Hello I hope you are all well. All we want now is the weather to Improve and warm up a bit. Not long now before rallies will be starting and we can get out and about again. Things will seem strange this year I’m sure. Easter will have been by the time of our next meeting so if you are full of Easter eggs come to club night and be full of pie and peas. We have ordered 20 to see how it goes. If we sell them all that will be good if not I know what the committee are eating the rest of the week. See you soon
Ernie.

Hello again. Spring is just around the corner and the snowdrops are out. Days are getting longer. We will be out and about very soon.
NEXT CLUB NIGHT IS THE 20TH APRIL
We are having an Easter themed meeting so we hope you will be able to join us. Anything you would like to do a nice Easter card, dyed egg or decorated cake!!!
We would love you to bring your Picaso or your Banksy out. There will be a quiz for those of you not so inclined in the crafts.
Look forward to seeing you there.
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.

March Club Night
We invited Matthew Ellis to come down and give us a talk about the transport that he looks after at Beamish Museum
He has the grand title of Keeper of Transport. This young man was passionate about transport and his enthusiasm was evident in the talk he gave us. His talk was backed up with photos of the transformation of vehicles as they went from almost total wrecks to pristine examples of how they would have looked when they first came out of the workshop.
He gave us a great night out and was happy to answer any of our questions.
Matthew was accompanied by Tasha (sorry didn’t get your surname). Tasha visited us about 4 years ago. Some of you may have remembered her. She brought us up to date with progress on the 50s village which is now open. She told us that the fryers in the fish shop in the village were taken from Middleton St George. It would seem that there are lots of obstacles to be overcome when doing this in order to satisfy current health and safety regulations.
There are a row of terraced houses and the modelling on one of these is from a house in Spennymoor.
They also have a hairdresser where you can get your hair styled in the fashion of the 50s.
We really enjoyed the night so thank you both for coming.

May club night is on the 18th May.
Once again it is BRING YOUR VEHICLE NIGHT
Polish your car, van, bike or anything else you may have.
We look forward to seeing you and your exhibits. Keep your fingers crossed for a fine night. We need a good catch up with everyone.
Hopefully things are getting back to normal and we will be able to see more of friends over the coming months.
