Hello and thank you to all our members that managed to come to Croft to the first Sunday show. We had about 25 cars, 35 scooters,10 motorbikes and 1 tractor. Plus 8 auto jumble stalls and 1 static display. A good day was had by all. The burger van did well and sold out late afternoon. Thank you to the staff on food bar and club bar staff.
The following Wednesday was our first meeting at Croft. Turnout was not as good as I had hoped for. About 15 members turned up. The club did us well with a large chose of toasties at only £1.50. They were very nice.
This months meeting is Auction night so clean out that shed and whatever you want to bring. Don’t forget to bring yourself and a friend. It is only £2.40 a pint that’s beer not water or coffee for 50p a cup. It’s cheaper than staying at home so please make the effort and support your club. Thanks
. Ernie.

Hello
We once again welcome to your October Newsletter.
October club night will be on the 19th .
We will be holding the Annual Auction. We ask you to bring unwanted items you may have in your house or garage. Or indeed anywhere. You donate them to us, and we then sell them. Sounds easy well I suppose it is. However, there is a catch Our Auctioneer is so good at his job it is quite possible you will be taking home things that you brought in the first place. Whatever happens you will defiantly get value for money You never know you might find just what you are looking for at a price that is right. Sounds daft, well it is really but believe me it is genuine fun.
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.

FACE BOOK PAGE
Our Facebook page had been getting hacked with some people using it as a site for advertising job vacancies. So, I attempted to sort it out. Did not turn out well think I blocked everyone. If I blocked you SORRY. I have now handed it over to Dave Doremro. He knows a lot more than I could ever know. So could all of you who were in the group before please, click on the page
THE NORTHERN VINTAGE TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION
And get the page up and running again, I promise it will be better with Dave running it.

SEPTEMBER GATHERING
As you all know we held our Yearly club show on the 18th. It turned out that a new show in the area tempted a few members away. However, we still managed to have a good turnout. With the day starting sunny but a bit windy. Before we had even gotten our bike on to the field there was a steady stream of both car booters and exhibiters. With scooters, cars and even a tractor managed to find us. We had a few old friends drop in to see us it was lovely to see them. We had stayed for the weekend in the camping field with Camping only £5 a night and that included electric. It was a chilled weekend. We had extra visitors who came over from the camp site. All in all, it was a lovely day

NOVEMBER CLUB NIGHT
This will be on the 16th of the month. We are still trying to arrange something for the night will let you know in our next newsletter.
