Derbyshire Region - Monthly report for June 2024

This is Roger's report for June 2024

Apologies for the missed report last month which means a lot has gone on over the last 2 months. In May we had our “Bonnets Up” competition and the winner of the Hadfield Cup was Glyn and Rita Bell with his lovely E Type Series 3 and the Don Holland Cup went to our Chairman, Geoff Fox with his XK Convertible so congratulations to you both.

In early May a group visited Nick Cartwright the Ferrari Specialist in Matlock and he was kind enough to allow us to his home where he has a showroom and keeps the cars he races. Everyone was very impressed and there is a full report and photos on our web site.

At the end of May we visited the Wedgwood Museum at Barlaston for a guided tour and lunch. What a great place and we were well looked after by all the staff, and I think many will return for a closer look round the museum which traces the history of the company and the man himself.

For our June meeting we had planned a run out but had to postpone this for another month, details to follow, and on the 22nd we had the Pipes in the Peaks Summer BBQ which was attended by 26 members and for once we had good weather.

On the 26th we had a lunch at Oakwood Hotel in Cromford, which was excellent, and thanks to Nigel for organising this, and had a good turnout of 26 members.
