Northern, Manchester Area news

Manchester area news from September meeting re August activities

Hi everyone well whats been going on in August in our neck of the woods, well to start with our most recent area meeting was held at a new venue The Joshua Bradley in Hyde, very nice place and very accomodating, so thanks to Pete & Linda for their recomendation, we had 24 members attending with some new members and some who have not been for a while. Janice & John new members who are currently on the look out for either a Vitesse or a TR4, Paul & Jenny who have been members since 1986 ! but this was there very first meeting, they have a Spitfire which has been garaged for 30 years and needs a full restoration, so they are currently on the look out for a garage to undertake the work, also welcomed Andrew Jill and Neil.

When I arrived at the meeting we found a Herald engined MG kit car broken down in the car park, so a few of us spent a half hour trying to get the mans car started, thinking he was a TSSC member there for the meeting.......he wasn't, just coincidence lol.

Bill & Rob are organising a two week trip around Switzerland in 2017 so if anybody is interested contact Bill for more information, he has put a post about it on our Facebook page.

Members who attended our annual area weekend away had a great time, they stayed at Smighill farm in Kendal in the lake district, with a trip out to Morecambe.

We had a fab area BBQ at Elm Cottage near Northwich, thanks to all who attended and contributed to the full spread of food, we had a drive out on the Saturday to Beeston Castle and my map route went without a hitch ( road closed lol). We gave Pip & Frank surprise thank you gifts for all their hard work and dedication over the many years as area organisers, thanks to all members who donated, we gave them a Royal Doulton crystal vase, Â£100 Debenhams gift voucher and a large bouquet of flowers, thanks to Gary for the speech summing up their time as area organisers.

Thinking of using Elm Cottage campsite again next year as it is just a couple of miles away from Oulton Park so will try to arrange something that ties up with their fixtures.

We are making the January & February meeting specifically for arranging ideas for the forthcoming year so we can get booked in and fill up our diary, so if you have any ideas please bring them to those meetings so we can all discuss them.

Footman James classic car show at Event City is on 17th & 18th September, we have a stand with 10 cars attending, still two places left, if anybody fancies it please let me know, display cars can set up on the friday between 12 noon and 8.30pm, once there they have to be left all weekend until the close of the show on sunday afternoon.

Received a list of current and expired members for our area from Angie at HQ, i will need to go through the list to see if there is anybody who still needs to be contacted.

Ideas for this years Christmas do has been discussed more details to follow.

As well as the Christmas do we will also be attending the Manchester Christmas markets as we did last year, date still to be set, hope you all can join us.

Apologies for the funny typo's, the system keeps creating them and won't let me delete them.
