SUNDAY THE 15TH OF SEPTEMBER.
SEE YOU ALL THERE.
June club night.
We had a visit from the air Ambulance team to give us a talk about the work they do.
Joanne started the night with videos of how the service came into existence. She then went on to explain about how they progressed from there. They now are available 24 hours a day but they are not able to fly during the hours of darkness so must use land based vehicles to respond to emergencies. She also demonstrated the area that they covered and gave us a run down on the running cost just to keep the service in operation. She then went on to tell us that the offices have been moved to Urlay Nook with the Helicopter moving there later this year. It was a fascinating insight on an emergency service that I am sure we all hope we never need. However it is a comfort to know they are there to pick up the pieces when we are in trouble. I feel we all learned something from this visit. So our thanks go to them for taking the time to visit.
We made a £50 donation to the Air Ambulance and have received a letter of thanks.

A date for your diary
September 17th our club Night
We have organised a visit to the club of a speaker from Beamish. They will be entertaining you with tales of the work that is going on at the living Museum. They are at the present time constructing a 50s village which some of us will remember well.
Exciting times ahead.
Just a little forewarning.
As you all know it is illegal to travel in a lane on the motorway marked with a red cross. However the police could only prosecute motorists if they actually caught the offended actually breaking the law.
Under new Home office legislation, police will be given the power to penalise drivers captured on traffic cameras and ignoring the sign.
In addition to a fine, offenders will receive three penalty points.
It is said that the new law will come into force sometime in late summer.
.

The club would like to send their best wishes to Pam and Robin Hind. Both have been struggling with health issues lately. We miss you at our meetings. Take care of each other and give us a shout if we can be of any help.
We have also been told that Geoff Bayles was admitted to hospital whilst attending a show recently. Here’s hoping you are on the mend Geoff and that we see you out and about very soon.
Heather Dunn would like to thank all those that attended the recent charity weekend at Wham . There seemed to be fewer people and this may have been due the change of weekend, however had sunshine all the way and enjoyed by all. We will let you know how much was raised as soon as we final totals.
And Finally
Paddy runs into a pub and shouts to Mick
“ someone’s stolen your car”
Mick says “The tow rag! did you see who did it?”
Paddy says “ No but I got the registration number”
