THE NORTHERN VINTAGE TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION
NEWSLETTER FOR FEBRUARY 2022
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
The club will be meeting again on the 16th of February
Happy New year to all our members.
Hope you are all starting the year in fine fettle.
Once again we welcome you to your monthly newsletter
. This is the first newsletter of the year as it was decided to cancel our January meeting. It was felt that due to the reluctance of members wishing to mix with other people and the dark nights it would be better to cancel this meeting
As a result of this we will now be running the AGM along side of the members renewal night.
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.

.

The first part of the night will be allocated to presenting the details for our AGM.
The night will start with a outline of the clubs plans for the future and a invitation to voice any concerns you may have to the running of the club
The treasure will give an outline of the financial position of the club and the secretary will also be available to answer any questions you may have.
We hope you will join us as it is your club and we need to know what you need from it.
We will then be taking the renewal of membership payment. This will once again be £15 per couple. It will also include your Public Liability insurance. You can pay by cash or cheque on the night and also renew by post sending a cheque payable to NVTA to Mavis Bailey her address is at the beginning of this newsletter.
We are sorry but we are not ordering the Morgan’s as we have to order to many to make it viable.
You can order them by post from Morgans year book, Burnley Wharf (block C)
Manchester Road, Burnley,BB11 1JG.
Or email them at info@morgansyearbook.co.uk If you did get one last year you will find order form in the back.

Christmas Party
Would just like to take a minute to thank all of you who came and supported our Christmas party. (seems a long time ago now) Without you we would have no party or indeed no club. You once again excelled at bringing raffle prizes. You are brilliant. Every one of you. I think you will agree it was a good night. How Debra kept up the energy throughout the night I don’t know. She was great. Thanks also have to go to Ernie and Mavis for all the organisation that goes on in the back ground. Without your input the party would not have been the success it was. Cheers
16th MARCH CLUB NIGHT
We have the gentleman from Beamish to come and give us a talk on transport. We had to cancel because of lock down. Really looking forward to it. Should be really interesting. If you have ever been to Beamish you will know they have some fabulous vehicles on show there. Can’t wait to hear what he has to tell us. So please come along and join us if you can. It promises to be a good one
.
He is also hoping to bring someone with him to update us on the work on the 50’s village. Some of you may remember the fish fryers from Middleton St George were moved there. Hope to see you all. Meetings are open to visitors.

RALLY SEASON
It is to be hoped that this year sees us all out and about again. If you get any information you think may interest our members please copy booking form and let us have that information. I know many of you already looking forward to long weekend at Newby Hall for Tractorfest. Due to extra Bank Holiday this year it does not clash with Corbridge. There you go 2 already.
AND FINALLY
Just had a delivery from Iceland . Felt so sorry for the driver. He told me that he had had to go home to get changed. Said he had wet himself. Told me the office was not very helpful when he rang to ask for half a hour off. They asked him where he was ringing from. He told them “From the waist down”
