NEC Show

Once again ACTC has a stand at the Classic Car Show at the NEC 10/11th November.

We therefore need volunteers to man the stand - people who are happy to extol the vitues of our sport to the great unwashed  sorry the general public.    If you volunteer to assist on the stand you get a free entry and you get to see all the great videos we have.     Any one who can assist in this, please could they contact Alun Lewis  alun_lewis@hotmail.com

Thanks....

Hi,

 

Welcome to our community.

 

Just a quick reminder that as we can't work out your real name from your nickname or e-mail address we would like you to put your real name on your pots as this is a "real name zone".

 

See the community rules for more details.

 

I see you are interested in the Exter Trial. You have come to the right place to ask queastions but you can also find out more from the MCC site. See "Links".

Photo 30 Blast from the Past - Note from David Malin

The lad in the car is indeed in his 40's. He is my brother Brian Malin who went on to compete in Classic Trials wih a Mk 5 Buckler. The car is being driven by my father Ken who on occassions can still be spotted on MCC events.

 

Although he still owns the car it has not been used for many years.

Blast from the Past

Exeter 2002 - Seat wanted

My regular chauffeur for Exeter has booked himself a skiing holiday for the relevant week end.  Result, no Exeter.

So, if there's anybody out there that needs a fairly experienced passenger (four Exeters from 1997) I'm ready and willing to join you.

Open car/Class 8 preferred.

 

E-mail me at chris_n_p@hotmail.com if you are interested.

Founders Night in Bristol Area

We intend to arrange something in the Bristol area and would like to establish the level of interest. Possibly using "The Crown" Allen start venue.

If you would be interested please phone Alan Spencer on 01179 712587 or Email me address in members area.

Please pass on to anyone else who might be interested.

EXETER TRIAL

Entries are still coming in well and we hear the hotel is actually full up. However there are still some dinner tickets and of course this is in an area with lots of hotels nearby.

Bookings are already heavy for the Bay Hotel at Newquay which is the finishing point for next Easter`s LANDS END TRIAL and the Ugalde travel agency seems to have taken over the next door hotel for the benefit of competitors who just want to stay the Saturday night and take part in the club supper and general merriment. The person to speak to is Anne Ugalde on 01395 597620.

FOUNDERS NIGHT.

First an apology to Derek Chatto who is organising the local event in Derbyshire for quoting the wrong telephone number in Triple. His real number is 01773 853635 His event promises to be somewhat novel with a gentle tour in the afternoon to work up a thirst for the evening. Sounds good!

John Turner

who is organising the event for the Devon/Cornwall borderers has booked dinner at 짙7.95 a head at the Wilsey Down Hotel which many of you will know as the breakfast/lunch stop on the Lands End Trial. It`s a jolly place and well MCC orientated.

INVITATIONS

First the good news. We hear that the Camel Vale Club will be running a single venue classic trial in Cardinham Woods sometime in November to which MCC will be invited. No more details at present but we`ll keep you informed.

And now the bad. The Woolbridge Club has had to cancel its Hardy Classic due to the effects of you know what.

Will we never get back to normal………… but let`s end this week on a happy note ………

RESCUED

Just when it appeared that the late Allin Panhale`s well known VW Notchback had gone to that great scrapyard in the sky we hear news that Adrian Marfell has rescued it. We don`t know what he intends for its future but if you are interested he can be found on 01989 770679. It`s always sad when a well respected car disappears so let`s hope we shall see this one in action again soon.

 

Don`t forget to let us have your news and comments at the address shown above …….

And watch the MCC web site to keep up to date with what is happening in your club.
