South West, Devon Area news
June 2024 in Devon
A lot of Club cars at Darts Farm show at Topsham. A first for us but a def for next year’s diary. Good to catch up with some members we have not seen for a while, including Pete with his stunning Merc.
June Club Night was, for once, held in brilliant weather which tempted 15 cars out to play. Great food as always at the Star. Cars, good weather and food, can we ask for more?
Inter-Club International at Malvern. This was like the ‘old days’ of national shows. Organised by the TR Register with TSSC and the MG Car Club, it was packed with around 40 invited and supporting car clubs of all different makes and models. It made a spectacular event and by doing it as a collaboration must surely be the way forward for these events. No individual Club can risk the considerable costs of hiring a showground like the Three Counties in isolation. There were planned road trips, bus to Worcester, visit to the Morgan factory, Live music in the Halls, more trade stands and auto jumblers than we have seen for many years. There were some who felt it was expensive but just look at what you got – great camping facilities on the field, Concours for whose who wanted it, Auto Solos and stunt driving displays to name a few, as well as the opportunity to catch up with friends from all over the country and beyond. Compare the cost of attending a concert or a football match and I know where my vote would be! Wayne was in good voice in the Arena all weekend – just how does he do it? I had the pleasure of judging the best 40s style dressed – some still competition there. Big surprise for us – a previous owner of my Stag ‘Frugal’ just happened to be walking up the TSSC area and spied the car, which he owned some 30 plus years ago. Needless to say, we were both delighted.
