oxow$Berks Our monthly pub meets are up and running again and at the same nameiy the Six Bells pub in location as the previous 2 years Warborough nr Wallingford. All classiccars / bikes very welcome. This pub has been through some tricky times with a closure follorving a fire last year. There is a temporary tenant running things now and she is very keen to see us succeedand I hope she gets the tenancy from the brewery. Food is being sen'ed now as well. However, the pub no longer opens on Mondays so we've changed to the secondTuesday of the month. This hasn't suited everyoneand I apologiselor that but it's a caseof taking the next best option. So as I write this, we've just had our first meet of the ycar in April. As I arrived it was a real pleasure to seea lvhite A60 parked up with Alan Lovell and his father waiting in the bar. Thatt a measureol real enthusiasmwhcn you get members from other areas attending your local meets! On the COOC lront it rvasjust me and AIan but rve had some other cars show up including a mint Triumph Dolomite Sprint. As the weather improves and the eveningslengthen, I'm optimistic we'll see some good mects on the same scale as last year: t2thJune, l0th July, l4th August, I lth September. Thatcham ClassicCar Show on Saturday l3th October remains our venue lor the Oxlordshire & Berkshire annual rnecl. We had considereddoing this at the Cowley ClassicCar Show (l2th August)but unfortunately3 local COOC memberscan't make this one. Ifanyone wants to go to the Cowley ClassicCar (which allows any classic,notjust thosemade at Cowley or Abingdon), contact Malcolm Fearn (e-mail: malcolmfeam@mac.com). There are scoresofevents going on now and throughout May /June. Should be plenty of material for the next Rosette Recorder including a tdp to Germanv in my Austin lvestminster. Until then, enjoy your classics. Mark Shepley

ttevtfordshLre Well {irst and foremostI would like to thank you to thoseofyou who turned up at Brooldandsin March. It was one of the best club displaysyet, we had I believe 28 - 30 cars. A few rew lacesand some regulats and oLrrnew club llag was flying high (once I was shown how to erect the thing - those of you who really know me will know I don't do technical matters but stick me in frolt of accountsetc. and I am quite happy ) it rvas also good to see Brian & Wendy artending with the regalia to sell, Back il February Nil&i and I took a long weekend away down in Weston Super Mare and whilst down there lve visited Oakham Treasuresin Portbury near Bristol, we only came acrossthis by picking up the leaflet in the guest house we staycd in, it $'as truly an excelle[t mtseum housing a unique collection of memorabilia from days gone bn if you remelnber the item then it's very likely to be there on display, a very impressive display of historic tractors and farm equipmcnt. We spent over two hours walking round but could easily havc spent much more time there, they also have their own tca room on site which made lovely cakes, the carrot cake was just totally unavoidable to have. Their websiteis www.oakhamtreasures.co.uk By the time you read this aticle, a ferv of us rvi1lhave taken part in another annual Ipswich to Felixstowe Run, I am praying that it will be a dry and enjoyable day as it was last ycar. We will report back on this run. The passeshave started to arrive and so am now starting to look lorward to the coming season,lets hope lve have some nice days even ifonly for the show days eh?? I still have a number of FREE passesfor the club display at Luton Festival of Transport on Sunday l0thJune,just send SAE envelopeto securethe FREE pass, Peter Batchelor

treLanA New member Noel O'Donnell sent me a couple of photos of his rccently accluiredA60 saloon,which representedthe Club at a shorvin Eglinton on April lst just a lew miles ftom his home in Dcrry. Nothing diflicult in that you mighl think, except that the water pump developeda last minutc lcak, in spite of which Noel carried out a temporary repair and managed to gct to the show. \'Vcll done Noel, and hopefully a new water pump will be fltted soon. In lacr rhere were tlvo A60s on display there, which makes a changc fiom the nearly all\{olselcy displaysI have been witnessingat recent showsI attended. This Austin has had tlyo previous owners! one ofwhom is also a CIub Member, and had owned the car lor 40 years Shane Conway

will investigatewhether I can scan t without damaging the pages, which are a bit brittle. A picture af the cavet might be of interest to readers though? It was the October 1959 issueof 'CarLife'and it featurcd an extensiveroad test report of the MG Magnette Mk3, Morris Oxfard V and Austin Cambrian. It has a footnoteat the end af the article which is interesting: 'CAMBRIDGE CAI'/IBBIAN - The story of a name'. WhenBMC decided to market the new A55 Mk 2 in North America, the company was afraid it wauld run afoul af Canadian capyright laws with the ward 'Cambridge' So the substitutename 'Cambrian' was agreed an. After 'Car Life's' story went to press however,BMC's lawyers advised the company that'Cambridge' was safe to use after all. The car is naw the A55 l-emhtirl-a
