Dear Club, 

We are organising a special Classic Car and Bike Festival to coincide with the Queen’s Jubilee in June. As a unique marque we would really love to have the club attend ‘Summer Classics’.

Please see link to the website below: www.summerclassics.co.uk

We will have dedicated ‘Club Area’s’ for vehicle, bike clubs and associations to bring together their members for a great day of car activities including an Autotest competition, a live Parade Road and a VIP Paddock area, Q&A talks, music and great food and good coffee.

The unique VIP Paddock area is a huge part of the event and to that end we are looking for ‘unique or wonderful’ cars that can be displayed within the VIP Paddock. We currently have a mixture of GT40’s, a couple of Cobra's, a rare Daimler drop head thats been fully restored, Jaguars and a Rare mini Rio Speedwell and many more.

We would really love to have any Club Members cars that you feel would be great as part of the VIP area as well as a club area on the festival site. 

Some more info for you:

VIP Paddock Cars:
VIP Paddock cars and their owners receive free entry to the show, a dedicated area within the VIP Paddock for their cars, VIP Access to All Areas within the Paddock and event site, free Tea and Coffee for the duration of the event and a complimentary limited addition car valeting kit courtesy of  ‘Paul Martin Racing’ (RRP £40).

Parade Road:
VIP Paddock cars are encouraged to take part in the two Parade Road sessions (one morning - one afternoon) to explain about their cars to the event MC as well as show their cars to the public as a ‘moving display’.

We will send all relevant info to you closer to the event as theres a lot more going on than I can write here.

Jubilee Street:
At 16:00 on the day we will be turning the Parade Road into ‘Jubilee Street’ - a 300m long 'Jubilee Street Party' - we would love you to be part of the fun and if you could also pass this information on to any other car mad enthusiasts who may also be interested as we would love to have as many people as possible who are wishing to celebrate their cars with a little flag waving!

Summer Classics Marketing:
We are working with Simon Downing from Classic Car Marketing UK who is helping us market and promote the event, if you think this is something you can support and attend and have any images of club cars for Twitter, Instagram or Facebook we would love to link you to everything we push out.

As already mentioned if you feel this is something you would be able to attend please let me know.




With Kind Regards,
Jo

Hi all,

Hoping for some advice on Dwell testing. I connected up my meter and set it to 4cyl as all the forums seem to instruct. Started the engine and it immediately said 43, so i left it for the engine to get up to temp. As it got a bit warmer it started cycling and was going from 43 down to just below 20 (lowest i saw was 16). 
After a bit longer it got up to temp and fans kicked in, it seemed to settle and was consistently reading in the 40s which i think is good right?
Left it running a bit longer and it started cycling again. Again ranging from 40s down to high teens.

Can someone tell me if i did this right and should it be behaving in the way? I expected it to swing but not as low as it did.

thanks
Darren

Subject: Stow Motor Show



Dear Sir/Madam,

I write on behalf of Stow-on-the-Wold Motor Club to invite you and your
members to our Motor Show on Saturday 9 July 2022 at The Queen Elizabeth II
Field Lower Swell Road (B4068) Stow on the Wold Gloucestershire GL54 1LD.
Please circulate the details below to your members.

The show is set in the beautiful Cotswolds countryside and is a fantastic
drive-out venue for your club or individual members.

Stow-on-the-Wold Motor Show raised over £3000 for local Charities at our
last show in 2018 and aim to do even better this year.

Entry to the show is free to the public and if you would like to exhibit
your vehicle the entry cost is £5.00 per vehicle to the QEII Cricket field
showground.

Please note that field access and exit is up and down a slight slope. This
is not a problem for historic tractors, motorbikes and most cars.
Prestigious vehicles with extremely low ground clearance can reserve one of
the limited number of parking spaces in the Stow Square Salon Privé for
£15.00. Bookings for this are on a first come, first served basis.

The field opens at 10:00 for vehicle exhibitors. All vehicles must be on
site by 11:30 on Saturday 9th July. Enquiries about the Stow Square Salon
Privé: telephone 01451 830123or 0778 6260306.

Another option for your Owners Club is to set up a stall to promote your
club and encourage new members. Stall / pitch holders will find our pricing
extremely reasonable.

Please see our website http://www.stowmotorshow.co.uk for further details and to
book your vehicle or stall via Eventbright. Numbers are limited so please
book soon.

Looking forward to meeting you all at the show.

Kind Regards

Hi all, does anyone know the model number of the OEM Paris Rhone starter motor? Usually something like 8Exxx or something. Cheers Rich

I've been given the heads up about Really Retro 2022, which is at a different venue to the one we 
went to in 2018.


Details here:  http://www.reallyretroshow.com/

I've emailed the organisers asking about a Club Stand, so if there is enough interest I'll take the matter further with
them.

I'll be going, but as part of the Cavalier & Chevette Club as my De won't be on the road.  Phill might take #6772 
if its on the road though.

Hello Chris,
 
Thanks for taking my call earlier and herewith the details of a car showing event on our Airfield near Bidford on Avon, in May (29th) - so that you could include this in a few of your upcoming weekly newsletters to your Members?
 
The enclosures contain a flyer and some pictures from past events, with more detail.  If the weather is good, it can be popular and  some 1-2000 members of the public have attended such days in the past.  We are in the process of arranging for a Spitfire and Hurricane of the BBMF to make a flypast soon after lunchtime, and the site has good facilities etc and grass parking for the car display.
 
This is a charity event – so whilst we are not charging for entry, we are expecting everyone attending to make some kind of donation.  Because we only have space for ~100 Classic/vintage cars (and for the sake of variety), we are also limiting each Vintage or Classic type to 5-10 parking spaces (on a first come, first served basis), and those coming will need to send me the registration number of their car before the event – upon which I will email back an entry disc by return.  Arrival before 9:30am on the day to park up is essential please - to avoid/mitigate congestion risk on the local road(s).  Because of the terms of our insurance, the event will close at 5pm that evening.
 
If this is of interest to a Member, I’d need direct email contact from all interested individual parties by the 1st of May 2022 - in order to allow the time to process the responses and issue them with an entry ‘disc’ by return.
 
I look forward to your reply, and do let me know if you have any questions.
 
 
Regards,

Dear all,
 
Hope you are well and safe.
 
After a break of two years, the Steam & Cider Fair is back, as part of the Summer of festivals’ full programme of festivals and we want the classic vehicle display to steal the limelight so show our residents the amazing vehicles we have. This year we want it to be bigger and better than ever before. We are holding the event on Saturday 10 September at the Old Dagenham Park and wanted to get it early in your diaries.
 
The Steam & Cider Fair is a great way to promote your club as the event attracts around 7,000 people with many car enthusiasts.
 
Please find attached vehicle application form to showcase your vehicle at this year’s Steam & Cider Fair on Saturday 10 September at Old Dagenham Park. If you are interested in attending, please complete and return.
 
Further information about the event can be found at www.lbbd.gov.uk/steamandcider and our full programme of events can be found at www.lbbd.gov.uk/summeroffestivals.
 
We would be grateful if you could share this with other enthusiasts, colleagues, websites, magazines, clubs and friends so we can make this bigger than before! Let’s make sure we don’t lose this event ever again like we did last year by showing everyone that the classic vehicle display is what attracts our residents to this event!
 
We look forward to seeing you and your classic vehicle at the event!
 
Thanks
 
Regards,
