Coalville Car Club
Weekly Bulletin No: 151 - 21st
April 2009
We had a great
turnout for the AGM & Awards at the New Inn last week. Thanks to all who
turned up, and to Tina for the Buffet, she was most disappointed Chris didn’t take his usual doggy
bag, as she had bought some large ones specially. Rumour has it that there will be a bag in the freezer next time you are there
Chris.

Graham competed on the Bulldog International Rally in Wales on March 28th
