Default Annual Meet: places to visit and payment please

Hi All

After a fairly major hic-cup, we’ve had to make minor amendments to the plans, but we have now finalised the Saturday morning visit to the Midland Air Museum https://www.midlandairmuseum.co.uk/ with a photo opportunity by the Vulcan bomber, followed by the traditional scenic drive, and a Sunday morning visit to Caffeine and Machine (The Hill) https://caffeineandmachine.com/thehill/

Tickets for the Air Museum are £8.95 per person and tickets for Caffeine and Machine are £10.79 per car. You know the drill, use the list started below and pay money to me please: Sort code 09-01-32; Account number 22506687.

Jim & Christine Greaves. The Laird. Air Museum and Caffeine and Machine. £28.69 paid

And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!
