SUMMARY:Italian Night Out - Monte Cassino Restaurant\, Melrose.
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow Club members for an Italian meal at the stylish “Monte Cassino” in Melrose. This family run and traditional restaurant is housed in the former Melrose Railway Station buildings and they have a very comprehensive menu.\nOrders will be taken and paid for individually on the night so you can order as many courses as you wish or keep it simple if you prefer a smaller meal. The establishment is being very kind to us and flexible over numbers but I do need to be in a position to confirm numbers with them by a week before the event. \nPlease book places with me by email : chrisjbiggs@btinternet.com \nDeadline is Wednesday 15th March ! \nOf course we don’t mind what you drive to the event in but bragging rights will definitely be earned by anyone in an Italian car or one with Italian connections. So if you have a Lancia or maybe an ‘Italian Job’ Mini we will all be impressed! \nThe restaurant menu can be found on their website – \nmontecassinorestaurant.co.uk \nBOOK YOUR PLACES SOON. \n

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.
