June 4 Run to Sportsmans Arms A bit problematic for me, as my Herald developed serious fuel starvation en route to the start at the House of Marbles. At this stage we think it is muck in the fuel tank so hey ho – here we go with it. Must have had a premonition as had emailed the route beforehand and Dan took up the baton of seeing everyone off. A great turnout, Stags of Charlie, Steve and Mike W, Spitfires of Dan, Mike H and Graham and we were joined by two beautiful Rovers which have joined in with us before. Having nursed the Herald home we met them all at the pub with the Devon flag, albeit flown from the MX5, and we all managed to park together for a good display. Malcolm & Nettie met us there, and we all enjoyed the great carvery before going our separate ways. Interesting to hear though that the Rover owners have also recently experienced similar fuel issues? Going back to our Summer Solstice Club Night in June – well – this had to be our best ever! We had 14 cars on show, some popped off from 5pm for a short drive back to the pub. The weather was amazing, and the views on the drive were similar. Back at the Star, James the Landlord had roped off a square for us, but it wasn’t big enough for all who came along! Most of us had a great meal at the pub in the garden, and later on we were treated with not one but we think three troupes of Morris Dancers. They were amazing. New car out for the evening was Jon’s gorgeous early Mk1 2000. I did a Club valuation on Phil’s GT6 – is your valuation up to date? There were 3 all white Stags, mine, Steve’s and Peter’s; Spitfires of Mike H, John L, Dan and Rob L, Allan’s 2500 S, Julian’s Bond, Bob’s Vitesse, John & Janine’s TR6, and the lineup was completed by Richard’s lovely MGA.
