JUNE 1977.
DORSET AUSTIN 7 CLUB
Secretarial. June being the
start of the rally season proper I have listed below forthcoming events for
this month & next which seem interesting for the 7 owner. Please try and
support as many as possible-especially showing the flag at the Breamore House
Rally at which we are organising a separate display of 7s. Help will also be needed on the
Day. Please contact me, if
you can.
Please also make a note in
your diaries AUGUST 21st - The Wimborne & Ferndown Round Tables
are organising an Air Day at Canford
Magna. It includes sky
divers, hot air balloons, stunt flying, and various other events. We have been
asked to organise a Vintage & Classic Car Display on site! It sounds an
extremely exciting day with also the added incentive of helping the club.
(Bernard typed the first
two paragraphs, but his progress was so slow I took pity on him and took over.

The weekend near Swanage is
still possibly going ahead. It is on the 18- 19th June - contact John Page,
Christchurch 73207, for details. If it’s cancelled, we will have a road run on
Sunday 19th June - I will add separate details if this is going ahead.
I hope to have a few more
entry forms for Beaulieu Rally on Clubnight. Anyone who would like to go in
convoy please let me know.
There is no "Spotlight
On" this month as nobody has given me details about themselves!
Next Club Night 16th June Meet at Nags Head,
Ringwood. Road run to Sir Walter Tyrell near Rufus Stone, Cadnam, with possibly
a treasure hunt thrown in for good measure. Please try to get to the Nags Head
