Month: June 2019

Hi all, Ken has kindly invited us to his organic farm for a barbeque (bring your own vituals) he has fashioned a new oil drum for the occasion, if not he has a rotisserie that can cater for ‘frogs’

He would like us there from about midday, so either go direct, or I am arranging a local run of about 25 – 30 miles starting at Milton Tesco CB24 6AY car park at10:45

Ken’s address:

Last time we visited, a few years ago, his racing frogeye was a basket case, he also has an airstrip!!! what can we expect? good weather maybe.

Hope to see you there or at  Mr Tesco’s.

Alas the weather has beaten us, and we have cancelled our run to the Ace cafe planned for tomorrow night as 90% chance of rain with heavy rain here a 5pm.

Lets hope for better weather next month – Tuesday July 9th same time same place.

It is so anoying – wanting rain for a week or two as a part time gardener and it turns up as we want to enjoy our great cars.

Cheers

Hi all,

We plan a visit to Ace Cafe next Tuesday to meet up with other area members and a varied collection of motors at this iconic location on the north circular.

Subject to weather conditions, we will meet up at 5pm at Stevenage south roundabout junction 8 on the A1, this is the junction to Nebworth and we meet on the slip road serving the Novotel site.

Join us if you can and have ‘pie-mash’ and a pint and natter.

We have had quite a busy month involving a fun run to Jordan’s Mill Bedfordshire then on to ‘The sheds’ at Cardington with 8 of our cars attending in glorious conditions, ending up at The Swan for dinner.

Next it was ‘Drive it day’ a tulip rally into Essex, then Chris and I attended the extensive Enfield Pageant of Motoring – a first for me. Following on from this we travelled to Earsham Hall picking up Norfolk member Steve Nash en route in his Sebring Sprite for more tyre kicking.

At our last club meeting two very fine midgets were brought along by Chris Waters from Bedford and Bob Butterworth, with new member Bob Langley telling us about his newly aquired frogeye.

Read all about the above with shots of our trips in the imminent June diary.

Our next club meeting at The Swan is Thursday June 13 – all welcome.

Graham Kirkup
