A pleasure H, especially as I thought that I should do something to justify the Spirit of the Club award.

By the way that photo of me is b****y awful - I look like a halfwit. But the camera never lies, or at least that used to be the case before digital cameras, smartphones and photo-editing software. James, if that photo goes in the 2027 calendar I'll be resigning PDQ. And that's a threat and a promise.

I am intending in the next week to update the All Cars list with the Tommys that were at the Green Man. If your car isn't already on the list and you don't want me to add your car to the list please let me know by PM.

I did know that Kev had cancelled the Cafe and Convoy bit of the Christmas Meet, but as I'd never been there before I did call in last Sunday at the Willoughby Cafe as it is on my route, well not too far off it. I was rewarded with a first class bacon & egg sarni. A great way to start the day even if my car was the only Tomcat there. Hopefully, next year, there'll be more Tommys than just mine in the Convoy.

Commiserations. Hopefully we'll see the car at other Meets and Events in the coming 12 months.

A great turn out and a good line up of coupes.

Thanks to veryone that came to support this event especially those that actual brought a coupe

Thanks to Add Stace for organising this one and the quiz was a hit once again.

If you missed this and wantb to come next year then regardless of if your coupe will be on the road next winter or not remember is is normally the second or thrird Sunday in Janaury.

Same location so look out for more detail later on in the year.
