Minutes from July meeting Date of Meeting: 15 July 2008 Location: Field Head Hotel Markfield First Time Attendees: None
Since Previous Meeting: The planned Breakfast Club visit to RAF Cosford took place recently – quite a few cars on display (including a number of Porsches) and the trip around the various museum buildings was extremely interesting. Future Events:
· Beaumanor Hall (near Loughborough) July 20th. Meet at Graham Wallers house 9.00 am for bacon butties and then convoy to the Hall. AOB. Further thoughts have been had re a lasting memorial to Paul Drury and Judy Phillips. Just a few miles away at Alrewas there is the National Memorial Arboretum which has been laid out as a place to visit to remember people killed in service etc. There is also a wooded area that has been planted to remember those who have been killed in vehicle accidents. The idea is to purchase a plaque and place it next to a tree of your choice as a lasting memorial. We (Chris and Kathy) intend to do this and put it to members present that if any one else wanted to contribute we would purchase the plaque on behalf of the Region (or indeed TIPEC). It was agreed that this would be a good thing to do. More information at the next meeting by which time we will have spoken to the respective families of Paul and Judy. Christmas Party 2008: I know it is only July but the Field Head Hotel already have their Christmas Party plans in place and to ensure we get in we have provisionally booked 20 places. The date was to be Saturday the 13th December but has subsequently been changed to the 6th. The price for the meal range from £14 for two courses to £19 for four courses. Special rate accommodation is also available. Here is also entertainment on the night so it should be a good night. A deposit of £5 per person is required to reserve a place. Please let me know if you want to attend – no urgency at the moment but it would be nice to know a.s.a.p. how many places we will need to reserve. Immediate dates for your diary:
