Hello I hope you are all well.
Well things are starting to move. Chester le Street show went ahead and all I have spoken to had a good weekend.
I went to the cricket club last week and we are welcome back now restrictions on indoor numbers are lifted.
This will be the first meeting we have had in August as usually lots of us away on holiday.
The club is under new management so at the moment there will be no food available. This could change. We will let you know in next newsletter.
Take care, all the best
Ernie.
Ernie.

THE NORTHERN VINTAGE TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION
NEWSLETTER FOR JULY 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
A warm welcome to your newsletter. It is so nice to be writing this newsletter. We bring you exiting news. Once again we are planning our club nights.
We have waited a long time to be able to restart meeting.
The prime Minister has stated that from the 19th of July we can once again meet with people inside. This is the news we have been waiting for.
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.
.
.
.

So with this in mind we are proposing to have an August club night.
We normally miss an August meeting however because it’s been such a long time since we met we feel you will want to meet at the earliest opportunity. So with that in mind we have decided to meet up on
Wednesday August 18th 2021.
We are over the moon to be able to write this. Please come along to restart our monthly meetings. It’s planned to be a low key affair with just a get together and a catch up. We can then decide what you would want us to try to organise for future club nights.
Exited to see you all again it been far too long.
WHAM SUMMER BASH
FRI /SAT 23rd 24th July
Ian and Heather are once again inviting you all to attend their fundraising weekend. As usual there will be the entertainment on an evening and food but bring your own drinks. There will be a Car Boot sale on Saturday starting at 11.00. Cost is £5 per table. You are welcome to camp for the weekend at a cost of £7 per unit, per night. Funds raised will go to Parkinsons Uk.

Summer gathering.
September 19th 2021.
All restrictions will hopefully be lifted by then so we are planning to hold our Gathering . Please come and join us. Fingers crossed for fine weather Dust down your pride and joys. I’m sure they have felt neglected over the last 18th months. We will have the usual events taking part. Put the word out to get as many people there as possible.
There have been many shows cancelled over the past. So try to support them as they will have really struggled to stay afloat.
Don’t forget if you want anything Advertisings for sale or wanted even. These Ads are free to club members. It’s surprising how often we can help with your sale/want ads. In this case it really is a case of “It costs nowt to ask” Or if you have anything to tell us we will always listen. It’s been 18 months since a lot of us spoke so you must have something to tell us.
Maybe one of you that attended show at Chester le Street could write a little bit about your weekend.

And finally
Many of you will have been like me and not exercised over lock down then i saw this and thought “perfect “
EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 60.
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side,
With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there for as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax.
Each day you’ll find that you can hold this position for a bit longer.
After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato bags. Then try 15-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I’m at this level).
After you feel confident at this level, put a potato in each bag.
