Thames Valley Group Newsletter



Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

This is in the nature of a 'Spring' Newsletter - which will hopefully encourage the weather to improve a bit!

 

TVG AGMUnfortunately, this clashes with the subsequently announced ‘Drive – It Day’ on Sunday 25th April. However, due to the extremely poor response to my e-mail of 10th February concerning the ‘Drive – It Day’, it has been decided that the AGM will go ahead as planned on 25th April at 1pm at the Onslow Arms - TVG will therefore not be attending the ‘Drive – It Day’ on a Group basis.

 

I regret this may disappoint a few members, but as previously mentioned, the response was very poor and it is no good moaning if you were one of the silent majority who didn’t reply in the first place!

 

TVG 40th Anniversary Buffet Luncheon – As advised previously, this will be held on Saturday 5th June and I am grateful to the few stalwarts who have already replied to my earlier e-mail on the subject.

 

However, I am very disappointed by the apparent current lack of interest shown by the majority of the ninety or so ‘members’ included in this circulation list. I appreciate that some of you are not regular attendees at our meetings, but I would have thought an occasion such as this would have generated a good turn out.

 

Since my last e-mail, it has been decided to issue entry tickets/vouchers for which a charge of £5 per head will be made to TVG members and spouses/partners – these will include one free drink. I regret that if you do not purchase a ticket in advance there will be no entry on the day as we must know numbers in advance for catering purposes.

 

It is possible that the event will not now be held at the Onslow Arms, but at the Queen’s Head in East Clandon and the final choice of venue will depend very much on the number of people/vehicles (TRs!!) likely to be in attendance. For that reason, I must know whether you wish to attend by no later than 31st March.

 

Possible TRip to Exmoor – I appreciate it is somewhat late in the day, but Jon Gordon and I have been wondering about the possibility of organising a long weekend (three or four days) TRip to the Exmoor area over the weekend of 26 June or 3rd July.

 

If you are interested, would you please let me know by midnight on Monday 15th March at the latest and Jon and I will then start seriously looking at prices and the availability of accommodation. There will in all probability be limited spaces, which will be dealt with on a ‘first come – first served’ basis.

 

Farnham Classic Car Show – Sunday 11th April – Andrew Smith (TVG member and resident of Farnham) has advised me of this Event, which includes an Auto Jumble.

 

It is held in the Central Car Park from 10am – 4pm (entry from 9.30am) and Andrew has entered his 3A.

 

If you would like to enter, please contact the organiser Herman Frost (01252 320439) and also contact Jon Gordon who could then hopefully organise a TVG ‘pitch’ if appropriate. There is no fee to enter a car, but a small donation to the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice on the day would be much appreciated by the organisers.

 

Regards  
Geoff
