Curborough 60th anniversary - 10am 9th July 2023

[Rob Hunter - Club Secretary]

We are heading to Curborough in the morning (for about 10am) for their anniversary sprint.

 

Curborough itself is 60 years old (as a sprint course, obviously older as an RAF base) and Shenstone and District Car Club (who run Curborough) is 90 years old!

 

The Owen Motor Club will be there with a classic car display as well as an Italian car meet.

 

The cafe is open and spectators are free as usual 👍

 

Hope to see some of you there!

See you there x

Bit of a last minute meet as the forecast was a bit changeable..... 

 

We still managed eight cars!

 

 

 

 

 

Julie and Glen came along in the MX5 plus Andy and then Tony also arrived in their dailies.

 

Thankfully the forecast was wrong and it turned out a beautiful day and the car park was full of stunning motors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After a chat and a brew, we headed for the paddock....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Given the weather was stunning, I suggested we head to the Honey Pot Tea Rooms in Rosliston for lunch. It's a hidden gem with some amazing food and cakes on offer.

 

After filling our faces with doorstop sandwiches or mahoosive slices of cake we headed off to catch the British GP!

 

A big thanks to everyone that came along, hope you got home safe 👍

OK, it was hot sunshine ALL day long, great for Westfield driver's, rubbish for idiots like me that chose the wrong car, I am not bitter about it, no, I just need to go and kick the nearest meteorologist, let me at 'em.

 

Andy and me in our dailies, umph.

 

 

The lovely Westfield's 

 

 

Gary's beautiful MEV and another Westfield just to taunt me

 

 

Into the paddocks

 

 

 

 

'Are we going up the Honey Pot' well it's an offer one can't refuse can one😲

 

Our Derby Notts leader tamed his driving style down for the lesser cars in the pack and we finally arrived at cake heaven

 

 

 

 

Nothing ladylike about eating this I can promise you

 

 

As the sun insisted on shining it was a shame to go home without passing through the Peak District and stopping at Quackers on the way

 

 

Thanks guys for a marvellous day out and be sure not to mention who got the wrong car out this morning🤣

Unfortunately it was raining when I left for Curborough so took the tin top. When I got to Curborough the weather was lovely. Great to meet up with everyone.

It seems that @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative is up for sale. Maybe Glen is trying to get a chance to drive the westy by selling the misses off.🤣😂

Please don't add any comments about the photos, it just wouldn't be right 😉🤣

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Everything on a Westfield costs £2.25, that's right isn't it guys? 😉
