Hello everyone I hope you are all coping with this big change to our lives.
I had hoped to be regaling you with stories of places we have visited during our Summer break and looking forward to hearing your tales when see you but that isn’t to be this year.
Stay safe , look after each other and keep in touch.
Ernie.

THE NORTHERN VINTAGE TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION
NEWSLETTER FOR SEPTEMBER
You can now find us on Face book search for
The Northern Vintage Transport Association.
Don’t forget we also have a website where you will find pictures of events we have been to and events we have held at the club nights.
www.tnvta.co.uk
We are sending you this newsletter to keep you up to date on our current situation regarding Covid19.
Hope you are all weathering the lock down and staying safe.
We as a committee feel that it would be irresponsible to ask our members to turn out to support our annual gathering in September.
So with that in mind we regrettably have to inform you that we have cancelled this event.
This was held on 15th January and was the AGM. Whilst it wasn’t vey well attended the members present all appeared happy with the way the club is being run.

It is a huge disappointment to all of us. We were looking forward to meeting up in what has been a difficult year.
CLUB MEETINGS
We also feel that Club nights should be cancelled until January.
We hope that things will have settled down by then and we can meet once again without fear of contracting Covid19
This means that we will also have to cancel our hugely successful Auction night.
This is huge blow as we raise a substantial amount of funds to finance the club going forward.
CHRISTMAS PARTY
The Christmas party is also going to be a victim in the current pandemic crisis.
It is too much to ask people to put their health at risk.
WEBSITE
We will be maintaining the web site so if you have anything for sale or if you want to buy anything it can be listed on the web site. Contact Mavis.

NEWSLETTER
We also intend to suspend the monthly newsletter until January 2021.
This is a very large monthly expenditure with ink paper and not least postage. As we have had no income since March the cost is starting to bite. I am sure you will all understand why we have made this decision.
So we hope you are in agreement with our decisions. We have made them in order to try to keep you all safe.
Please keep in touch with each other and share your concerns. If you hear any news or can help each other in anyway then give one of us a ring. All numbers are in front of this Newsletter.

We recently had a new member join us on face book. Does anyone remember him? Get in touch if you do.
Alan White
Was a member in the 80s and 90s. Did a lot of shows with my daily driver Pefect. Club meets were at the Southern Club Aycliffe. Such fun. Who remembers the ford side valve convoy to the shows? Sadly lost contact with John and Alan with the Pop and Prefect. Stuart sold the Pilot and has MGB now. Just started his Pop project. I still have the Prefect but not been used for 17 years as I have my Pop. Be nice if some older members are still about. There’s a little twist to the tale. Proving it's a small world
And finally
While laying in bed with my husband last night, he asked me what I would most like to do with his body.
“Identify it”
Apparently wasn’t the right answer.
