Derby Notts Monthly Pub Meet! 7pm on 7th September @ The Clock Warehouse

[Rob Hunter - Club Secretary]

It's that time again for the Derby & Notts pub social meet!

 

As always, we are at the Clock Warehouse in Shardlow (DE72 2GL) at 7pm, parking in the lower right hand car park. If you would like food/drink then order at the bar before heading to the upstairs room 👍

 

Westfields are optional (I may be in the tintop myself depending on the dreaded commute), but chat and laughter with friends and fellow petrolheads is compulsory 😂

 

Hope to see you there!

Another fun evening last night!

 

Sadly, I'd been in Liverpool all day so hadn't had time to fetch the Westfield... typical bad timing given the glorious weather 🤦‍♂️

 

Steve arrived first in the lovely MK, soon followed by Garry and Sandra, Rachael and Iain, then Paul (in the VX220 Turbo). Minutes later we hear the distant roar of a redtop signifying Gavins arrival in his Westfield.

 

Rachael and Iain informed me that they'd passed a blue Westfield that seemed to be lost so I jogged (OK, maybe more a brisk walk 😂) to the main road to try and flag it down.... thankfully the driver stopped for the mad man waving at him from the pavement!

 

This turned out to be Tim (potential new member from Tamworth) who was coming to his first meeting. Tim's car is a beautiful dark blue Sport 250 that he'd built himself and had come along to see what the WSCC is all about. Fortuitously, Martyn had come along (also from Tamworth) so we had the opportunity to let Tim know of all the members and meets we do between the two areas, fingers crossed he joins up and becomes a regular.

 

Later we were also joined by Del and Julie in the TR6 and Dom had made the journey over from Stoke in the Z4.

 

The pub had cordoned off part of the car park for an event over the weekend so we had to take the opportunity to us it as our personal parking 😂

 

 

I find it amazing how far some people travel for this popular social meet, we really do appreciate the commitment!

 

As always we had lots of chat and banter about recent meets, track days and tons of advice on technical things (both daily drivers and our midlife crisis cars).

 

Obviously word had spread that I would soon be trying to fill the large shoes of Scott as Club Secretary, so I was subjected to a load of leg pulling about wearing pencil skirts etc.... Huge thanks to @Steve Bosworth for this little gem! 😂

 

 

Cracking evening, huge thanks to everyone for coming along and making it such great fun, see you on the next one 👍
