Manchester area news from our August meeting regarding July activities

Hi all, firstly let me apologise if this is a bit brief, Im on holiday enjoying myself at Tattershall Lakes so need to hurry this up so I can have a beer ! We had 15 members attend the August meeting, Thanked Anne & Wayne for hosting the July meeting.
Would like to congratulate Neil Mortique and his family as Neil has now become a grandad.
Thinking of making our area meeting in January a specific one just for getting ideas together for the coming year to fill up our calender with events, could do with some fresh ideas for venues as some members have said some of the shows have been attending over the years have been a little played out.
When applying for show stands we need to apply early. Unfortunately, we didnt get accepted for the August Tatton show on 19th to 21st August. The Wilmslow show in July was cancelled at the last minute due to the no stop rain, so members who were going to that show went along to the Didsbury show which was still on and met up with member who were attending that one, turned out to be a great little show and the weather shined, there was no mud as the ground had stood up remarkably considering the amount of rain we had had.
We enjoyed a great social evening at The Arden Arms listening to Blues music and would like to thank Neil for arranging it, hopefully we will find another band on who we would like to see.
Had another social evening in Manchester on sat 6th August, we firstly went to Lunyas tapas restaurant to sample their many dishes and then on to the amazing Manchester House, which is a bar at the top of an office block, doesnt sound much but was an amazing place with great views of the city, made you feel like a celebrity with its own separate chill out rooms.
Pip did the Brave The Shave for charity , by having her head shaved, raising Ã‚Â£1500 for a MacMillian cancer charity in memory of Louise.
Our area BBQ weekend on 2nd Sept to 4th Sept is now back on as a BBQ , we briefly considered changing it to a buffet as we had arranged the use of the function room at Elm Cottage, however members at the August meeting suggested putting up the gazebo outside the function room and having the BBQ there. Members requested we do just chatting and a bit off music and no other entertainment, with a run out on the Saturday to be planned.
Some of our members went along to the annual Silverstone Classic weekend, thanks to Nigel Hawes from Notts area for arranging the main TSSC stand, weather was boiling and the show was even better than the previous year, next year we are been allowed a parade lap on the circuit to celebrate 40 years.
Our area bank holiday trip to Smighill farm in Kendal is now booked up for 26th to 28th August.
The Event City show in Manchester is on 17th to 18th September, I have had confirmation of our stand, there area still a couple of places left, if anybody wants to come please get in touch with me.
Need ideas for the Christmas do as we need to book early, look out for the comments on our Facebook page so you can get your opinions in on where to have it.
As previously discussed we are trying to rotate different meeting venues, as the Manchester area covers such a large area and our members come from all sides of the city, we will be changing the venue from time to time so everybody is covered by the travel time, so its time for a move! This time Pete recommended the Joshua Bradley, Stockport Road, Gee Cross, Stockport, SK14 5EZ. So our next meeting will be held there on Tuesday 6th September , so see you all there at about 7.30pm, keep the ideas coming on any venues in our neck of the woods that you would like us to visit.

That all from me, see you soon. Mark K
