News from North Staffordshire Region
The winning car in the June ‘Car of the month’ completion belonged to Dave Page, a very nice E Type. There were 5 raffle prizes at the June meeting all donated by members. The region has attended many shows already including Leek, Crich, Capesthorne, North Rode and Trentham Gardens, we were joined by Nigel Thorley at Trentham and his car won the organisers ‘car of the show’. You need to apply for tickets to most events we attend several weeks before direct to the event organizers (not us). We had a great turnout for our show at the Bleeding Wolf in June with a large variety of models on display, winner of the Presidents trophy award was Dave Rockey’s Daimler, Second place Colin Heathcote with an XK8 and third place Paul Hassett’s S Type. The best visitor award went to Peter Fernyhough’s S Type, there were four E Types on display, the Institute of Advance Motorists also provided a display. Thanks to everyone who helped make the day a success despite the damp start. The picture shows members cars at AWJ Automotive who held an open day at their new premises at Parkhouse estate near Newcastle. We are pleased to hear Alan Townley is recovering from illness and wish him all the best. There is a visit planned to the Jaguar engine plant in October, join us at the Bleeding Wolf in Scholar Green on the 3rd Tuesday of the month. Cheers Mike Beirne
