RED ROSE JUNE BULLETIN

Life In Lock Down Month three!!

Well the Red Rose bulletin is not quite as easy to write as it was before this

new kind of normal that we all find ourselves living in. Hopefully you and your

loved ones are all safe and well and enjoying the sunshine

We would normally have been well into the car season by now and taking

advantage of the lovely weather by getting out and about in our cars.

As it is the weeks are flying by and there is a long list of events we didn’t get

to do. However here at Red Rose we don’t let a lockdown defeat us!

Thank you to everyone who has been posting pictures on the facebook

group.

We have all certainly been keeping ourselves busy working on our cars and

houses

Some projects have been bigger than others! David Bailey now has a very

impressive new garage for his cars which has prompted much discussion on

the face book page

The parcel delivery drivers have also been busy delivering all those car parts

and we should have a very impressive array of TR’s on the road after this

with no failures to proceed in contention for this year’s broken spanner award!

Some of us have been trying new skills!

Jonathan tried his hand at dog grooming and I have been brushing up on my

baking and learning to touch type! All I will say is we were very glad to see the

2020

`


dog groomer, and I don’t think I will be winning any prizes for speed typing!

However our waistlines are proof that the baking is at least edible!

What new skill have you learnt during lockdown? Let us know with

photos please! and we can do a feature in next month’s bulletin

We have had a suggestion from a member about having a zoom meeting!

If we have enough interest this is something we could do on the date our next

meeting would be due. It would be great to see all your faces and your dodgy

hair! I am now sporting a side fringe and some very impressive roots!

MAY

We had lots of cars out their drives for The National Stay at Home Motor

show on May 3rd and on VE day when we should have been at Gawsworth

Hall there were lots of cars and some very impressive afternoon teas on

display!

A STAR IN OUR MIDST!

Our very own Tracie Bailey has been working hard on a number of projects to

help her community and this one made it into the local paper!

A WINSFORD mum has created a tree of hope in her garden.

Mum-of-two Tracie

Bailey is inviting

people who pass by

to add anything

colourful to thank all

the key workers who

are supporting the

community during

the pandemic."I

crocheted a rainbow

and people started

adding little bits,"

`


said Tracie, a keen sewer, who is making scrubs and mask extenders to

protect frontline staff. "I've brought my sewing machine into the lounge. It's better than just sitting

watching the TV."

Her friend Sharon O’Brien said: "Tracie has decorated a tree in her garden for

people to look at whilst out on their daily walk whilst Covid-19 lockdown is on.

"People love it and have been adding there own decorations."

MAY’S PHOTO’S

Although we can’t actually go out in our cars at the moment everyone seems

to have been very busy working on them and you have all been posting

pictures of your projects and car related purchases on the Red Rose

facebook page

Here are some of our favourite ones for May

Future Events

Sadly as you will be aware all of our planned events for June/July have been

cancelled or postponed (Refer to updated events schedule below)

TR International Weekend 2020 / 2021

It has recently been confirmed that this year’s International event has now

been cancelled.

A venue and dates have yet to be confirmed although Alan and Wayne were

seen recently at Rutland agricultural showground whilst scouting for 2020

venues. This will no doubt provoke much speculation on the forum

Oulton Park 50th Anniversary Weekend 30/31st August

I am sure many of you are wondering about whether or not this event will be

going ahead.

We are monitoring the situation and have contacted the Portal Hotel for an

update and we are waiting on a response from them, but at this point in time

we are still hopeful that the event can be held in some form and as soon as

we have any news we will be in touch

NEW DATES: 50 Years of the TR Register Celebration Day at British

Motor Museum, Gaydon.

End Of Year Run

We are very much hoping that we will be able to have a run towards the end

of the year and any suggestions would be most welcome

PLANS FOR 2021

2020 is not looking like it will have many car events in so we all need to look

ahead to next year more than ever and start making plans!

Suggestions so far include a holiday to France, A weekend in Wales with a

visit to Portmeirion and the ever popular Coast to Coast. If you have anything

you would like us to look into doing in 2021 please email us at

[email protected] You all have plenty of time to come up with ideas

so get your thinking caps on!

We will be back next month with another bulletin and in the mean time

STAY ALERT AND STAY SAFE!
