Hi All, 
 
Well I can not believe the summer is nearly over and we will soon be in the dark nights. Hopefully everyone got out and about when they got the chance. 
 
A few of us attended ASDA day in Bruntingthroupe in Leicestershire had a great day with lots of bargains, including cheap pop and clothes, plus the chance to ride in sports cars and drive an Asda arctic for just a fiver. The news is that the day raised over £40,000 for the two chosen Children’s charities.
 
Work commitments stopped me going to Stafford but it did not stop the rest of the DV crew from having a great time mostly gambling, drinking and eating with good company. Judging by the photographs some amazing outfits were worn on Saturday Night.
 
Moorgreen Show, a local event, was up to its usual high standards with plenty to see and do including archery plus lots of classic cars on display. Colin fired up the BBQ and fed us with sausages and bacon until we were about to bust.
 
Last but by no means least the Lincolnshire camping weekend had good weather on the Friday and Saturday. Then just before the presentation the heavens opened on Sunday, but it did not stop everyone having a great time. I am told Garth’s quiz was brilliant and Phil’s quiz was fiendish as usual. The cricket on the beach was something else – Jonathon from Northants was caught out by Carl from Hallamshire on the first ball. (Mind you so was I).
 
Onto our monthly meeting. It started with a noggin, a natter and few updates. Stuart then hosted a general knowledge quiz. Well what can I say about the questions. Normally you would get them all right and in the correct order, but not with Stewart. Simple questions made hard and answers not matching the questions resulted in everybody crying with laughter. Eventually it was won by Richard W and Paul, but I don’t know how. Thanks Stuart for organizing the quiz it was very entertaining.
 
We finished off the night with our usual raffle. One of the prizes, which we thought was gents after shave, turned out to be hair balm.

Roger
