THE BIG NIGHT OUT IN
PAECHTOWN.
5 October 2017
s was expected it was a big turnout
in the big shed of Peter & Bronwyn
Micklem on a coolish night , ideally
suited for the “burn” up through
Hahndorf to their home at Paechtown.
Thankyou to Peter & Bronwyn for a
great supper , hot fire and heaps of
seats in the shed. The big toys had been
moved out to accommodate the en-
thralled members of which 37 signed in
with 13 T Types and 1 Y Saloon to-
gether with other MG cars of later and
more comfortable vintage.
Apologies. Received from M Lyons
(coming good), A Pearson, I Buckley, J
Tamke, A Bate, R Jellet & M & J Green-
wood.
Mike Greenwood rang me to say that his
daughter had died suddenly the week
before leaving two young children which
of course is a tragedy to the whole fam-
ily, our thoughts and condolences went
out to Mike and Jan for their loss.
Vale. Long standing member Alan Grif-
fin passed away mid September after a
short illness in care at Kalyara Care Fa-
cility at Belair. David Mc Nabb has
penned a tribute to Alan for the maga-
zine, our condolences once again go out
A
to Barbara and the boys of which Mi-
chael and David have had involvement
with the car club over many years with
their father Alan and his cars.
Apology. To the” brown baron “ Mozza
Linehan for leading him into the Crafers
Park N Ride the wrong way against the
tide of the buses, well the horn was ex-
ceptionally laudible under the circum-
stance, hate to admit it but I got it wrong.
The Vicar of Dribbly. A prominent
member of our group who was recently
at the Goodwood Revival this year
“confessed “ to the meeting that dress-
ing up was on his agenda and in fact
that he had fashioned a collar of the
faith from an ice cream container and
masqueraded as the local vicar, all good
fun indeed for a while , however he was
found wanting when challenged by a
real and authentic man of the cloth. Tutt
tutt Peter C best stick with the tweed
jacket and deer stalker in the NA I sug-
gest. ps: More tea Vicar ?
Car Sales . com : Well, there was a bit
of trading transacted at the meeting, a
most attractive TD changed hands very
very quickly, the new owner apparently
overcome by the emotion of the night
and his prayers with a little help from the
“vicar” were answered and the deal
done !
