Coventry June News
Our first club outing in April was to Daffodil Sunday, Monks Kirby on the 7th, 11 of us in 6 classic cars enjoyed a show where there was a good turnout of classic cars, approximately 100 in total, the day was a little chilly but dry, all proceeds go to charity, so a go on the tombola stall was a must and very rewarding as well as we won 3 bottles of wine, not bad for a fiver.
The following Sunday the 14th was the Heart of England meet at Bulkington, a nice day weather wise resulting in a lot better turnout we counted 36 vehicles in total and a lot of work has now been carried out at the rear of the Club in readiness for a new lawn area which when finished should lead to a more attractive venue.
Easter Weekend we attended the Gemini Motofest at Chetwynd Deer Park this being a new venue for them, the setting was superb, along with Paul & Joan we camped over looking the lake. On the Sunday we were joined by Roger & Dot and on the Monday Chris & Alex, Sunday was a very good turnout but Monday was a little quiet due possibly to Weston Park , which is just down the road holding an event run by The Classic Car Shows. The weather was fantastic, bright sunshine all weekend, but not many stalls to peruse around and also no beer tent or bar.
Sunday 28th it was off to the Oddhouse at Snareston for their Classic Car and Rock 'N' Roll day, again 11 of us in 6 cars in our group in our St Georges / England Regalia which included Phil with his hand bag, see photo's. About 36 cars in total turned out, a lot of them we hadn't seen before which included 2 Model T's and a least a dozen American ones. A day with a difference but very enjoyable, the rock band was unfortunately inside the pub so not quite the atmosphere we were expecting and the carvery left a little bit to be desired, but hey with a free meal for all the drivers we are not complaining and the draught Bass was excellent.
Our monthly meeting at the Bull & Butcher on Tuesday 7th May was well attended with 8 of us enjoying a meal in the restaurant before being joined by a further 11 for the meeting, Ann opened the paddock at the rear of the pub for us to display our cars but for various reasons only 3 Triumphs were on show, lets hope for a better display next month, come on folks dig your beautiful cars out and join us.Â
