Club News
The club wishes to express deepest sympathy to the friends and family of Phil Owen who sadly passed away peacefully on August 10th after a long illness. Phil was one of the founder members of the club. A donation of £50 was made to Douglas Macmillan Hospice along with a signed sympathy card.
Happier news is that Eddie Howell and Stephen Dent won runners up prizes at recent shows confirming again the quality of the cars in our club.
There was no prize for the club stand at the show at Tatton on 19th and 20th August. It was a bit of a washout with some of the tracked vehicles getting bogged down in the mud.
The raffle raised £58 and an additional money was raised when Ray auctioned a one-off CBCCC mug . The winner was Andrew with a bid of £7 from Andrew.
My thanks to Tony Pomelli for the picture of his “ little ones”

AUGUST NEWSLETTER
AUGUST NEWSLETTER
CONGLETON BEARTOWN CLASSIC CAR CLUB
Our meeting on Monday 7th August was well-attended. The raffle raised £62 and thanks to all who donated prizes. The books by J Clarkson were as popular as ever even despite his recent illness. Tickets for the forthcoming show at Tatton Park were handed out by Terry.
Notable Events
Tony Pomelli won runner-up in the 1970s saloon class at the Cheshire Classic Car and Motorcycle show at Capesthorne with his lovely Fiat 500. At the Leek show The Mayor of Este (twinned with Leek) invited him for an expenses paid trip to Italy because he liked his car so much- sadly the car will not be going.
Steve Adams won class 6 with his 1934 Morris 10/4 at the Thoresby National Rally.
Although many of us, me included, are unlikely to win prizes for our cars we should take pride in the variety and quality of cars in our club.

Author- Bryan Hurst
May was a busy month for me and the club .At the club meeting on June 5th there was a good turnout despite the lousy weather. The raffle raised £43. Terry informed us of a number of upcoming events. And reviewed what we had done during May.
Smallwood
Although there were some admin hiccups those who attended gave it a thumbs up. This is a show I will consider attending next year. My excuse this year was that I was watching F1 at Monaco.
Endon Well-Dressing
This is the club’s way of showing our respect to Harold.
Road Run Sunday May 21st
Excellent turnout of 20 cars for a 49 mile run finishing up at the Venetian Marina. Only 10 cars got lost!
Tatton Classic Car Show June 3-4
The stand was full both Saturday and Sunday. I was there on Sunday and we were entertained by novel ways to try and stop rainwater collecting on the roof of the gazebo during a heavy shower early on. The rest of Sunday was fair. We did not get a prize for the stand this year but two of our members got individual prizes. Frank for his rare A35 pick up and Renzo for his X19.
Forthcoming Events
Classic cars at the Venetian Marina on the 1st Thursday of the month with prizes ( wine) for the best car.

May 2017 Newsletter
MAY 2017. NEWSLETTER. ( May 17th)
Here goes, my first attempt at writing the newsletter. I agreed to take this over from Terry to try and lighten his load. I will regularly be asking for contributions and suggestions for improvement. Any feedback good or bad will be acted upon.
Bryan Hurst
CLUB WEBSITE.
If you are having any problems please let us know. As far as I am aware it seems to be working OK.
NEW MEMBERS.
Please give a warm welcome to our new members Andrew and Julie Teszke.
ANNUAL BBQ.
It has been proposed that we bring in external caterers to do the cooking so that club members can enjoy the clubs major event without having to spend a lot of time slaving over a hot BBQ. It is estimated that the additional cost would be between 3 and 5£ per head. It is difficult to give a precise figure. The cost for guest tickets would be raised from £5 to £7.50 to offset the additional costs. Since we do not know the number of guests it is not possible to know how much this contribution will be.
The decision to outsource part of the catering has not been made we will be seeking your input at the next meeting after which a decision to stick with the old formula or change to part outsourcing will be made.
Irrespective of the decision we will need your support to run the BBQ. We will be looking for volunteers for the BBQ subcommittee at the next meeting.
PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE.
The Public Liability Insurance ‘Certificate’ is now available on the Web-Site, under the ‘downloads’ tab.
MEMBERS NEWS
We received a text from Harold to ask again for our support for the Endon Well Dressing on May 29th.
The club presented Karen Facer with a shrub and a get well card. The good news is that Karen is responding well to treatment. We all hope she is able to watch her new shrub grow to full bloom in the years to come.
KEY EVENTS IN JUNE
TATTON PARK; JUNE 03rd. / 04th., 2017.
The list for members wishing to participate from the Club Stand closed, as planned, at the April Club Night meeting. Every effort will be made to get the “passes” available for distribution at our May Club Night meeting; 02nd. May, but this is a big ask of the organisers. In the event of non-arrival, passes will be handed out at events, especially over the late May Bank Holiday weekend, thereby keeping postal costs to a minimum. As a last resort passes will be posted to members during the week prior to the Tatton Park event.
