Christmas Do

Christmas is coming, the pub is where it's at-
Please put a penny in .... the Traveller's Rest bar?

Christmas do in the Traveller's Rest, Friday 19th from - I don't know - whenever people turn up in the evening I guess, until you all get thrown out. Think there's food as well. I'll be babysitting (well, she's 12, actually)...

Hang on - just been told it's half seven on Friday. So be there before the sarnies get eaten. And don't forget the Santa hat and the mistletoe.

Meeting of MCAC on Friday 31st October

The second meeting of MCAC will be held in the Travellers Rest at 1900 hrs on Friday 31/10/08. Yes, that's Halloween, but don't worry, nobody will laugh at you if you turn up in your pumpkin outfit, honest! Oh and don't bring the batmobile (sorry, car) as this is a non-vehicle event.

The purpose of this meeting is to identify volunteers to help run the club e.g. organising events, maintenance of website, planning trips, treasurer etc. We also want to compile a list of members and maybe sort out some social events, like a Christmas get-together

Email Andy (andyDOTbennett10ATbtinternetDOTcom) if you've got any other ideas!

Meeting at Traveller's Rest, Moulton 25/8/08

Here's the inaugural meeting of the Moulton Crows Auto Club (MCAC). Held in the Traveller's Rest car park on Bank Holiday Monday (25th August 2008), there was a variety of vehicles on display, including a truck, several motorbikes, a quad bike and a vintage car.

For a bank holiday, the weather held, the pub sold lots of beer, tea and coffee and a good time was had by all.

"Best in Show" was won by Alan Garner with his ERF truck (no - I'm a girl - I have no idea what that means. It was a blue one ...). This was judged by Dave, the Traveller's Rest landlord and awarded in appreciation of the truck's long and varied history, having been owned by Alan since new.

Anyone who paid for a commemorative metal badge for this event will be contacted in the next few weeks. Remember these badges will only be issued to people turning up at an event with a vehicle, so don't miss out on your collection by not turning up at the next one!

Keep an eye on this blog for details of future events.
