Lancashre Area Secretary Rob Parr and his team did a great job organzing the event and produceduniquehand made prizesof ceramicplatesus ng original Bl\,4Chandbookartwork.Thesewere very popularand were presented to our winnersby ong standingclubmember[,4issBennyLea. A retiredHGV/PSVdrver Bennyonly recentlysold her l970 Wolseley 16/60because,at twice ts age,she was unabe to contnueto giveit the love and care she had avishedon it for many years.Howevershe st I enjoysattendng events n her more modernFover45 and droveup from Nlalvernfor the weekendto help,sayng in her pre event etter to organzer Rob Parr that she wou d be 'avaiiableto move road signsor ist regrstrations in a force 8 gale,which lgather is normal on the Fyde Coast'. She then added, referringto the road run along the Fylde coast on Saturday,'maybesomeonecould gve me a i11.I ratherfancy sitting n the back of a 6/1 10 wavingI ke the Queenbut won't be fussy'. She got her wish, travellingin Conrad Parrs lovely black exar-t'tp e. The overallwinnerof the club's BL HertageCup Jormost popular car was Stewart Peters from Peterboroughwith his Vanden PlasPr ncess4-lltreF. This is the frst time this nrodelhas everwon the award.
when we were looking This years cooc NationalRallywas hosted by us here in Lan.cashire. just for a venue, We decided that we wou|d choose somewhere With p|enty more to do than we decided of venues number visits to a various After club cars. our fantastic admireand discuss that the Fleetwood Festival of Transport was ideal, and after a few of us met up for sgnday Iunch we started on the task of organising.The festival (or Tram Sunday as its affectiohately called) has been in existence for some 26 years, and is a huge gathering of historic vehicles including lorries,buses, vans, cars and motorcycles,all within the unusualsetting of a Victorian seasidetown on the Lancashirecoastline. For some ofthe Lancashirearea Members,the weekend started on the Fridayafternoonwhere we set up our tents at the campsite, convenientlylocated within walking distance of the local hostelrywhere we were able to fine tune the arrangementsfor the following few days events. We r,,ierevery happy to see the sun shining on the Saturday morning, as this was the day that we were holdi;g a ro;d run from Fleetwood,down the Fylde coast through Blackpool and on.to Lytham st Anne-'sfor the best fish and chips known to humanity!Arriving at the departure point it'was great seeing 11 Club Cars already parked up and ready for the ofi (pretty sure I wasn't late, it was purely the enthusiasmof COOC members!) some weeks 6efore the rally I had been contacted by member Benny Lea who despite not owning a car at the moment was very keen to take part, and she asked kindly if lwas able to 6/110 but wasn't frovid"ea vehiclefor her to travel as a passengerin....She speci1ed.aWolseley delightedto provide he was his, and with in attendance was thankfully Conrad fussy! to be ioing iis c"hautteursliilts for the day! On the Saturday night we laid on a free BBQ at the campsite, which was extremelywell receivedby Members and their families. The rally day itself started with gr;at weather once again, and when we arrived at Adelaide Street in Fleetwood at 7i41am, thJre were at least a couple of cars already parked up, one of which was John Gallon in his 460 countryman who had set out from surrey at 1 am in order to drive the 270 miles and arrive in time! Fantasiicl cars continued to arrivefor a couple of hours and by midday everyonethat was coming had arrived. It wis the flrst tirire a classic car club had held its National Rally at Fleetwood Festival of Transport,and by all accounts both from individualsand the features in the nationalclassic car press, was a st;rming success. I would very much like to thank all of the Lancashire area members for their support and time dedicated to the event, we should do it again, how about 2O22?l I would also like to extend sincere thanks from the Lancashirearea group to all the Members that came and supported the event, We hope you had a great time, We certain|ydid!

