Hi, everyone. Tuesday 5th March was another cold and wet night, but our meeting was well attended, people having returned from holidays. M.G. Pete was well prepared listing events for attending, with forms to fill in with details of numbers interested, cars, etc. Alison sold tickets for another well supported raffle. Ken gave details of his sister Lorraine's funeral arrangements, a lovely lady who never complained even when she was going through her treatment, but sadly she finally lost her battle with cancer. She will be remembered with great fondness by us all, and our condolences go to husband Phil, brother Ken and his wife, Ann. In spite of the sadness felt, the meeting went very well, and everybody had a good chat and catch-up with those who had returned from their trips. On Saturday 23rd Roger, along with four Jaguar friends, joined Anglesey classic car enthusiasts to attend the Practical Classic Car & Restoration Show at the N.E.C., a very varied show of classic cars and, of course, memorabilia and spares. A most enjoyable but tiring day, so the coach was the best way to travel. Tuesday 26th March was our OFFAL run, and twenty-five of our M.G. and Triumph group met at the Alderford Lake cafe for the usual teas, coffees and route plans, prepared by M.G. Phil and Ilene. They had sorted a very pleasant drive through the picturesque countryside. At one point we had to wait at a level crossing for a train to pass, then a short distance down the road we had to wait again for the road bridge to be lowered, as it had been raised to allow canal boats through. We ended up at the Swan Inn in Marbury, near Whitchurch, for our pre-booked lunches which were thoroughly enjoyed by all. The noise always decreases when the food comes along, this is very noticeable! Another lovely day in great company. That's all for now, at the time of writing this the season is only just getting under way, so let's all get out and have a good time. Meanwhile, please remember that our meetings are held at The Trevor Arms in Marford on the first Tuesday of the month at 8.00 p.m. Come and meet us all, and have a chat.
