BOMBSHELL !!! Sue, our licencee has decided to retire from running the Unicorn and will be leaving tomorrow (Friday 24th August) for the farm in Wales that her partner Roy is busily renovating. No silly comments about being put out to grass, but we shall surely miss Sue's great hospitality at the pub, and Roy's too of course. Best wishers to them both, and thanks for putting up with us. Apparently the new incumbent has agreed to accommodate us as before, so the next Club Social will be on the third Monday as usual, being 17th September. See you there?

Oops Yes, you are absolutely right. The social meetings are always on the Second Monday in the month, so that'll be 10th September. I'd better go & have a lie down, it's obviously all getting too much for me!

Great turn-out last night; was it 11 or 12 members who turned up, I lost count! Many and varied were the subjects ranging from The first racing at Aintree to Saturday's track day action! There will be another get together on the 12th November so make a date and I'll see you all at the Unicorn.

As they say, it's the quality that counts, not the quantity! It's just as well, as there were just 5 of us at the Social meeting on Monday and, just for once, conversations actually revolved around motorsport, which isn't bad for a motorsport club! Rally of the Tests had clearly make a great impression and received much favourable comment, AutoSolos were a talking point, even Mr L Hamilton's F1 efforts received an airing from the experts. The joys of Arial Atom ownership (& dislike of wayward drivers who get too close ) received due comment (expletives deleted) as did cost of repairs & upgrades to same. Marshals training was further discussed, as was forthcoming developments at Aintree. Oh, and Greenpower which is already being eagerly anticipated. Now, having read this you may feel that you have missed a good evening, good company & a good natter. Well, you have, so be there next time! The Unicorn Inn, Cronton just off the M62, next meeting 10th December from 8pm, .

yeah, you should do. Unless something really terrible happens i'll be there (to bask in my Autosolo success glory), mine will be a pint of Lemonade please (unless i get the other half to drive, but then we'll be coming through the lanes so perhaps i'll drive!)

Last Meeting of the year.... couldn't miss it! What a great idea it was to invite the marshals to the same venue for their end of season get together. We filled the place - well at least one third! And we outnumbered the locals by at least three to one!!! I ran a photo quiz which I think was just about right in respect of the difficulty level. Scores ranged from one & a third to six & a third (out of ten) with our Chairman taking top spot but just one third of a point! Varicose topics were discussed ranging from Lotus 61 Formula Fords through engine rebuilds to Lewis Hamilton lookee-likees! For those who were not there WHY?
