Hello and thankyou to all the members that turned up for the Sunday show.. Nice to see members with their new/old cars. Nice to see new people that got to know of show from Morgan’s diary and poster in cricket club. I would like to say a big thank you to Dave for putting on the sandwiches and tea and coffee. This was a good help to us. It was nice to see people we haven't seen for nearly 2 years. Thanks also to those that helped with tombola and raffle. Now is the time to clean out that shed and bring it to auction night. I mean the contents not the shed!! If you have nothing to throw away come to the auction and I will sell you something. Now that you are all keen to spend money don’t forget party tickets. Only 1 club night after auction. The attendance at cricket club is on the up and tickets will be advertised on their notice board. Don’t miss out. See you soon
Ernie.

Hello and welcome to your October Newsletter.
Next club night will be on the 20th of October and will be Auction night.
We hope you are all well and eager to join us for our famous Auction night. As we have reported in the past this is an event not to be missed. It is a mixture of Bargain hunt and Cracker Jack. There are bargains to be had, of this there is no doubt; however you could go home with an armful of stuff you didn’t expect and possibly a few cabbages as well.
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’s a fun night for all, please come and join us you will not be disappointed. If you have anything you would like to donate to be put up for auction we would be grateful. Anything is saleable when you have an auctioneer as good as ours. We use the money to help fund the Christmas Party.... .(Yes Mr Briggs it is getting close!!!!) So anything you can spare for us to sell will be most helpful.
OUR GATHERING.
We had a fantastic day. The turnout was outstanding. We saw people that some of us had not seen in almost 2 years. Happy days. You excelled yourselves. We had a tombola stall and held a raffle. We raised a magnificent total of £58.50. Thank you to all who bought tickets and tried their luck on the Tombola . With the club serving bacon and sausage buns along with tea and coffee we were well looked after. The weather was also very kind to us. With a few drops of rain in the morning, turning into sunshine in the afternoon. It was a good day. It was a difficult job judging the exhibits they were all very well turned out.
Thanks to our regular advert appearing in Morgan’s Diary we had received a number of enquiries the previous week as to whether the Gathering was happening and who was eligible to attend. This proved beneficial to ourselves and other enthusiasts keen to get out after a difficult 18 months.

While he was visiting, my dad asked for the password for the Wi-Fi. “Its taped under the modem” I told him. After 3 failed attempts to log on, he asked me “Am I spelling it right? T-A-P-E-D-U-N-D-E-R-T-H-E-M-O-D-E-M?
