​​  Chiltern Group Proposal for Alterations to Allocated Post Codes​

​

Your Chairman and Committee wish to thank all Nene Valley members who voted and supported us in objecting to the proposal by the Chiltern Group Rally Officer, for alterations to be made to the allocated post codes between the two Groups.

A strong case was made to Council of Management by the Nene Valley Group against any alterations to the post codes on a number of points, as any alterations at all would have been detrimental to our Nene Valley membership.

I am very pleased to inform you all, that at a recent meeting, Council of Management found in our favour, and there will be no alterations to the areas of the two Groups.

Once again, my thanks for the support of  Group members, and your views on the matter.

Sincerely, Paul Betts, Chairman​

Due to alterations by Lloyds Bank, our Treasurer can take payment by cash or BACS, but unfortunately we have to add 50p to every payment made by cheque, due to Bank charges

 ​​Petruth Paddocks Meet

We arrived at Petruth Paddocks to sunshine. All our visitors arrived safely through the afternoon, with some sat navs sending them on interesting and challenging routes, some arriving by a farm track! Saturday we were not so fortunate with the weather, and it rained on and off all day, but it didn't stop our visitors venturing out and exploring Cheddar, Jacob's Ladder and the caves. Several ventured to the Brewery at Cheddar Ales, which was a short walk away, where I am reliably informed that the local brew and cider went down a treat, in a friendly atmosphere from the locals. At coffee morning Paul, our Chairman, announced that we had visitors from 11 different Groups. After coffee morning many wandered off to the nearby Car Boot and Market, which was massive. In the afternoon we played archery and horse shoe throwing, with Martin, Chair of The Motorcycle Group winning the archery, and John of Nene Valley winning the horse shoe game. We then moved on to Exmouth.

  EXMOUTH THS  9th to 17th June was hosted by the Committee

From Petruth Paddocks, which was hosted by Jane and Denis, we continued our Holiday Meet at Exmouth Rugby Club, where we welcomed 47 vans in total from various Groups, coming from as far afield as Yorkshire. This venue is always a firm favourite, as Exmouth is able to offer so much in the immediate vicinity. In addition we put on a programme of events during our stay. A tombola was ongoing during the week , and we held a yummy sausage sizzle, and later in the week a lovely Pimms afternoon, ably hosted by Steve and Di, which encouraged everyone out on warm sunny afternoons. Jonathan offered a Boules competition, but sadly there were no takers, probably too much to do in Exmouth and surrounding area, but thank you Jonathan . Our last afternoon saw us gather for complimentary drinks and nibbles, to say thank you to you all for your support, and safe onward journeys. Our thanks are extended to everyone that helped our small Committee in making this such a successful holiday meet.   Pat
