Well what a mad mad mad year we’ve had so far!
From a record winter snowfall and extreme cold temperatures at the start of the year, to October kicking in with people flocking to the beaches as the sun turned on the heat at the other end of the scale.
The late autumn sun also brought you guys out to kick off our winter programme with good numbers, attending the Krispy Kreme and Southport Bowl/cruise; you certainly seem intent on making the most of your pride and joys.
I, and no doubt yourselves hear the same comment over and over again…“HOW DO YOU AFFORD TO RUN THESE MONSTERS”. With a wry smile you reply, you just do because of the sheer pleasure….. turning the key and hearing that V8 rumble and the smiles per mile.
November heralds Nick’s Blackpool cruise through the lights, Mellissa’s secret hotpot birthday supper at the Brown Cow, and the booking of a room for the clubs AGM. In the past few years this has been at the George Carnell sports hall by the Trafford centre, but this year when Val and Bert went to book they are remodelling the centre, so dear folks we have seen and booked an alternative venue that seems to be an even better room and facilities that is just as easy to find as it’s down the road from old Trafford. In this edition of Rumble and Roars on page 5 you should find details and a post code to help you find your way to the Railway Club where you will be able to stand down some old chuffers and stoke up the fires of your elected committee, while enjoying a sumptuous Buffet and motor mind quiz. There will be a map to follow for the venue, and contact myself or Tom for points of view; drop us a line to keep us on the right track and express your thoughts.
Keep those wheels turning good friends, Graeme S.
