MEC Christmas Meet Sunday 6th December

can't make it I'm afraid.... damn snow here last night

if it gets much colder here, it might turn all our rain to snow.

just a little note at a ren 5 meeting at grasshopper last month it was moved at last minute due to impassable flooding at oxted and a accident on m25

forecast for tomorrow is now a mixture of light showers and sunny spells.

Latest info from Chris House:

XMAS MEC ‘Competition Cars’ Meeting from 10.30am. Sun 6th December
Grasshopper Inn, Moorhouse (A25), NearWesterham TN16 2EU
Following our success last year and particular interest with David Blumlein’s ‘Bonnet
Djet’ rides, we aim to provide even more cars this year. We were also pleased to have
the attendance of our Avantime friends whom we hope to see again this year. We aim
to repeat the formulae this year with a few changes. We will of course be at the
Grasshopper Inn, Moorhouse which has a very large car park and is between
Westerham & Oxted on the main A25 (South) from Junction 6 M25. (See map & more
details at www.grasshopperinn.co.uk).
We have been able to obtain use of the separate Gallery area this year. We plan to have
TV, DVD & VCR facilities again (in case of rain). Those who came last year will no
doubt have been impressed by the Inn and its featured oak beamed period style dating
back to 1400. It can also claim many period fixtures and fittings from former historic
houses including the House of Commons and Coventry Cathedral.
Plans are at an advanced stage aiming to provide club members with the following :-
Wide range of Competition Cars so far promised to attend :-
* Graham Pryme’s Murena 2.2 (fastest off the line at Prescott Hill)
* Andy Owler’s Bagheera (also at Prescott possibly now with Supercharger?)
Nigel Paten’s competition winning Renault R8 Gordini.
* Titus Taylor’s Murena (who exchanged drives with Graham at Santa Pod)
Mick Ward’s Simca 1000SR (Supercharged)
Others likely include, members of Avantime Owners and Renault Owners Clubs
bringing Alpine A110, plus others including Prescott Hill Competitors
Further attractions are :-
Rides in a Competition Matra bodied Rene Bonnet Djet courtesy of Andy Owler
(ear defenders recommended!). Demonstration rides possibly from other owners.
- Greig Dalgliesh – His own specially machined tools (See September 2008 issue)
- Share your prized Memorabilia (or sell?) to other members (spares, books etc)
- Roy Gillard, our Editor will be there to answer your technical questions.
- Inn boasts both an excellent Restaurant and Carvery and usual facilities.
TV, DVD & VCR to show items of interest (please bring your own items if you wish).
Hope to see you all (with Matra’s and Competition Cars if possible) on the day.
Please contact Chris House on 020 8763 0890 if you require further information
and wish you a Merry ‘Credit Crunch’ Christmas to one and all.
* All NEC club stand exhibits this year!
