Hi All.

I have just received information of the event this year at Miller Park Classic car show and will be ordering tickets if you would like to attend this event please let me know ASAP with your car details , reg , make and model. Last year we managed to be awarded the best club stand .

Also, I have booked us a plot at Tatton Park Classic Car Show 1st & 2nd June 2019. If you would like to attend this show please let me know also stating what day/day’s you would like to attend and car details. We would like to try and make this a big event  , as we missed the 60th birthday of the Sprite last year perhaps we could do a 60 plus 1 with banners and balloons setting the cars in a nice pattern . any ideas ??. please book with me soon as numbers need to be sent off 6 weeks before the event.

Thank Neil

Hi All that are going on the Valentines Day Run  , We are meeting at AVRO for 12noon, Chris has all info and as soon as I have final detail or any update from him , I will let you know ASAP.
There isn’t a guided tour of the museum per se, so we will be free to wander at our leisure, but there are guided tours of any cockpits people are interested in. On the plus side, fantastic photo opportunity for club/individuals, they will let us park the vehicles with/underneath the Vulcan Bomber. May get us bragging rights with MASC?.

Cheers Neil

Hi All.

I know most of you will not need reminding it is MASC North West Area club meeting this coming Wednesday at the Kilton Inn 8pm

As we have had quite a few new members this last few months,  It is always good to welcome you and put a face to the name. So please join us if you can , It is usually quite a lively meeting with good events and runs planned in the next few months.

Cheers Neil