Hi Membe$, just thought I would let you know that the weather hasn't been any kinder up north than the rest of the Counhy Our olvn Nofth East Rally at the Durham Regatta was called off at very short notice The Newby Hall Ra.lly which ahvays attracls a lot of our Members was also cancelled Any Members who had to pay an entrance fee will have the fee held over lor nexr year. However the rain did keep off for most of the day at the Moffat Rally which we attendedin the WolseleyJimWilson organisedthe Club Stand and we had a eood turnout of Club Cars, before SteveandJoanne left with the Members who were going on the ScottishTour'Jim alwaysmahesyou most welcome, thar <youJim. After reading the ChesterfieldArea Repoll in the last magazine about attmcting other BMC/BL ownersto lheir meetings,I would like to mention that Howad Ellis who is also Area Secretarylor the 1i00/ 1300 Club rang me to ask if we would object to any of their memberscoming along to our meetings.Howard came to ourJuly meeting and is hoping that some of his memberswill come along in future. We still mect in the Vanc Arms, Long Newton on the first Monday of each month exceptBanh Holidays The first weekend in August saw us take the Vanden Plas down to Hatton garden Village near Warwick to attend the Vanden Plas show day on Lhe Sunday It is i very nice venue to hold a rally with plenty to see and do lt would appear that the high price of perol is staring to deter owners of the
routeplan of carefulplanningincludingputtinga detaiLed After and accommodationlist togetherand ensurng we had a Club Stand at Moffat,the ScoltlshTourwas fina y upon us. We drove up to Scotch Corner to meet Werner and PriskaBeyelerwho had travelled 700 miles from Switzerlandto take part n the trip We were joined by Dave Strettonand Paul Dryden with a brace of lront wheel drive 'BMC cars, Eric & Jean Edwards in thelr ovely Triumph2500 Estate,l\,4ike Davs in h s A60 a'o Andrew& Susar lvarti^dalewfo were coni.g Jp lo Motfatforthe ra y ln his SunbeafirTalbot,but were unableto take part in the who e tour due to familycommtments.The convoywas completewnen PauLDobbinsarrivedin his 16/60. We drove up the A66 and M6 throughtorrentlalrain arr ving at Gretna to Green about 11am ior a short break beforetravellng on up the I\/174 sore of our grouolook part'n tl'e lloffat'or Lherally Ol arrivingir l\,4ofal scenic road run to St l\,4arvbLoch whlle others checked in to their B&Bs or pokedaroundthe auiojumbleon the rallyfleld.A greatsoc al eveningwas had by all, startingwith a mealat the wor d famousStar Inn,which is the narrowestpub followed by a lew pints n varloushosteiriesaround Motfat Sundaywas the maln day for the rallyand we were joinedon the c ub AndrewShortel,A an Logan Ron stand by Jim W lson AllanL4cquerter, John Churchilland StewartLeslieto namebut a few The rally Gilbertson, was I s LsJa br a-r self with elarnp es ol .u<taooJt every popJlarca' ever made and an enthusiasmfor the cars only found in Scotland Our awardswere presentedto Allan [,4cwhrter for his Rlley4/72 and Geoff Codling2nd pr ze The dlstanceawafd went withoutquestionto Wernerand Pr ska Beyelerfor their Oxlord, whlch by thjs time had covered approx 820 miles to attend the rally.Werner aLsowon an award from the organisersof the l/lotfat rally. Bv now it was tlme for our hardy littlegroup to head north on the first leg of our tour of the Hlghlandsand ls ands. Fjvecars headed out on to the [/]74 lead by Joanneand Jin our trusty old Oxford Travellerclose y followed by M ke Davis in his 460, then Werner & Pr ska in their Oxford Stuart Leslie in his Wo seley fol owed by Erlc & Jean in the Triumph2500. We would meet Allan Mcwhider at Hamiton servicesafterhe had picked up some sparessomewhereenroute.A an Loganwou d join us on skye tomofiow in his l\4agnetteThis completedour merry littleband We arrived ln Ca ander aftera pleasantand uneventfuljourneyin t me for a lish supper in the park by the river. Mondaydawned (wellactua y it didn't rea y get dark)f ne and sunny and after a ohoto shoot n the car park we set off on our very scenlc drive northto Skye,callingat G encoe,the CommandoMonumentnearSpean Bridoe and the E len DonanCastleen route.We also stopped n FortWillam to reluel at Morrison'sand th s caused both Eric and I running problems Juelcontainsethano in furtherup the road. lt seemscheap supermarket oreaterouantitiesthan the normal5% found in most of today's petrol overdosing with my patent mixtureof redex and 2 strokeoil soon cured the problemand the Oxfordran smoothy once more Stuckout on a singlelrack road at the most nonherlytip of Skyewith a misfiringOxfordwas a little worrying to say the easlL Tuesdaywas a free day for everyoneto enjoy Skye in thelr own way As
