June 2008
Hope that you you’ve managed to be out and about this year so far. Weather has been a bit mixed but I know several of you have braved rain, snow, and even had some sunshine to get to events. I’ve put together a few pictures from these events, but the main thing to tell you about in this newsletter is our involvement with the Beaulieu Hot Rod & Custom Drive In day on Sunday June 22nd.
Beaulieu Hot Rod & Custom Drive In – June 22nd
We have been asked by Beaulieu Motor Museum to help out with the Hot Rod & Custom Drive In day on Sunday 22nd June. This event ties in with The Art of Custom exhibition which is running throughout the year on the site, and which features the art work of our own club member Chris Jones.
Helping out will involve assisting with the show field entry gate (vetting entrants), parking up the show vehicles, and general duties on the show field. We’ve also agreed to help with publicising the show and assistance with advice in the run up to the show. Beaulieu will be presenting some prizes and it’s hoped that Victory Wheelers can also.
In return Beaulieu have agreed that any club members helping out will be eligible for free entry to the event, and that the club can hold a club barbecue on the Saturday evening, and can camp over in preparation for the following day.
We must advise Beaulieu of members attending on the Saturday and Sunday so please return an entry form or please phone me with the details.
If this one day show is successful then there is a possibility that a weekend event may be possible next year.
Curdridge Show
Another show that we have been asked to attend is Curdridge Show on Saturday 19th July. They would like us to bring along around 10 vehicles (rods, customs, yanks or bikes). We need to be on site around 9.30 and the show finishes at 5.00pm. It would be great if we could support this local show, so please let me know via the enclosed return slip or via phone, e-mail or at the club if you can attend.
Hayling Reunion 2008
The 3rd Hayling Reunion took place on Sunday 18th May and was extremely successful. Thankfully the sun shone and the local council weren’t too impossible. Many thanks to Big Al for all his effort in making the arrangements and we look forward to our 4th Reunion next year.
Wheels Day
A few hardy souls attended Wheels Day and managed to squeeze all four seasons into one day! This year the club met for an early breakfast at Loomies café and then cruised up to Aldershot, where as usual the site was packed, with a prize being awarded to Brian for his new rod.
Ace Café
As last year there was a contingent of Wheelers that attended the Executioners Spring Riot at the Ace Café, and once again this was in beautiful sunshine. Haven’t any pictures come through but from what I hear it was a good night, with a late drive back along the motorway.
