Hi All.

Another weird year has passed by and so has Derwent Valleys AGM where I was re-elected as AO for 2022. There is a more positive feel about 2022 with DV area members already planning to attend TSSC organised events such as Derwent Valleys New Year Run, the Isle of Wight weekend, and TriumFest, which returns to Stafford. Some DV members are also attending the Laon Historique in June 2022.

The return of the Peak Run in 2022 also looks very promising. The provisional dates are 16th to 20th June 2022. So pop these dates in your diary.

A bit sooner than all that is the TSSC HQ open day on Sunday 5th December 2021 and several DV members are planning to attend and hopefully sample Angie's chilli. Why don't you join us?

After our very well attended AGM was finished, we had a logo quiz. Logos that we see almost every day of our modern lives. Most of them apps on our phones. It was surprising how difficult it was for some. However, with the help of the younger ones amongst us, two teams tied with a score of 27 ½ out of 30. The only solo player, Gary, was the recipient of the wooden spoon and was pleasantly surprised when told he could keep it. Obviously needs it for making Christmas Cakes.

Another highlight of the meeting was scoffing Pauls birthday cake. Yummy!!

The December meeting is a week later than usual on Monday 13th December is our annual Christmas Pizza Night and everyones a winner raffle. A quiz and a silly game might also ensue. Doors open at 7:30pm.

As mentioned earlier we are holding our annual New Year Run on 9th January 2022. As usual, we will meet at Sainsburys car park in Ripley (DE5 3QP) from 10am and leave at 10:20am. There will be a halfway stop and Sunday Lunch is on offer at our final destination. Entry to the event is £5 per car, which will be donated to charity, and lunch will be about £10 per person. The theme for this years run is Doctors and Nurses or the colour Green. There will be prizes for the best fancy dress and best decorated car. Let your pent up urges free and your imaginations run wild.

Our first monthly meeting of 2022 will be on Monday 10th January, the second Monday of the month.
