journey was one for lifes bucket list, so if you get a chance to do it please do, its a great bonding, fun experience.

A few of our members attended the Triumfest show at Santa Pod, looks like the event turned out well, so congratulations all the organiser who worked hard to make it happen, great to see all the videos of Triumphs having a blast down the strip taking on other Triumphs or street machines.

Next on our agenda are two shows which clash on the same day 10th July, Wilmslow classic show and Didsbury classic show (BEEN NOTIFIED WILMSLOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO BAD WEATHER) , we have members attending both so will gather their photos for next month.

August Tatton Park Passion for Power show on 20th & 21st August and the Footman James show at Event City on 17th & 18th Sept we should have a good display at both with some members from the Cheshire area and North Wales areas are joining us for the Tatton Park show.

At our June meeting. We had 13 members attend a little bit down on usual but there were reasons for it, thanks to Anne & Wayne for hosting their first meeting, as I couldn't do it this month as it was my daughters open evening at college.

Neil is arranging a social night out at the Arden Arms Stockport on 16th July, a blues band is playing outside in the courtyard, should be a fun night.

A few of us are attending Silverstone Classic on 29th to 31st July , if anybody wants to join us book your tickets through the Silverstone Classic website, but not the camping as we are staying at Litchlake campsite which is cheaper and just a bridge walk from the track, if you haven't been before it's a great weekend of classic car displays, racing, pit walks and live music in the evening.

Julie needs numbers for another social night, the band ABC is playing the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester on 21st October you may need to get tickets in advance, please check with Julie

Julie is also arranging a Tapas meal in Manchester, again she needs numbers to book the table, please see our Facebook page and state if you can attend these events.

Our area BBQ weekend on the 2nd & 3rd September has been changed to a more weather friendly Buffet weekend, as we have booked an event room at the campsite as its been held a little later on in the year than normal and can't guarantee BBQ weather, we need help from members willing to make or provide some of the buffet food as well as the entertainment, again please check Facebook and let Anne know.

Six months till christmas so its that time where we need ideas for the Xmas do.

Our next meeting will be held onÃ‚Â tuesday 2nd August 2016
