We are fast approaching the next Stoneleigh spares day where the Triple-M Register will have a presence on the same site as last year - stand 13 in Hall 3.
We will have two cars on display, one a very historic car, and will also have a library stock to sell. As usual it would be nice if we could have some volunteers to assist in manning the stand.
Again as last year it would be nice if members used to stand as a meeting point, and we could also meet at say 12.30?
I look forward to meeting everyone

George, I hope to come along this year, but morning only. Happy to man the stand for a while, as long as I get a chance explore other stands!
Regards,
Graham

Many thanks to everybody who came along to the support the MG/Tri**ph spares day at Stoneleigh today. There was a great gathering of people at the Triple-M stand, which was also graced by two cars: Andy King's Cream Cracker fresh from its track day at Goodwood on Saturday and the splendid NB 4-seater supplied by Barry Walker.
The Register stand did very good business and we also made use of the opportunity to show many of our visitors the workings of the new register database. You'll be hearing more about that in the coming weeks!

Dick, Enjoyed the day, met some very nice people and one not so nice..I am not allowed to say any more !! I did try to speak to you at the stand but always were surrounded..you are very popular!
My thanks to Charlie Ash for the offer of the free J front axle which he gave me today at the Show.
I will not say any more about the German character..

Hi Chris, sorry to hear this.
I don't know which German character you refer to, but I do know there was one German MMM owner there who's wife I believe is ill in hospital, and so may of been somewhat out of character compared to normal. :(
Great MMM display / club stand today

Hello Colin, I am very sure that this was not the chap whose wife was in hospital and I hope she gets on well. I sympathise as I was in hospital also part of Saturday having a blood change ( hopefully my last ) , although I felt very ' drained ' I did try to enjoy the day. [:I

Greg, Bear in mind that Chris has his own problems at present, which might make him see and hear things in slightly different manner to the usual. I would add that I know many German (and other overseas members including the dreaded clog wearers) and without exception, they are all splendid people. All a great asset to our common love of MMM cars.

There is no ' silly drama ' element. Its true I attended the show feeling quite unwell after a day in hospital on Saturday and a 150 mile journey to the show yesterday. Everyone I met, some for the first time were excellent and its good to meet up with Chris Blood, Jamie D. of S & V, Charlie Ash, Rich Hardy, Peter Green and others. The German chap was not unfriendly or rude, quite the reverse, just a little matter of description which was not as advertised.

Thanks Greg, No harm done, I have a resolution with the German chap, he is a decent sort and we have an amicable agreement. Hopefully we will meet up Greg, or if you are in Brighton anytime call by...I am known for my huge cups of tea.

The show was a great success for the Register in that we had a lot of members, both from the UK and Overseas, visiting the stand coupled with a good level of sales from the Library stock on display - the takings were just over £900.
Thanks are due to our volunteer helpers all of whom were kept busy!
One visitor was Foz, it was great to see him in such good spirits. He had a mitten on his injured hand; needless to say it had a rat image sewn onto it!  He demonstrated that he had regained a lot of movement in both arm and hand.
Thanks are also due to Andy and Angie King for lending us their Cream Cracker PB JB7521, and to Barry Walker for letting us display the lovely 4 seat NB he currently has for sale.
The only downside was that some idiot pinched the sample metal car badge we had on display.
We plan to attend again in 2017 on the same stand 13 in Hall 3.
I attach three photos taken just before the show opened, Chairman Dick Morbey looks relaxed and ready for the onslaught!
