When we are able .

Hello I hope you are staying safe and well. What a year, lets hope that things change soon. I don’t know how things are going to be in the future. Some events have booked showfields for rallies this year so lets hope things improve soon. I know the rallies didn’t happen last year but if like me you wish to attend this year you will need to renew membership in order to show them your public liability insurance.
Lets hope we can get together soon as we need to have a Christmas party and of course an Auction.
You must want to re stock your house or garage,
Take care, see you soon
Ernie.
Ernie.

THE NORTHERN VINTAGE TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION
NEWSLETTER FOR JANUARY 2021
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
Obviously we have no pictures from events last year but for anyone with internet access Mavis has been updating regularly whilst we have not been sending out newsletter. If any of you have anything you would like adding to this site then please get in touch with her.
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.

As promised your Newsletter for January 2021.
Not sure if it’s appropriate to wish all Happy New Year or not. Maybe just wish everyone a safe New Year. I’m sure like everyone else you are absolutely fed up with trying to stay safe and staying in. Hope you managed to see family and friends for a short while at Christmas. It’s so worrying not knowing if we potently are spreading the virus to others. We have not been going out for fear of doing just this. Hope that now we have a vaccine things might start to slowly get back to some semblance of normality. Maybe then we can as a club start to meet up again. I personally have missed meeting up with you all .
MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL
As we are unable to hold club meetings we are enclosing your membership renewal forms in with this newsletter. The renewal fee will be the same as last year, £15. Your insurance certificate will be sent on receipt of your subs. We hope you will decide to stay with us. If you do wish to renew your membership could you please send the form with your subs enclosed back to Mavis Bailey at the address that you will find on the front of this newsletter.
Thank you in advance as you will appreciate this will be the only way to renew membership this year.

Individual membership cards will not be issued this year. With rising costs and no income it has been decided to dispense with them. We have had no income since March last year and with insurance and federation subs still to be paid we feel sure you will agree with us. There has also been an increase in the price of stamps on the first of January.
As we are in yet another “Lockdown” we are unable to hold AGM this month. We are not a club who’s committee are able to hold “Virtual” meetings. Whatever they may be, so we are asking that things remain unchanged. We will publish current accounts as soon as we are able and committee will remain unchanged. If you have anything you wish to raise then please contact one of us.
MORGANS DIARY
We have received an email from Morgan’s to say they are not intending to print the diary until mid March. As we will not be having a club night we are sorry we have had to cancel the usual bulk order of the Morgan’s. You can apply however for one yourselves by using the form on the back page of last year’s diary or by going online and ordering one for yourself. Fingers crossed that some shows will go ahead this year.

We have not got a lot of information to share with you as like the rest of the country no one has been able to do any thing.
We all at the NVTA hope that you will keep yourselves busy, and be able to show your vehicles to the public this year. So keep polishing and tinkering and be ready for the day we can all meet together again
So Stay Safe.
And finally
AMAZON
Amazon has announced that they can solve the problem of getting people vaccinated.
They intend to train all delivery drivers to administer the injection
