Thanks for the many ideas for events which were discussed. It is hoped that if there is sufficient interest they will all happen. Sunday August 7th has been chosen as the date for the regions summer BBQ, definitely one for the diary! The breakfast meeting was well attended.

Thirteen cars brought twenty five people and meant that the cafe was quite busy! We then had a look at Zig Zag Hill, made famous by Top Gear and officially recognised as the bendiest stretch of road in the Britain. Negotiating the twisties certainly caused a few grins from drivers and their passengers! April 30th (Saturday) Classic Car Show at Downton May 15th (Sunday) Prescott Hill climb
