January 2005
Happy New Year to one and all. It looks like it could be a busy old year for The Pilgrims with many talking about doing several rallies as well as talk of resurrecting the monthly Sunday Pub Runs. So watch this space!
Potential
Rallies
Well, technically we're not even at the start of the season yet so many
may think that it's a bit early to think of such things, however, the
first season rally is only six or seven weeks away at Whitby! Of course
we have all the usual suspects too, such as Run to the Shires, Camber
Sands, the IOW, Mersea Island and Hembsy! So get saving and get chatting
to see who else is thinking about going!
Got
the Runs?
Of course, there are the shorter more local runs to contend with also.
That is, your parts fairs such as Wicksteed and Peanut Duck and then there's
the Sunday Pub Runs. It is planned that we will be doing a run of some
sort once a month during the year, although it's probably short notice
to have one for January and it's probably too cold for some of the old
timers. (Ducks and runs for cover) So, keep an eye out for these in the
newsletter and the website.
Change
to Thursday Nights
Paul from the White Horse (1st Thursday Night Meets) is no longer there
due, I believe, to the brewery being a bit of a pain. There was not much
of a turnout this month, granted its the middle of winter, so the next
1st Thursday meet is set to be at The Fox and Hounds. This pub is the
big yellow one on Goldington Road and is literally a quarter mile from
the White Horse.
Making
a U turn..
... and going back to the subject of rallies. There's been lots of talk
about a Pilgrims rally or overnighter in the summer. Now this sounds great,
but the organisation of it would be tremendous to say the least, however,
what if there was already a 3 day event, with camping facilities already
happening on say the 29th, 30th and 31st of July this year right on our
own doorstep?
Yes, that's right, a 3 day event at Badfest, Twinwoods Arena in Clapham, where Bad Manners are playing and guest Djs such as Mark Lamarr, all for £45 if booking early! Who's up for that?
Keeping in
Touch
Just a reminder that the club has a website at www.thepilgrimssc.co.uk
where members can keep in touch with what's happening and even make
suggestions on what we could do this coming year.
Its a bit of a short newsletter this month I'm afraid so, on signing off, if anyone happens to have any parts, such as a seat for a Zundapp bella, can you let Donegal know?
