March Monthly News Letter
Hi All
I trust you are well.
Februarys meet at The Greyhound was a great evening, we may have set a record too, for the largest age gap between attendees. Its was lovely Peters 80th birthday on the day, (but he’d pass for late 60’s), and newest edition to the section, Patsy, was celebrating her 9th day on this big planet! Patsy was wearing an Alfa Romeo branded grow bag (do they still call them that or is it a onesie or a boiler suit?) Talking of branded wear, see below! Topics covered were as varied as ever, including this friendly little face and how clever they are. See photo attached, courtesy of the birthday boy Peter. Only negative was some vicious potholes in the village which damaged at least two Alfa rims.
If you need a new fleece, polo or beanie, especially in this cold weather, we still have some stock in the club shop and are building another order, see below; or contact me for an item list. We are also working on doing a section calendar for next year so do send me your best photos!
