The highlight of the Evening came with the Arrival of the Sausages and
Chips, hotly pursued by the membership, and to keep up the best traditions
of this Society 64 Members took advantage of the situation and enjoyed
a very well cooked supper. Some were even spotted struggling with a Chip
Butty. After the feast the membership gave a thunderous applause
for the staff for the good food and service provided as a gesture
for the BMPS support for the Adam Price Appeal.
The Next Meeting will be on Wednesday 3rd November 2010.
The final piece of news:
A day out to Stafford, to the Classic Mechanics Show which always brings
out a good selection of Japanese classic. Machines most looking as
though they had just come out of the factory. For the second time
the coach avoided the M6 on the way home because heavy goods were blocking
3 lanes of the M6.
