Our first meeting of the year was held on the 3rd Feb at our new venue The Strickland Arms at Sizergh. It was well attended including  some new faces and a visit by a member of the Fylde MG Club. It was suggested at the meeting that we should have a short drive to start the year to put us in the mood for what promises to be a busy year. So with the days still being short a local run around Cartmel was suggested by Martin who volunteered to be the organiser. It was advertised as the “Sticky Toffee Pudding Run” after the famous Cartmel pudding. Thanks must go to Martin for organising the run and giving me the route details as I couldn’t take part due to illness. Four cars left Witherslack on a bright sunny morning some with their tops down. After driving under the A590 the cars headed for Ulpha then onto Grange passing the golf course. It was then on to Humphrey Head, Flookburgh, Cartmel & Cark ……….but not necessarily  in that order !! The intention was to have a coffee stop at Holker Hall but finding it closed it was decided to go to The Lakeland Motor Museum cafe at Backbarrow. Unfortunately Brian’s car developed a throttle cable problem so he was left behind to re- join the group later at The Royal Oak. The remaining cars continued up Brow Edge and on to The Royal Oak at Lindale for lunch.  Sue

STICKY TOFFEE TOUR UPDATE!

Could everyone please note that the start time for the run on Sunday 15th has been amended. We will leave the Derby Arms at 10.30am, not 10.00am as previously stated. Lunch will be at the Royal Oak, Lindale at approx 1.00pm.

"The Sticky Toffee Tour". February 15th.

Brian Jackson is organising our first run of the year on February 15th. It will be a tour around the Cartmel peninsula. The run will start from the Derby Arms, Witherslack at 10.00am and as usual will include coffee and lunch stops.

As always we start the new year with a Christmas/New Year Sunday lunch. This year we dined at the Punch Bowl at Underbarrow,which is often confused with the Punch Bowl at Crosthwaite a couple of miles down the road…….isn’t it Brian and Sue !!!

We all had an excellent meal and everyone is looking forward to our first run of the year.
