Birmingham & Coventry Areas Celebrate!
To help celebrate Charlotte’s birthday a few members from the Birmingham and Coventry area centres met up for lunch at a local carvery. Coventry area no longer has regular meetings so it was especially welcome to get together with other Imp enthusiasts. Alongside excessive eating there was much Imp conversation! Plans are already underway to ensure that as many of us as possible, along with our Imps, make it to next year’s National event. Those helping Charlotte celebrate were Nicola, Pam, Lynda and the three Daves.
Dave A. was due to head over to Charlotte’s the next day to help her get Sammy up and running again, Sammy has spent far too long in his garage feeling a bit neglected so needs a bit of tlc. A new battery is already on charge, new plugs etc on order so Sammy’s return to full heath has begun…
As an aside – Charlotte looked extremely happy to finally get her hands on an unbroken Alfold mug, her original met with a somewhat untimely end before she even got it home from National – see photo!
NE Hampshire & NW Surrey’s Area
With Tim S and Warren B this month, Ken H and Sam W as usual attended. We welcomed two visitors this time too, Sam G and Daniel W, who joined us from their own Hampshire Area
Quite often one of us will bring along an Imp-related item or two as a “show and tell” feature. This evening Tim had a pile of old car magazines for us to trawl through.
It is fascinating to check out the old-fashioned adverts, articles and features written maybe 50+ years ago.
This one, the 1966 Autocar Magazine, has “for sale” listings which include several Imps for around £300 to £500. If only…..
We chatted, enjoyed a pub beverage, and talked about lots of topics including, of course, Imp things, for a few hours. We usually meet on the 4th Monday of the Month, at the Six Bells just east of Farnham around 7:30pm. Contact Tim or Warren for more details.
