Peak Section Meetings

The Peak section meets on the first Sunday lunchtime of the even month. We do not have a regular meeting place as we like to visit new pubs and venues. We also take part in other events such as the annual High Peak Historic Vehicle Club Run in June.

For details of our programme of events please email us.

Peak Section

Drive it Day 2010

The Peak section met at Carole and Richard Carlin’s house to start our tour of South Derbyshire. 11 Tractions made their way around an excellent route devised by Richard via many places of interest including Staunton Harold Estate and garden centre. A short stop of about 40mins ensued allowing a brief browse around a beautiful part of England. We then eventually [32 BYK coughed and spluttered into life] made our way to Repton (famous for its school) to the Bull’s Head pub for a hearty lunch and banter. The food was super and very reasonable.

Rob Kiff was almost lynched by the ladies for taking the last crème broulle but he escaped so better luck next time ladies. All in all a most enjoyable “drive it day” in nice weather. Many thanks to Carole and Richard for their generous helpings of coffee and biscuits before the start and for guiding us around the route and well done to everyone who attended.

June 2010 Meeting

We started off from our house in Tansley and had a scenic tour through various hills and dales in Derbyshire and Staffordshire stopping at Carsington Reservoir and ending up with a dry and sunny picnic at Froghall Wharf. 7 Tractions and one Ford (Martyn’s car decided to have a day off!) plus 17 people attended so yet another excellent turnout.

The photograph is of Tractions parked next to Tansley Church.

 

There will no local meeting in August as most of us will be at the Annual rally.

 

The next meeting is on Sunday October 3^rd when we will have our annual pilgrimage to the Yew Tree in Cauldon. If you have never been there we highly recommend a visit. The beer is excellent but they only serve light lunches at extremely cheap prices for both. Come and see Martyn tackle a large local pork pie!

 

 

February 2010

 

We met at the Knockerdown Inn near Carsington Water for our February gathering and lunch.

I was so pleased that we had 19 people there. We must be the most ‘un local’ group in the TOC as members came from Yorkshire, the Wirral, Cheshire, Staffordshire, Notts and Oxfordshire. There were only 4 of us who actually live in Derbyshire.

 

Our next meeting will be on Sunday 25^th April which is Drive It Day.

Richard Carlin has volunteered to organise a Run with a lunchtime stop in a Pub.

Hopefully we will have a good display of cars so we can add a photograph of cars and members to the Section News on the website.

When details are finalised I will email them out to local members - if you are not on our Peak email list but wish to join us then just get in touch.
