On
the 5th we had a very successful christmas dinner and raffel at the old smokee. A huge thankyou to all our sponsors who kindly
donated prizes towards our raffel.
£435 was raised for charity, C.L.I.C and Devon
air ambulance.
On the 13th we had our Chrismas fancy dress trial at Alstone farm. The day was yet again dry but
very cold! At dinnertime we were treated to another of old man and old women Roberts BBQ we also had soup and plenty of tea.
There were also lots of nibbles and cakes. The best fancy dress truck was awarded to Bill with his SJ and tree! And the
best fancy person went to Tony, nice hair. The short wheel base trial was lead by Joe and the long wheel base was lead
by Ryan, well done to you both. Our thanks to everyone who helped especially Darren and Ryan for there help cleaning the trucks
on there departare and the toilet.

The committee would
like to remind its members that all vehicles attending club events and organised activites, must be road legal. Or transported
on a trailer towed by a road legal vehicle.

The club
has purchased a new marquee, this will be brought along to club events to provide us all with the necessary shade at lunch time! Where we can all enjoy the free BBQ provided by the club and
cooked for us by Mr & Mrs "old man" Roberts.
These things are only available because of the fantactic
support of our members!!!

Online Update, August 08
Hello everyone and welcome to the second newsletter !!!
Well as you are well aware we have just had the monthly natter @ the Halfmoon......with a twist, thanks go to all involved
in setting that one up,and to the kind people from the Halfmoon for letting it all happen (and the chap in the kitchen) !!!!
I will add feedback here as and when it arrives.
Competitions !!!!!!! It has been mentioned in dispatches (Nick told me to do it) that the monthly web competition should
rear it's head again, so this is going to be happening within the next few days. It will be along the lines of close up pictures
of parts....you guess it first - you win, or of places...you guess it first - you win, depending on how I get on blagging
them there will be prizes, some will be good prizes, some may be naff, we will have to wait and see, and fianally on this
subject. . . . . my decision is final !!!
Feedback. Please keep your feedback on the club and it's activities coming in, we know it's been a bit slack on the trials
and offroad events so far this year but this has been out of anyones control due to the weather turning both sites into a
mire, new sites are hopefully going to be available in the not to distant future.
Could we remind all of you that it's membership renewal time !! these funds are what pay for the MSA affiliation &
Insurance for the club.....One of the main benefits membership brings is cheaper events !!!!
As you all may know.... the weather ruined any plans for the Steam Fair !!! But those of us who went across the border
to Wales had a good few days laning - some of the lanes and routes we followed where pretty special ! one thing we did notice
was that there wasnt a shortage of sheep.......or trees in certain areas.......or reservoirs. Between us we took hundreds
of piccies, some of which are on Flickr.
