Hello I hope you are all well.
Well it has been a long time coming but we are having our first meeting on Wednesday night. I hope to see you there. There will be no supper available this month as the club is under new management but I am in talks with someone to do this. So if you would like to come out and help us get things going again. Lots to organise in a short time, i.e Gathering ,Auction night and dare I say Christmas Do. Come along have your say, we need your help.
Take care, all the best
Ernie.

OUR EXTRA NEWSLETTER OF THE YEAR.
AUGUST 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.

Hello and welcome to out extra newsletter of the year. As you are all aware we never print a newsletter at this time of the year. We found that because of people having their annual holidays, there was not the interest both in the Newsletter and the club night. So we did not have these. This year because it has been an extraordinary time we thought, because of the timing of the lifting of lock down restrictions it would be good to start the club nights again starting
Wednesday18th of August.
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.

We hope you can all turn out to meet up again. We are really looking forward to seeing you all. We will be welcomed by a new steward to the club as Craig and Rachel have moved on to pastures new. Mr Dave Lee is waiting to give you a warm welcome. So pop in and say hello.
GATHERING
September 19th 2021.
So thrilled to be able to forewarn you of our planned get together.
It’s been far too long.
We personally have not been to a show of over 18 months.
Come along and support your club. We hope to have the usual to look forward to Raffle, Tombola and Catering. A time to catch up with friends and maybe meet a few new ones. We hope to have Motor cars, Motor bikes, Pedal cycles and much more. This will be largely down to yourselves getting the word out. Normally we would have all been at Hunton the week before to get the word out. Fingers crossed for nice weather.

Leyburn Show
This will be held on the 28th of August.
It is always a good turnout for this show. So much to do and see. You are guaranteed a busy day out. Something for everyone. Pop along if you have the time you will not be disappointed.
Wham Farm will once again be hosting a
Charity car boot 21st August, 11-2pm
£5 entry for sellers. Free admission to public.
As is the norm at these events there will be entertainment on Friday 20th and Sat 21st. Camping again available at £7 per unit per night.
Their last charity do was very successful with Heather posting the following
“ For all those who attended and supported the Wham charity bash give yourself a pat on the back you helped raise £525 for Parkinson’s uk”
Well done to all who attended.

Wolsingham Show 4th and 5th of September

AND FINALLY
Bob was in trouble, he forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was very upset. She told him “Tomorrow morning I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE” the next morning he got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up, she looked out of the window and sure enough, there was a box gift wrapped in the middle of the drive. Confused, the wife put on her dressing gown and ran out into the drive, brought the box back into the house and found a brand new bathroom scale........ Bob has been missing since Friday.
