On the first Thursday we welcomed Peter Veal to the Centre. Peter is the proud owner of a Series II Morgan 4/4 - a very rare car indeed. We also welcomed another new member John Sherwood from the Mini Owners Club! John Gibson also joined us even though he had only really dropped in to see Albert Koo - a dangerous thing to do John.
I would like thank Ann and Dave Vodden very much for all their hard work in devising a marvellous Treasure Hunt Challenge. I had the pleasure of handing out the Trophy to the winning team while Ann handed out colour certificates for all the competitors that had managed to finish. Third place went to Mary and James McLaren and their lovely new baby, runners up were Crispin, Julie, Matthew, and Dominic Elt. And the winners were George Green and Chris Rowe. Congratulations to everyone that took part and especially to the winners. Everyone I spoke to thoroughly enjoyed the hunt and we all learnt something new as well!
In the latest edition of the Thames Valley Centre Newsletter (TVCN) Chris Rowe describes some recent successes for the Sporting Bears charity car club and reviews some new technology for assisting drivers with disabilities. Robert Varley provides some useful advice on the one shot lubricator and Mary McLaren describes some difficult times living with a husband giving birth! Subscription details are available from myself (Centre Secretary).
