News and Programme of The Section
(update
as of 9th May)
At The Owl
café at Terling on “Drive It Day” on April 27th
Important Update : The section have
been invited to Join the British Owners Club run on Sunday 18th May
and this will start from the Norton Heath cafe at 10.00am. There will be a
section run on Wednesday 21st May starting from Crown Corner at
10.30am and the next club night at the Woodman this month will be on the
following evening of Thursday 22nd May.
Sunday 27th
April was the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs “Drive It Day” and
Roy led myself, Geoff Gibbins and Steve Carvosso on a pleasant run in fine weather to the Owl café
at Terling, where we sat and enjoyed lunch outside in
the sunshine while watching as a constant stream of classic cars passed by on
the adjacent road, presumably taking part in a scheduled route for the event.
There were very few modern cars interspersed with them so it was a bit like
being in a time warp for a while. Steve had to leave early as he had an
appointment to keep but the remaining three of us had another enjoyable run
back by a different route.
At the
mid-week lunch meet on 7th May at Stapleford club house Pam and I
were joined by Roy and Steve C on their Matchless twins and Dudley, having his
first trip out on his ex Dave Slater’s “Ruby” single which he said started well
after its winter lay-up. We were later also joined by Ian Savage, who after
saying that he was down for traffic duty at the Blackmore event then invited
the section members to join the next British Owners run out on May 18th.
Any information on forthcoming section
activities will be always given on this page of our section web site as the
frequent changes that occur and the lead times for the “Jampot”
section notes does not allow for them to be used for this purpose. So check this page regularly.
It gets updated after any new information becomes available and usually as soon
as possible after each club night .
