After a busy couple of weeks helping a friend move house, decided to take Mrs Lagetha on a run out to Cleveleys today, 1) for the sea fresh air, and 2) to collect an eBay purchase...

Completely forgot about tonight's Cat & Lion Meet... Ah well, see you all next month.

Well Kevin, if you remember tomorrow night's meeting, what will we see you arrive in? Better park under one of the lights so we can have a good butcher's.

Unfortunately, J1mbo's not gracing us with his presence (how will I find my way home, if they close the M56 again? )

I think he mumbled something about practicing for a gurning competition?

Hope to see you. Take care, wherever you are and whatever you're doing.

Hi Luke
Our meetings, starting about 19:00, on the first Thursday of the month, at The Cat and Lion are usually attended by about half a dozen current and previous owners. There are rarely more than 3 x 75s in the car park.

One of our regulars goes to most of the major Owners Club events and publishes videos of them. Others go to various classic car events and have great knowledge and experience (not me!).

The days when someone in the NW Region would organise a rolling road day,a run to Guru Jules in North Wales, a trip to the Bentley factory, or even a regional family Christmas meal are things of the past though, I'm afraid. Declining numbers of the marque together with changes in the personal circumstances of members have both taken their toll.

A new face is always welcome however, if you fancy a natter, and some sustenance.

Cheers

Hi Robert, I'll be there tonight in my 75. The 25 was bought in a bit of a hurry to help family out, but I thought I'd get another Rover since I've so many flat caps and humbugs laying around. Seriously if one drives a 23-year-old car, having a spare never goes amiss. Look forward to seeing everyone.

If this is the correct date for the next meeting I'll be there (providing Tom Hobbs doesn't call her in to work his sill magic)

I believe it is, I attended last evening's meet, and they all said they'd see me in December, usually the 1st Thursday, which happens to be the 1st of that month.

The last year (of my life) has flown by and judging from comments on other threads, I don't seem to be alone there.
The last C&L social meet of 2022 is upon us. To anyone reading this who's not going to be there tomorrow night, I hope you have a stress-free and happy festive season and hope to see you on 12th night - so don't forget to take down any decorations before you come to the January meeting!

Best Wishes and May Fortune Smile On You

Well, it turns out J1mbo has a bad cold and I've been roped into intercity taxiing, because of the rail strikes, so neither of us will be there this Thursday.
i'm not sure if anyone else will be either, as I know at least 3, or 4 regulars had other arrangements.
All the best. I hope to see you Thurs 2nd February

Yep I'm full of a cold that I just can't shake off, had it since before Christmas.

Hopefully there's an improvement before Monday because I can't miss my granddaughter's 6th birthday.

See you all in February.
