Well a busy month for Derwent Valley and I hope you all managed to get out and enjoy your cars. I am afraid that I didn't but I did join the rest of the crowd, with around 30 Triumphs, who joined Derwent Valley at the seaside on Drive-It Day. A great run out to Mablethorpe, I think we somehow managed to not follow Colin's very detailed instructions but we still got there. I am certainly glad that whoever was in front knew where they were going.
 
Once there we all went and got the most expensive Fish & Chips in the
world (I am such a tight wad) and then worked them off with a game of Beach Cricket. I watched, a bit too old and fat to join in, but it
looked like great fun. Unfortunately it was all over too soon for us;
the need to prepare for another work trip to London meant we had to slip away early. I have seen the pictures that Colin has put up on the website and they reflect a lot of happy smiling faces. It looks like summer, even though it felt Baltic to me. (Tiny enjoyed herself too)

I also missed this months Club Night due to work commitments, Roger has asked me if I am a Cockney yet! I am grateful to Richard for this part of the report, that's the great thing about Joint AO's; we can share the work and try to make sure one of us is always there.
 
Anyway, everyone went for a run out to join another group of enthusiasts
at Moorwood Moor near Alfreton, here's what Richard has to say:-

"not really a lot to report, 4 triumphs, Keith - GT6, Colin - Stag, Gary - Vitesse, Mike - Dolly (plus Angie in a skoda as Colin's back up) plus 1 Cortina, Paul & Kim left Smalley, we were met at Moorwood Moor by Stuart Charles, Roger & Bill, it was an interesting pub in the middle of nowhere with a good selection of old cars and bike, well supported with a wide variety of items from a Mk1 landrover to a TVR, 350?? a TR7 a sprite and even a Rolls Royce, it was a very friendly pub with a good
atmosphere."

That's about it from us for this month but a reminder about the 2010 Peak Run. By the time you read this all the preparation should be complete and we are on the way to another great weekend starting on 24th June. That's a Thursday start for this year. Our new campsite near Ashbourne is a simply superb location and is on offer for £25 for up to 4 nights, That is £6.25 a night for camping in the Peak District at a premier site, the best value ever. I would encourage anybody to do the full weekend and enjoy our fantastic area.

This year looks like continuing a long tradition of great fun, good company and a superb location. Come and join us, all details and booking forms are on the Website.

 
Have a great month, we are all off for a run around Derbyshire on the search for Fish and Chips on the 1st June, if we don't see you on that evening we would love to see you for the Peak Run.

Cheers me dears.
