Chis Pelmear forwarded this from Clevedon Cars and Coffee.
“Saturday 13 September is a SepTriumph! Salthouse Fields becomes “Car Club Corner” welcoming clubs from across the southwest. Clubs can convoy their way in from 8:45 and enjoy their own place in the sun. Bring your banners, feather flags, and grow your club with the people you meet. Car Club Corner is your second home this September with live music from Michael Atedgi Tarik and the unveiling of the Lola T70 Steve McQueen’s lost film “Day of the Champion”. What a day!”
If anyone is interested in attending, Chris, chrispelmear@blueyonder.co.uk has volunteered to co-ordinate the MGCC stand.
Until next week
