November 2016

  During the early autumn noggins at the Bird In Hand, Quentin and Judy Mitchell said goodbye to us all as they went off for their new life in Hopmog land. They are moving to be closer to their son who lives in Kent. These were sad occasions as Quentin and Judy have been members of the Centre for a long time. They have supported many of our events over the years and have been wonderful company being good friends to many people in the Centre. I first met their daughter Debbie at Ian Sollen’s excellent charity event at Brooklands

At the time of writing I had just completed the third Thames Tour as the wingman for Tim Jones which was quite an honour as you can imagine. Tim piloted us well round Windsor mixing it with what I believe was a recent Plus 4 Super-Sports. I got a photo and we did wave at each other. If the owner is reading this report, however, then please let us know if I identified you correctly. We ventured forth to the Windsor Castle Classic Car show, went on for nice lunch, followed by a visit to SGT. I don’t want to

At the time of writing I was looking forward to our Fawley Hill Museum visit. Terry Tedman has been able to get us back to the Museum earlier than we had expected, which is great. By the time you read this, I will have had another ride on the wonderful carrousel and numerous goes on the train, and of course, I will have seen Tim Janes working hard as one of the volunteers at the museum without whom there would be no event. The summer has been and gone, and as ever, it seems to go really quickly. So I

I would like to thank everyone that attended our recent AGM. These formalities can be unpopular for some but we followed up the AGM with a useful discussion on future events with some exciting ideas for visits to Normandy and various activities and places. Please watch this space.

I am pleased to report that we are returning, by popular demand, to the Fawley Hill Museum on Sunday 14th August 2016. Terry Tedman has been able to get us back to the Museum earlier than we had expected. This is a great day out. Last year I had my first ride on a steam driven carrousel. I have always loved the horses. The museum itself is a delight to all rail enthusiasts and of course there are the regular rides on the train around the grounds of the estate with plenty of wildlife to spot. Our very own Tim
