Title: Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Area Meeting Post by: mikeC on 15 April, 2015, 05:06:59 PM In an attempt to revive the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Area, I would like to invite LMC members to my local Classic and Enthusiast gathering at The John Fretwell Sports Centre, Sookholme Road, Mansfield, NG19 8LL.
We meet on the second and fourth Tuesdays from April to September, all welcome from 5pm onwards; barbecue food available from about 7pm, and lots of room for the kids to run amok, so bring the family too! The venue is about 1/4 mile off the A60 about three miles north of Mansfield, and is sign-posted from the A60 - we get an eclectic mix of cars, from diminutive Austin Seven to gargantuan Cadillac, and from pre-Great War Veteran to modern-day hot-rod.

My contact number is 07779 718812 - Mike Costigan Title: Re: Derbyshire & Nottinghamshire Area Meeting Post by: brian on 16 April, 2015, 08:15:13 AM A good idea and I am not so far away (just south of Derby) but until October 31st I work on Tuesdays and never leave before 7.30 or so . Next year I will be a man of leisure if the grandchildren allow it.

I'll try to make it down at some point over the summer. Neil Title: Re: Derbyshire & Nottinghamshire Area Meeting Post by: mikeC on 17 April, 2015, 07:58:29 AM Look forward to meeting you, Neil - pick a nice summer's evening!
If I get enough Lancia interest, I shall look at establishing our own meeting, probably on another evening, but that's for the future... Title: Re: Derbyshire & Nottinghamshire Area Meeting Post by: neil-yaj396 on 19 April, 2015, 07:23:02 AM I've emailed Peter Fawcett who I bought my current Beta from. He lives in Sheffield and was asking about local meetings. He has a Series 3 Appia.
Title: Re: Derbyshire & Nottinghamshire Area Meeting Post by: mikeC on 22 May, 2015, 05:51:39 PM A reminder that the next meeting is this coming Tuesday (26th May); the forecast is looking good at the moment, so we should get another fine evening, this was the turn-out last time... and not a Lancia in sight!

I am away until begin of June, but aim to get along sometime in June. Peter Title: Re: Derbyshire & Nottinghamshire Area Meeting Post by: neil-yaj396 on 23 May, 2015, 01:28:32 PM Mike
I'm at a concert on Tuesday, but as said before I will try for one of the June or July meetings. Neil Title: Re: Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Area Meeting Post by: mikeC on 08 July, 2015, 07:54:50 AM A reminder that our next meeting is on Tuesday 14th July.
We had two surprises at the last meeting: the first was an enormous 1930 Packard dual-cowl phaeton (http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q136/vernonderby/Local/P1030284.800_zpsektww6cp.jpg) ... and the second was four Lancias! (http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q136/vernonderby/Local/P1030289.800_zpsxxxgacnd.jpg) Left to right: Brian's Delta HF Turbo, Mario's Beta Volumex Coupe, Steve's Fulvia Coupe, and my little Appia. Can we better that this month? Probably not, as I shall be there, but not in the Appia; I shall be returning from another event with a different old car, so my Lancia will have to wait until the 28th for its next visit. Title: Re: Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Area Meeting Post by: mikeC on 25 July, 2015, 06:31:57 PM A reminder that our next meeting is this coming Tuesday (28th July); the forecast is not very encouraging, so it may be a small turnout!
Title: Re: Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Area Meeting Post by: mikeC on 18 September, 2015, 07:44:25 AM This coming Tuesday, September 22nd, will be our final meeting of the year - shall we see any Lancias this month?
Title: Re: Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Area Meeting Post by: mikeC on 15 April, 2016, 08:00:31 AM We shall resume our evening meetings at Sookholme on Tuesday 24th April; shall we break the record of four Lancias this year? :D All welcome, with or without a Lancia!
