30th March 2008	A Breath 0f Saltaire
	Despite losing an hours sleep the glorious start to the day saw 25 cars assembling at the Little Chef for the start of the run. We split into 2 groups and travelled via Nick o' Pendle to the coffee stop at Slaidburn. The first group were still in the upstairs tearoom enjoying bacon butties so it was al fresco for us. Luckily the sun was still shining as it continued to do all day. This does have good and bad points, on the plus side it means tops down all the way but just like the daffodils the Spring weather brings caravans bursting out all over. Now I have nothing against caravans as long as they stay in one place. Anyway we found some lovely roads on which even the most daring tourer would not venture and carried on to Saltaire. When recced on a winters day this seemed to have ample tearooms to cater for our needs. However a sunny Sunday is quite another matter. Still we all managed to get fed and watered and returned via Oxenhope Moor to The Winepress at Hollingworth Lake and yes finding a parking space was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Some of us managed it though and enjoyed a farewell drink before heading for home. As it said on the tulip map the M62 is signed from here (for is read was). However everyone must have managed for when we set off for home at about 9.00pm having stayed for a meal the only car we saw belonged to Brian & Sue who had been to “The Old Bore at Rishworth . Thanks to all who came along and especially Carol for the cakes which we can be seen enjoying on some photos of the run on the Picassa Web Album
24th February 2008	Blow the cobwebs Away
	Despite heavy rain 16 cars turned up at Middlebrook . The first part of the drive took us over the West Pennine Moors through Rivington, Belmont,Roach Bridge and Salmesbury Bottoms. to Huntleys for coffee and some delicious cake supplied by Carol -more on that later After coffee we carried on along some lovely twisty roads through Wilpshire and Billington to Hurst Green where we stopped at Stoneyhurst College for a photo opportunity. At last we managed to get the tops down for the rest of the journey to Clitheroe. Here the Club bought a bouquet of flowers to take to Carol. As many of you will know Carol peovides us with the most delicious cakes. but on the eve of the last run she was rushed into hospital, however, she still made sure John brought along the cakes. Although still recovering she baked and sent cakes along to this run as well. A big thank you Carol and hope to see you on the next run. Thanks to Carl Trish and John for an excellent day out To see photos go to Picassa Web Album
10th February 2008	Fylde Fives and a bit more.....
	Twenty cars met at Huntley’s for the first run of 2008, on a lovely sunny day. We travelled along some very twisty country lanes to our coffee stop at a very busy Lytham Gardens. Although Carol wasn’t on the run as she had been rushed into hospital she had very thoughtfully sent along some of her delicious home made cakes. Thank you Carol and we all wish you a speedy recovery. We then continued on to Chris Allen Mazda at Poulton le Fylde. Good weather does have its drawbacks though and the roads were incredibly busy. We eventually arrived at the garage for some refreshments and a short talk about the building of the garage which is the Fylde’s first purpose built sustainable garage. It seems there were originally plans to build a large lighthouse type structure on the building but this was modified. Perhaps, just as well as they may have discovered a stranded boat on their forecourt. Speaking of stranded boats this was the next destination for some of us. We carried on to the North shore of Blackpool beach to see the Riverdance which ran aground there. After watching the Coastguard chase away a small vessel, obviously after something to go with their flask of tea, we drove down to the Bispham Café and rounded off a good day out in true seaside style with fish and chips. Thanks to John Smallwood for organising the run. To see photos go to Picassa Web Album
