valentine's sprites at February's mtgWe had another great meeting at Ye Jolly Farmers in February, with 4 sprites and 2 midgets in attendance, plus plenty of others in more modern cars.
It was a pleasure to welcome several new members to the meeting this month. Pete & Lou and their kids who have recently acquired a Mk 3 Sprite which is still having some work done on it, came up from near Wakefield, as did Chris & Phil whose car is also under restoration at the moment. John came down from Richmond in his daughter’s 69 Sprite which has been having some overheating problems, which several old hands tried to diagnose (and admired the rather nice paint job).
It was also great to see old friends Roger who had driven up from York “roof down” in his Sprite and Harvey & Lesley who had come across from Wharfedale with hardtop on the Austin Sprite, in addition to local monthly regulars Rob & Jenny in their k-midget, Kevin in his RWA, and John & Jeanette in their daily driver.
April promises to be busy. Due to the proximity of Easter to various other events, we are not having a Hot X Run on Good Friday this year. Instead we will be organising a road run on Drive It Day, Sunday 17th April, and then on Friday 29th April, The Royal Wedding Run (for those who wish to avoid being sat in front of the telly all day!). More details follow here shortly.