bigger cars who have to travel any distance to attend shows as the tr'rrnout for this show was yery poor On the Monday we left Warwick to drive or"erto North Wales to join Steve andJoanne on the Welsh Tour The Tour was based in Dolgellau in the Snowdonia National Park. On Tuesday morning we met up with the other Members, wc already6rew 3 couplesas they were alsoon the ScottishTour last year, so we knew we were in good company In all we had five Club Cars, one Triumph 2.5 estatcand a Daimler V12, just a nice number lor when it came to parking at the various places we visited. As always, Steve leaves nothine to chance and his vast knowledge of the area includes all the car parks aswell. The weather was pelfect cach day which I am led to believe was unusual for this part of Wales. It was so hot one afternoon that Joanne enjoyed a paddle in thc sea,unfortunately I did not have my camera with me. We left Wales on the Friday morning and I made a very bad decisionto travel home via the M6. Unfortunately there was a bad accidentaround the Prcston arca and we had to take a detour o1I the motorway We eventually arrived home at 6.30pm.We did over 700 trouble-freemiles altogetherin the Vanden PIas,which returned 20.5 mpg and used 2 pints of oil lVe had a most enjoyable time in Wales with good company and a bit of banter in the Unicorn Hotel eachnight. Our thanksgo to SteveandJoannewho obviously spend a lot of time planning thesetours. Hoping to meet everybodyagain next year in cornwall Ron G'bertson

Wednesdaysaw us headingback to the ma n and flrstto Plockton,which was the settingior the h tTV serles"HamishflcBeth" staringRobertCaryle Then on to the stunning"Beaach Na Ba" pass, which for rne was the highlightof the tour.Someof you may have seen thjs featuredon the TV d(i|ingthe wintermonthsor may havebeenover it your selves.Thisls the UK's 2nd highest road and probably one of the steepest and narrowest mountan passeswlth many very tight hairpinbends.Only the Harknotts pass in the Lakes comes c ose to this one. Any way we all made it to thetop at 2O0Ofeet withoutmishap and more lmportanty back down again What a sightour convoyof farina'sand Eric'sTrumph made.A bus stoppedat the vlewpointcar park and it'soccupantsseemedmore interestedin our cars than looklngat Loch K shorn far down below The wealher was clos ng n so we headed back down to sea or Loch leve and all d ved n to the Watersidecaf6 in Loch Carron.Joanneand I left the parly here as we were heading down to Onlch and would be iolned by the restof the groupon Thursdayevening. On eaving Loch Carron l\4ikeDavis found the descent of "Bealach Na Ba" had takenits to on his 460 brak ng system.A cylinderor maybetwo had blownand the mastercy lnderwas emptyand he had very littlein the way of brakes.Toppingthe f u d up and pumplngthe pedalbroughtsome degree of peda pressureback and he was able to drve back to Skye and loin us at Corran Bunkhouseon Thursday.I b ed the brakes and restored peda pressureand with carefulregularfluldchecksand subsequenttop ups he was ab e to completethe tour safey.

,.A US S IE '' S AVIN G BY CL TFF BouLToN This car was put away in what the farmer classed as a garage in 1991,and he unfortunately passed away soon afterwards. His son drove it a few times, but 1991 was it's last year on the road. It was moved to a barn when the garuge roof was found to have collapsed,then moved again to another barn when the space was needed. Moving involved being towed by a tractor, then pushed in with a large straw bale on the front of the tractor. The last MOT datedNov 11th1991,gives the mileageas 37,569,and the speedo when I bought it read 37,910.1was approachedby the son at a show in Kent back in July who asked if I knew of anybody that wanted to buy a CambridgeEstate, and that was it. I went to see the car with my son, and you can guess lhe resl I just had to buy her. "Aussie" is now back on the road as a rolling restoration, with a fair bit of welding carried out. The engine is very nice and she drives just fine!
