SUMMARY:‘Treasure Hunt’ Run - Club outing\, 24th August.
DESCRIPTION:There will be another car ‘treasure hunt’ run in August. David and Alison Hunter have kindly agreed to devise another of these popular events. The route will be carefully described and your task will be to gather information and answer questions about things that you pass. There will be no time limit and nothing to be gained by travelling at speed – indeed you might easily miss things if you do. Plenty of time to enjoy the drive and our eventual destination where results will be calculated. \nMake a note of the date now – Saturday 24th August\, 2024. More details will be made available to members in the August Newsletter.

SUMMARY:August Share a Ride
DESCRIPTION:Our Milestone Breakfast Meets always attract a good variety of member’s cars but have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a short ride in one of your favourites? \nOn Sunday 14th August we will meet as usual and are encouraging members to offer each other short rides in their cars. There are a number of short trips available (5 miles+) and you may choose your own. If you don’t know the area well we will have some suggestions. Members are free to offer as many reciprocal rides as they wish or none at all if they prefer. There is no compulsory element to this and you are welcome to enjoy your usual style of Milestone visit. \nSome members may like to extend their stay over lunchtime as Milestone has facilities. Alternatively if you run out of time on the day you can arrange to meet up on another occasion. \nTHIS ACTIVITY IS ALL ABOUT HAVING FUN. A chance to show other members why you love your particular automobile and expand your knowledge of others. \nCome along\, join in\, have fun \nPlease Note: The weather is looking good! If this idea proves popular we will probably offer it again at our SEPTEMBER meet.

Close to the source of the mighty river\, this heroic and romantic valley joins the parishes of Stobo\, Dawyck and Drumelzier. John Buchan set some of his novels in this area. The gardens have many fine and enormous specimen trees from all over the world. The valley gardens present ever changing vistas of great variety as you walk and contrast with the woodland walks and sculpture trail.\nAt the time of our visit\, if we are lucky\, there will be swathes of Meconopsis\, the Himalayan blue poppy. The roads around the area offer a fine drive. We hope that you will come in your vintage or Classic auto but if necessary\, come in something more modern. \nTo book places please email me at chrisjbiggs@btinternet.com with number and names of those attending.
