Auto & Retro Festival, Lydiard Park – Saturday 22 July 2017

Not a good start to the day for Nick as his Mayfair was found to be leaking petrol and had to be returned home for inspection by him and Paul.  The decision was made for Nick to attend in the BMW so all the kit from the Mayfair had to be transferred over which meant we were by now running a bit late.

We met up with other members at the big Asda in Swindon on the way.  Finding our way on to the site was not easy this year as the sign posting was not very clear as to which entrance we needed to use.

Once on site we set up the gazebo and put the display boards up, put the kettle on, and then . . . it rained!!!!

Not such a good turn out by other clubs this year and not so many stalls to look around . . . possibly because of the weather.

All in all a bit of a wash out all round.

Club Social BBQ – Saturday 15th July 2017

Club Social BBQ – Saturday 15th July 2017

This years’ club BBQ was hosted by Simon and Jen at their new house in Calne.  Nick took the small gazebo to put up in the garden (just in case) and was helped by the children to assemble it.

Jen had prepared some delicious salads to have with our range of meats that we had bought and that were cooked by Simon.

The weather was good to us this year and the sun shone with a little bit of breeze.

Myself, Nick and Rich Clark attended and Paul arrived with RAB which had just had his roof refurbished which we all admired.

Much discussions about minis (as you would expect) followed and a very pleasant time was had by all.

 Thank you to Jen, Simon and the children for hosting this year.
