2020 The year never to be forgotten

Who would think we would miss sitting under brollies keeping the Sun off or as in some cases the Rain!

No Christmas meals with members this year or Summer evening road runs with a meal out at some little country pub at the end.

No local branch meetings for a natter or quiz/game (and a meal out) # Sometimes I wonder if we are a Classic Car Club or a Dining Club? #
Some of us have found it quite lonely not having day to day contact with other like-minded people, we hope this coming year we will be able to get the old motors out and take them for glorious runs to shows & rallies and then of course, have a meal out on the way home! Happy Days

When I was at school and did History, most people can remember 1665 as being “The year of the Great Plague” I wonder what kids are taught in the future about 2020 ? will it be Covid 19 or Brexit finally been done and dusted ?

Take Care & Stay safe, hope to see you all in 2021

John & Helen Bilton

As all Tyneside Branch events are now cancelled, those with this years Season Tickets can use them as payment for next years Season Ticket.

We will be getting in-touch with those members who have paid for the 2020 season to explain the details.

NECPWA will continue to follow all official Government guidelines and will keep you informed of any future plans.
