For quite some time now, the Cambridge area has nominally shared meetings with the not-so-local TR register, who now meet closer to Peterborough than Cambridge.

Yesterday I had a phone call from the Cambridge TSSC area organiser. They meet at the Plough in Fen Ditton on the first Monday of each month (see this thread). The reason he called was to invite us to join with them, and make the Plough get-togethers a joint CT/TSSC thing. I'm in favour of this change so I'm planning to update the official local group listings accordingly.

Now then, if this is happening, it would be great to see some more of the Cambridge-based CT members at the meets. The Plough is a good venue - a warm, comfortable pub where they serve good food. The TSSC guys seem like a friendly bunch, many of them members of both clubs, in fact. Also, as I'm no longer in a position to do so, it would be good to see some non-TSSC cars there. So come on all you Dolomite/Stag/TR/saloon owners in and around Cambridge, let's see those cars. Next opportunity is March 7th.

Sounds good to me - my nominal base is Potton so Fen Ditton is a much better location. I may not be there for the next couple of years but when I finally get back to the UK that will be ideal.

Cheers

Excellent. A couple of us from work were planning to head down, but after being at the NEC for the show all weekend, we were all too shattered to make it in the end!

Will try and rally the troops and get a couple of cars down next month.

Just a bit of a bump.

We still meet at the Plough at 8pm first Monday of the month unless that Monday is a bank holiday. 

We are also doing a run to Dunwich beach on 26th of August should anyone want to join us.

You can contact us through the TSSC Cambridge area web page or I dare say Rob will give you details. You don't need to be a member of either club and can just turn up if you want to both the meeting and the run out.

For those who might want to join us en-route:
10:30 Six Mile Bottom, Green Man Pub
10:40 Great Bradley
11:00 Dalham
11:10 Burnthorpe
11:20 Risby
11:35 West Stow
12:05 Troston
12:20 Walsham le Willows
12:40 Rishangles
13:00 Heveningham
13:30 Dunwich
All times +/- 10 mins or possibly a bit more.
