Derby Notts Monthly Pub Meet! 7pm on 3rd August @ The Clock Warehouse

[Rob Hunter - Club Secretary]

It's that time again for some beer, food and banter at the Clock Warehouse (DE72 2GL) for the monthly social!

 

As usual we will park in the right hand car park and will be in the upstairs room at about 7pm.

 

Hopefully the weather will be Westfield friendly 👍

I had been working in Castle Donington (2 miles from the Clock Warehouse) and the forecast looked great so I thought I'd go in the Westfield to save me the trip back and forth later in the day.

 

The weather forecast was brilliantly accurate.... 😂

 

 

Arriving at the Clock the weather was actually quite nice. 

 

On top of our regulars who came in various tintops (work and weather worries conspired against Westfields) we had some new faces at the meet.

 

Dan arrived in his green Westfield that he'd recently got back on the road. Dan has been on a Peaks run a year or two ago before the car needed work and some of you met him at Donington for the recent track day.

 

Another new face was George who some of you may know from the Thames Valley area. He has recently moved to Matlock with his red 3.9 SEIGHT so hopefully we will be meeting on his doorstep when we get a good weekend.

 

After the introductions we got down to the serious business of polishing off some food and exchanging hilarious stories of the recent Donington and Newark events, both of which included copious amounts of precipitation. 

 

 

A couple of shots of the cars...

 

Dan's car flanked by Del's Jaaaaaaggg. The EV's behind were Steve (9 volt) and Gavin (12 volt) 😂

 

Paul's lovely VX220 Turbo next to mine. Yes, I got some leg pulling for keeping the Javelin sticker on and my jaunty parking angle!

 

 

George's glorious sounding SEIGHT 

 

 

Brilliant to see you all and thanks for coming along, hope you got home safe 👍
