Hello Everyone,
Hopefully this newsletter finds you all well.
Past Events
Wednesday 15th May 2024 Mid-Month Meal – The Orange Tree, Sawbridgeworth
Thirteen members enjoyed a very pleasant meal at the Orange Tree which has undergone a change of ownership which has in my opinion has improved the food offered. Thanks to Mike & Heather Cowley for organising this event.
Sunday 19 May 2024 River Trip – River Stort
Nine members enjoyed a pleasant trip down the River Stort from Burnt Mill moorings to Roydon followed by an enjoyable pub meal at The Moorhen, everyone who wanted to have a steer or help at the locks were able to do so. The weather was great which also helped to make the day. On board catering was some home made cakes kindly made by my better half so thanks to Yvonne for that. We were also able to present Canalability with a cheque for £300.00 towards the fitout of their new all electric canal boat, this donation came from the profits of last years car show.
Sunday 2nd June 2024 – Monthly Meeting – Matching Green Cricket Cub
Our regular monthly meeting saw eighteen members enjoy a glorious day on Matching Green enjoying their picnics and a general chat. The cricket pavilion was available for drinks etc. The Car of the month was won by Richard Hinds for his Mercedes, congratulations to Richard. Hopefully I didn’t spoil the day to much with my Chairman’s Chat.
Ann & Malcolm Gillespie presented a cheque to a local scout group for £500.00 which will go towards new camping equipment. This donation came from the profits from last years car show and just underlines the impact we can have on local groups as a result of a successful show.
