February 2007 was a well attended meeting with some 14 members overflowing from the round table. with a new member attending.
March 2007 meeting was on Mothers day, thank goodness we have our TOC round table reserved for us. there was much discussion on the Gibraltar rally with James Yeats the social secretary answering questions on the trip, Alec Bilney (Admiral Bilney) with his plans for drive it day, and then of course the Annual Rally. Our youngest member Maria (6 months) Daughter of Katerina and Yarik was introduced to our meeting.
 


10 members attended our first meeting of the year. Which proved to be an important meeting, as we had made provisional bookings for the national rally to be held in our area this year, and needed to be discussed.  All heads down as Carol Bilney studies the suggested weekend for 3-5th August 2007. We ended the meeting outside literally chilling out.

 


Our 2006 Christmas Lunch in the Malting house at the Barley Mow was well attended with so far a record number of 47 members and friends attending.  Our newly elected President Bernie Shaw and his wife Pearl travelled down from Northamptonshire  to join us.  It was apt that they won a filled picnic basket in our annual raffle, this year the fluffy dog went home with Carol and Alec, and as seen, has taken over the driving seat of Alec’s 6. We were pleased to welcome new members to their first Christmas lunch, and once again we thank Barry, Gloria Annalls and family for bringing founder member Fred from Lincolnshire to swell our numbers, Tony and Maria Hodgekiss also came up from Sussex. See the pictures here.

16th April 2006 - I had not realised when I planned the trip to Tony Olivers Museum nr. Eaton that it would be Easter Sunday.

We had a good number of cars and even more members joined us at the museum totalling 19 persons, it was an extremely interesting museum to be highly recommended.

 


19th February 2006 - Fortunately the weather was not as bad as had been forecast, and therefore those hardy members of our section who had decided to join the guided walk with Esher Common ranger, from horseshoe clump car park were able to do so under overcast skies but dry conditions .
Having enjoyed a very pleasant walk with interesting information from our friendly ranger, we then retired to our cars, set aside our environmental hats, and polluted like hell the next mile to our monthly meeting at The Fairmile, Cobham, Surrey, were we have been allocated a non smoking quiet room by the management.
It was very interesting to meet in addition to our usual stalwarts, Ray Barnett, his wife Ann and daughter Natalie, who had driven up from Beaulieu, in their elegant light fifteen. A sporting effort indeed!  After much conversation we set off home in the expected pouring rain and sleet. Roll on Springtime!


February 15 2004 at the Fairmile Arms. A good meeting with a large number of members attending including a new member - John


New Years Day 2004 at the Barley Mow. The Vintage Sports Car club meeting was rather more well attended than our normal meetings, but it would have been good to have some Tractions on display. We would have needed to be there early though as latecomers had to park in the road.
December 2003 - Christmas at the Barley Mow. A break in the weather gave us a dry and sunny day with over 40 people sitting down to the Christmas lunch.

February 2003 - the Barley Mow. A cold but sunny meeting marked a quiet meeting with just three cars on show

January 2003 - the Barley Mow. Overnight rain must have made some people think twice about todays meeting, but true to form the sky cleared and the sun came out. After a splendid meal, there was a noticable split - one table for the men discussing all things mechanical whilst on the other table the ladies enjoyed more refined conversation (or a good gossip if you prefer).
This meeting marked a full year for the section's Sunday meetings, and it is a lesson perhaps to other sections as many of the section members would not otherwise have got together so often, or perhaps not at all.
Some more events planning was done today so we hope to publish a fuller diary here soon.

December 2002 - Christmas at the Barley Mow. The Christmas meeting was well attended with over 40 people and considering the rain, a surprising number of Tractions

November 2002 - the Barley Mow. Another pleasant meeting

October 2002 - the Barley Mow. A wet meeting but very well attended considering the rain with eight tractions, and a few new people as well. After lunch in the crowded pub, we drove down to the Denbie vinyard near Box Hill. The drive was very pleasant despite the light rain as the trees are starting to change colour. Once at the vinyard, most chose to take the train tour around the fields, after which the restaurent was a welcome place to warm up with tea and cake

February 2002 - the Barley Mow. There were thirteen vehicles present, fifteen club members and over thirty people in all including families and friends, making it a very sucessful meeting.
