Have a good, warm run to all those heading out to Section Leader Nick Devonport’s Birthday Run which starts and finishes at Dover Transport Museum tomorrow.
As for Nick’s thoughts on this momentous occasion: “At the age of sixty, I have recently retired from what I laughingly call my career with Border Force and have handed back my handcuffs, much to Isabelle’s relief. It will be strange getting used to not getting up at silly o’clock for early shifts, not having to work nights and buying my own stationery but I hope to get to a few more runs in future and to see new areas of the country in the company of like-minded enthusiasts.”
Summer Camp 2017
Details for the section’s Summer Camp in July are yet to be finalised. We normally stay at the Kingsdown site which is beautifully situated and gives access to some great country lanes but I was hoping to show the faithful a different area this year. The Isle of Thanet, despite a reputation for kiss-me-quick hats and other less pleasant attributes, is pulling itself up by the bootstraps and there are some interesting places to visit. It is, however, impossible to get there from Kingsdown without encountering some pretty scary main roads and the local camp sites are a bit commercial and expensive. Watch this space!
Headcorn 2017
The Headcorn Aerodrome Rally will be 23-24 September 2017.
More details for both runs will be added to the club Events Calendar in Buzzing and on the website
