VMCC Lakeland Section

V.M.C.C. Lakeland Section

It has been some time since I have sent out an e-mail to Section members, and while there are many not on this mailing list the numbers are slowly growing.

If you know of any members who have access to e-mails and are do not receive this communication, please encourage them to contact me with their e-mail address.

2010 Events List

All Section members should now have a copy of the events for 2010.  However I have discovered a glitch in the system.  Members who ticked a ‘no contact’ box on their renewal form / details will have missed out because their addresses were not included in the information sent to me from V.M.C.C. Headquarters.

If you come across anyone in that category, tell them to contact me so that I can make sure they are on my list of members (unless they want to stay out of circulation).  For convenience I have attached a copy of the list which you can print out / pass on to anyone who would like a copy.

An Appeal

Tim Savelio who lives at Blitterlees near Silloth has been in touch with me with a plea for help.  He has rebuilt a 1953 Ariel VB but is having problems getting it ready for the road.  The problem is lack of power; it starts and runs, but has no ‘go’ even on the slightest gradient.

We discussed the obvious such as timing etc. but this has been checked without success.

If you are knowledgeable on Ariels, or even better could visit Tim with some practical assistance he would be most grateful.

Tim can be contacted by ‘phoning 016973 32659, or by e-mail to timsavelio(at)yahoo.com

February Club Night

For those who did not make the January Club Night, please note that the version on the 2010 Events List that has recently been circulated is the correct version.  That is, February’s Club Night is with Geoff Brazendale who will be convincing us all how brilliant the Velocette L.E. is.  Having briefly owned one (a non-runner because it was in many separate pieces) I am to be convinced; but it did have a strange fascination.

The Border Run

Geoff would like it emphasised that The Border Run to take place on Sunday 25^th April, will depart promptly at the advertised time of 10:30a.m. so it would be advisable to arrive a bit earlier to ensure that all signing on and other preparations are complete.

Please pass this on to any other member you think will be taking part in this run.

Best Wishes,

Malcolm Miller
