I'm told that the branch has dissolved - I asked Rosie Hamilton about this before but will try again today. I'd like to start up a Coventry and Warwickshire branch

The currently isn't a branch in Coventry, your local branches are either Rugby or Nuneaton (unless of course Ray starts something up).

Righto Simba and Phill (and anyone else Coventry / Warwickshire)
I'm waiting on a call back from John Morris to find out what's what regarding the coventry and district branch. According to our area rep, they've not been officially dissolved.
If they've no meeting in the pipeline for December then I'll be organising one myself.
Where are you 2 guys located? I may be able to get another recruit from Wellesbourne so would probably suggest Leamington - however I'm flexible on that.
Watch this space!

Hi all.
I've just spoke with John Morris - aparently the meetings are last wednesday of the month - so we just missed one, but so did he.
Next one clashes with Christmas so the one after would be end of January.
Therefore to avoid a 2 month delay we'll be having one in December...
My preference is 11th December unless people can't make it (I can't do Tuesdays and Wednesdays). Is the date ok and if so who's up for it?

OK all - I'm just back from the 'venue' and we're booked in
We will be meeting at 7pm on Thursday 11th December at 'The Windmill' on Tachbrook Road, Leamington Spa. (For those with satnav adiction, it's CV31 3DD). As it's Christmas period I really didn't want to name it before checking, in case they were fully booked with a Christmas party!
It's a big white pub, right on the road with carpark alongside.
The pub has a bar and lounge/restaurant. The lounge/restaurant is called 'Jack Spratts' and we have a table (booked in the name of 'Ray') - should be to the right of the door as you go in.
There should be about 7 of us (maybe a few more?) which is not a bad turn out for 1 week's notice and no advertising in the club mag!
I expect most people will want to eat before arriving but for those who don't, food is available until 9pm. The pub food has always been good and very good value for money whenever I've eaten there. Tea/coffee and soft drinks readily available, and of course a nice pint if you prefer.
If you have a vague idea of how to get around Leamington, Tachbrook road starts at the traffic lights by the train station. If you head south (away from town) the pub is on the left, after less than a mile. If you get to a sign saying 'Whitnash' then you've gone a few metres too far.
For anyone else, here's a link to a map:

As discussed in December, Coventry branch are still meeting but keen to get a new influx. Us Warwickshire lot are well placed to meet in Kenilworth - therefore it's a plan to meet on the 3rd Thursday of March in Kenilworth making a joint meeting with the remaining Cov members - hopefully in sufficient numbers to make an good impact.
Please spread the word to all Minor owners within travelling distance!
At some point the Town and Country show (Stoneleigh in August) needs to be discussed...
Sorry for any Typos - I'm currently anebriated and soon to be married
Venue should be announced some time in March - when I'm back from honeymoon!
I've never managed to make a sticky - so if someone manages it for me I would be greatful - it can be non stickied after March...
No sooner said ........
Have a really good day tomorrow Ray. A 'Minor Hitch' ? 
Bill.

Amongst rumours or murmurings that our small club has disappeared I would like to confirm that we are and have been very much alive.
Although numbers did dwindle and due to health and possibly I.T. knowledge our branch has not been regularly giving details on this forum. We have however had article's published in Minor Matters and we're trying to attract new members from all around the Coventry and District area.
We have enthusiasm and an easy atmosphere with, like many branches and members a desire to keep the 'Minor' motoring. We meet on the last Wednesday of the month.
Those of you who may read this and interested in coming to one of our meeting please contact me and I'll gladly reply.
