THE WOODMAN SUNDAY 14th MARCH 2004
Despite a very wet and windy day it was heartening to see quite a few cars
arrive at the Woodman this month. Our first meeting of the year, it was nice to
meet up with our old friends and meet some new members. It was good to see Andy
Kent whom we hadn’t seen for a while. We said hello for the first time to Steve
Minns from Epping in Essex, Pete Kyte and his son Alex from Maidstone. Also, Tom
Whithers from RedHill and Bill Carlson from Croydon came along to meet us and
hopefully will be joining up soon. Regular faces included Steve Kingsnorth and
myself with Linda and Mark, Pete Mason and Kelly who are soon to be proud owners
of a supercharger, currently being shipped over from Japan, Dave Leyland and
Opel, Ken and Leslie Piner, PCT champion Alan Scott and finally Chris Falcke who
came along to show us his recently aquired Celica GT4.
As the awful weather continued, we decided quite quickly not to hang around
in the car park so we all headed inside the pub. Funnily enough, I believe this
is the first time that we have had to seek shelter from the weather at the
Woodman, and was able to appreciate the internal surroundings of the pub.
Thanks to everyone who came and look forward to seeing you at our next
meeting on the ‘Essex Run’ on 4th April.
Alan Cayzer.
THE WOODMAN SUNDAY 14th SEPTEMBER 2003
A sizzling hot day again when we met at the Woodman. I can’t believe that we
have been so lucky with the weather this year at all our meetings. Yet another
fantastic turn out of cars this month from all over the south east with Gareth
Orchard coming all the way from Luton and Pete Mason and Karl Thomas coming from
the Kent coast. In fact we had cars from all counties represented, Kent, Surrey,
Sussex, Herts and Essex. Well done everybody for making this a great turn out.
We welcomed new cars from Peter Sales from Crowborough whom we met at the
Bromley Pageant show and Ron O’Keefe, both with mica blue MR2’s. Ron’s car has
been re-upholstered in blue leather to a very high standard, even David Price
was impressed! With sporty alloys and a few other mod’s the car looked fantastic
so we were all surprised to hear that he had picked it up for £800! (and
envious)
Hot, Hot, Hot! The weather was hot and so were the cars.
"Pete, are you sure this is a MK1 with a MK2 bodykit?"
THE WOODMAN SUNDAY 13th APRIL 2003
An excellent start at the first southeast pub meeting at the Woodman. With
the sunshine out it was a very pleasant afternoon. At the peak we had ten lovely
cars in the car park and met some new and very nice people. Steve’s SC gave us a
fright when it refused to start after playing with it but was rescued by Dave
Leyland who had the sense to check the fuses and found that one had blown. Were
all looking forward to the Ravens Wood show on Sunday 11th May.
THE WOODMAN SUNDAY 3rd NOVEMBER 2002
Following the success of our previous meetings at the ‘Woodman’ we are
arranging another meeting on Sunday 3rd November at Noon. (Meet in the car park
up until 1.00pm)
After lunch we intend to drive approximately 3 miles to meet the MR2 Drivers
Club for a short while at the Grasshopper Inn at Westerham. We would like to see
as many members as possible at this last meeting of the year in the south east
area.
May News - Kent’s Pub Meetings
By the time you read this the club Kent members will have already met twice
this year. Our Kent area organiser has sent a flyer to all Kent members and the
meetings are advertised on the club web site. If anyone is living in or near the
Kent area and has not seen the venues and dates then contact Alan Cayzer who
will be glad to give you the details.
Kent members met for the first time at the Badgers Mount Pub in North Kent on
21st April, The hottest day of the year so far! Four cars arrived at the Badgers
Mount Public House. First to arrive was Organiser Alan Cayzer joined soon after
by Johnathan Hutton and his fiance Lisa from Bromley, Next to arrive was Martin
Bagley and Sandy from Orpington and finally David Price, our new Surrey and
Middlesex Organiser from Shepperton in his gleaming Micra blue T Bar. With
introductions and formalities over we all headed for ‘The Woodman’ at Ide Hill
near Sevenoaks for a drink and some Lunch.
When we arrived at the Woodman we found a light blue MK1 already in the car
park so naturally assuming it was another club member we all parked next to him.
The next thing we know a bemused bloke comes wandering over asking what’s going
on? It turned out he wasn’t a member of the club, he was there just having a
quiet drink and thought he was dreaming when he saw us all arriving. Needless to
say we now have a new member in the club.
Gavin Harrold was also there awaiting our arrival. Unfortunately his car is
not very well at the moment but it was nice to see him. Hopefully Gavin can
nurse it better before the summer and bring it to the pub soon.
