July 10th Pub Night
Seventeen
members had an enjoyable meal at the Tiger Inn at Coneythorpe. A new venue for
us.
July 13th
North
Yorkshire Moors Railway
This was
an excellent weekend organised by the MYM Railway. The weather was dry, if not
sunny,
for both
days and lots of people came to admire the large selection of cars at each
station.
A few
members travelled down the line to Levisham to enjoy the music
provided
by a Shadows tribute band.

July 27th Tees Valley Trail
Four cars
met at Morrisons at Boroughbridge for an 8.30am
departure
on what turned out to be a beautiful sunny day - tops down all the way.
Having
signed on with Tees Valley Club, the access to the ‘Show field’ being through
the Black Bull car park at Swainby,
we set
off along an 85 mile route around the North Yorks Moors.
The route
took in Osmotherley, Helmsley, Hutton-Le-Hole, Rosedale Chimney and Glaisdale
before returning to our starting point
for a
very pleasant picnic in glorious sunshine and idyllic surroundings. Along the
route there were narrow winding roads, steep hills and spectacular views.
All in
all it was an excellent day out and the really good news is that Roger & Val’s
car waited until it was parked in the drive back home
before
the alternator said enough is enough.
At least
it can now be sorted before the French trip.
