Hello I hope you have had a good Summer. This newsletter is early as it will be our annual gathering before club night. Gathering is Sunday 18th Sept at Croft Club. Lets hope we have a good turn out. There is a good sized grass field and if you want to make a weekend of it you can as you can camp on site for £3 per night. This is payable to Croft Club when you arrive. I do know this year there is a steam rally at Barnard Castle but our Gathering is the same weekend we have always had so it would be nice to see our members support our first show at Croft. It may be a good chance to clean out your shed and have a car boot sale. I hope to see a good turn out at our first club meeting at Croft on Wed 21st .You will find the drinks a lot cheaper than the Cricket Club and there will be food on sale every month so come along support YOUR Club.
Thank you.
. Ernie.

WENSLEYDALE SHOW
We once again visited this cracking show. There are things there for everyone. The weather was glorious. I have never seen such beautiful turned out horses. They were a credit to their owners. Same goes for the cattle. How many hours it must take to prepare the stock. I love the produce tent with the love and work that into growing and presenting the flowers and vegetables. The handicrafts and baking just leave me envious of all the extremely talented people out there. Even the school children get in on the act with animals made from vegetables, miniature gardens even jewellery made from sweets.
Of course we also attend to display our vintage vehicles and you couldn’t fail to be impressed by the display of cars, tractors and commercial vehicles. If you have never been to this show I would recommend a visit.

AND FINALLY
Dog sees a poster for a job outside a store. Poster says “Must be able to type. Must be able to program and must be bi lingual “He takes the poster in his mouth and goes in. The manager sees the dog and decides to humour him. “All right if you want to work here you need to first write a letter with a word processor”30 minutes later the dog has typed a perfect letter, error free.. Well he’s a smart dog but can he programme he asks himself. 20 minutes later and the dog has made a perfect website. Manager says to the dog” Look I know you have qualifications but you’re a dog” The dog points his paw to the words “we are an equal opportunity employer” The manager sighs “ There is no way you are bi-lingual”
The dog looks him in the eyes and says “Meow”
