@AndrewBClarke and I are obviously just made of different stuff! 😂

 

[Breakable?]

Great to catch up with people we haven’t seen for a while and some new faces today at strines inn, wish the weather had been better but got to take poppy the pup with us to meet everyone. Hope this can become a more regular meet and looking forward to the next one.

Des, Deb and poppy

Haha, it was a bit moist!

 

Being on semi slicks, it was quite good fun carefully balancing enough speed to keep the weather out of the cockpit and not ending up in a ditch 😂

 

Amazingly I didn't hit any proper rain there or back 🤷‍♂️

Not a Westfield friendly day, so credit to @Rob Hunter Derby & Notts AO and @AndrewBClarke for being either brave or daft enough to come. 

Good to put faces to names.  

Could be a good place for a multi area meeting where there's the possibility of 30 to 40 cars, if the weather is favourable.

If we can get a large gathering of cars I’ll get the drone up for epic aerial 😬

I did!! Biblical but fun all the same. 
 

ps your advice of not getting wet if you go over 90 mph doesn’t work 

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Well done all, great to see so many faces old and new!

The is mad and there is stupidly mad. The latter doesn’t have a roof!!

The two people that live the furthest away were the two that came in their Westfield's, I take my woolly hat off to you both, well done Andrew and Rob, pictured outside The Strines Inn.

 

 

We came in our MX5 and others came in their dailies too. When I saw that Tricky Richard had posted I must admit that I licked my lips, thinking ooo he will come in something interesting. He did not disappoint in his growling BM that had been 'done' putting out over 400bhp. 

 

 

There is a first time for everything and this was our first Poppy Puppy on a meet, bought along by Des and Debs, cute eh.

 

 

The first fire of the winter season as shown by our model, Hedley

 

 

This was us having a jolly good chin wag, a combination of 4 areas with 4 AO's. Yorkshire, Derby & Notts, Cheshire & N Staffs and Peak District, well done to all.

 

 

A car meet isn't proper unless cake is involved so off we went to Bird Cafe for some goodies.

 

 

I had Pear and Raspberry Crumble with custard, which I was impressed with until Andrew's arrived, with loads more custard which looked thicker and creamier too. @Andy Westwood @aeg

Parked at Bird Cafe, so called because you watch the birds on the feeders by the river from the window.

 

 

It has been great to all meet up and have a good chat, the weather could have been better but I don't think it could have been any warmer in October. We all agreed that the venue was excellent so watch out for another 'Multi Area Meet at The Strines Inn' coming in the Spring.
