South West, Cornwall Area news
Cornwall May News
At March's club night our friends from Devon, Irene and John attended, who were enjoying a little break away in Newquay, good to see you both. A very productive meeting lots of plans made for the coming months. By the time you are reading this The lands End Trial, Easter Saturday Meal and Drive it Day will all have taken place and news of these events will be in next month edition. Our March Car Run and lunch out was organised by Steve and Jo who have written a few words below:
Couldn’t believe our turn had come around again to organise a run and lunch, where does the time go!  We decided to head for a run across Dartmoor, pub picked, map consulted. We headed out for a pre-run Sunday lunch at our chosen destination, Bearslake Inn, and on enquiring with the Landlord whether he could accommodate us it turned out he was a member of the TSSC Devon branch!  Sunday dawned with a mixture of very heavy showers interspersed with sunshine. We gathered for coffee at the Engine House, Kit Hill, a good crowd turned out and thank you to all who did support us, both for the distance you travelled and the weather conditions you endured getting there. Â
Luckily by the time we left the Engine House the sun was out! Our run through the country lanes via Luckett and over the bridge at Horsebridge was festooned with daffodils and primroses. The route took us past Brent Tor but unfortunately time constraints did not allow us to stop, I believe some members re-visited after the lunch, then on through Lydford to our ultimate destination. Our arrival at the pub was greeted by a photographer that Julian and Lisa, Landlords, had arranged unbeknown to us, this resulted in some lovely photos appearing on the pub’s Facebook page, thank you Darren Negus for the pictures.  Our picture puzzled us for a while as the position of the car was not how we parked it, then we spied that we were still in the car so it was obviously taken on our arrival! We were all well looked after and thoroughly enjoyed our meals, thank you to Julian and Lisa for your hospitality. A sigh of relief when everyone said what a lovely time they had had, map away until next time!
A great drive for me in my friends car a beautiful 2ltr Vitesse, a car he has had for many years, kindly on loan to me since December, whilst mine was having some repairs. I can now say that the little car is back with his owner, I shall miss it but look forward to my new Spitfire and journeys ahead, can't wait to take it on a good run which it will be on as you read this my trip to the Isle of Wight.
Final numbers needed for Colins event to Southfork Caravan Park, Martock, Somerset on 31st May - Mon 4th June
And also for our Cornwall Event at Pentire Coastal Holiday Park, Kilkhampton, Bude on Fri 28th - Sun 30th June.
That's all the news from me look forward to seeing you out and about soon.
Safe and Happy Motoring
Carol
