Candlelighters Charity Day

25/6/2011

Sherburn Aero Club
On 25th June 2011 we had a multi region event with our friends from Tees Valley, South Yorkshire and North Yorkshire joining the West Yorkshire crew for our 2nd year of helping with the Candlelighters Charity Day at Sherburn Aero Club near Selby, Yorkshire.

Candlelighters is a Yorkshire based charity formed and run by parents of children who are suffering from or have had cancer.

Croydon’s Classic Vehicle Show

19/6/2011

Although a small local show by some standards, this event has always managed to attract a good range of modern and classic cars to come and show. The event this year was blessed with some great weather and over twenty TVRs from various regions local to the Royston area showing. There were various competitions ranging throughout the day, from men pulling Landrovers around, to model spitfires and jet-fighters dog fighting it out in the skies above. Generally, a very enjoyable way to spend a Sunday afternoon - and I thoroughly recommend the burgers!

Goodwood rumbles to the TVR roar!

5/6/2011

It was a great first day to the TVR Car Club's 2011 main event - TAG11 - at Goodwood yesterday as cars took to the iconic circuit, the hillclimb at Goodwood House and the leafy lanes of Sussex.

Visitors were also entertained by a stunning close formation flying display by the Yakolev display team, the Royal Navy Raiders freefall parachute display team and the Royal Navy Historic Flight's magnificent Sea Fury, together with a magnificent finale from the band of the Adjutant General's Corps.

Joining us for the day were members of the Coldtream Guards, freshly back from a tour of duty in Afghanistan, our event's chosen charity Help4Heroes and a small number of the "band of brothers" - wounded servicemen, all of whom enjoyed the track experience thanks to the generosity of our members who took them around.

Thanks must go to the Hampshire Region's organising team, especially Steve Shaw, Mike Westaway, and Andy & Annette Paton, without whom this whole event would have remained just an idea suggested in a regional meeting over 2 years ago. Thank you to you all - and to all of your able assistants who marshalled us, pace car'd us and made the whole day run on rails.
