Manchester area news from October meeting re September activities
Paul who was a new member who came last month needs advice on restoring his Spitfire which has been stood for 30 years, if anybody can give him some advice then please have a chat with him at the next meetings.
Bill & Rob are planning an epic 2500 mile trip through the Swiss Alps next year,setting off on Saturday September the 2nd for a 2 week run, driving down to Lausanne, Sion & Murren will experience some of the finest driving roads on the continent driving the Swiss passes.After these stunning days then do the return run home through France and Belgium to the UK. If you are interested Bill has put a detailed post on our facebook page linked below, places are limited.
We had a stand at the Footman James classic car show held a Event City at the Tafford Centre on 17th & 18th Sept, we had nine cars on display, there was a fantastic turnout over the weekend with our stand getting lots a attention and gaining a couple more new members. Congratulations to Pete, Neil & Bill for winning prizes for our little in house vote for best cars on the stand.
Also a bit of a sad day because Neil found a cash buyer for his trusty 2500 saloon which he has had for 6 years, so we had to say a fond fairwell, but now he's putting his efforts into getting his Spitfire "Brum" back on the road.
Pete & Janet have suggested a week away in Scotland at the end on August 2017 if anybody is interested keep a eye out for further details on here.
Neil has taken charge if our areas tool pool which is now free to use by our members, although there will be a refundable deposit when borrowing them, Neil has put a list of the available tools on our facebook page.
Thinking of setting the date for our area BBQ to be the first May bank holiday next year.
Pete has kindly said he will arrange our annual club area calender, if you have any photos please submit them to him.
Planning a drive out to Woodford Heritage Centre date TBC , keep an eye out on our facebook page for this event.
