FIRST CLUB MEETING OF 2008

www.newforestgroup.org

 

The 1st meeting of 2008 was held on the 20th January at the Lamb Nomansland in the New Forest.

By 1200 most members had arrived but, because of the threat of rain they had come in modern cars.

Arrival of 1947 Eight Tourer

We were therefore surprised when two members arrived in their 1947  Standard Eight Tourer, with the hood down!!!!

However the hood soon went up while we had a very nice Sunday Roast followed by a short meeting to discuss future events etc.Then it was inspection time.

Members gathered round the delightful and well cared for Standard and investigated it .

 

We now have six eights in our group, four tourers, one coupe, and one saloon.

Also 1936 Avon Sports, a nine saloon and a 10 drop head.
