Alrewas Radio Update 21/7/13

So it has been 2 days since our last catch up, and since then, well not too much has happened. Apart from a very own Dan Ruttley came back from swanning around on holiday in Sicily to join us for Alrewas Radio!

Also, there was so very special advertising done at the Alrewas Show yesterday: Lucy The Moggy Minor became The Alrewas Radio Car, a proud advertisement in the vintage classics parade and a picture to hopefully be put into the Lichfield Mercury this week as advertising!

Here is a  picture of me and my sister posing with here next to the ring:

In addition to this you can just about make out the new #AlrewasRadio fashion that I am wearing, The Alrewas Radio T-Shirt, prepped and ready to go for this coming wednesday.

So on that note, make sure you are there, listening, and actively supporting your favourite local radio station this week, as we go live again for the first time again this year. This is something that we are all really excited about and I hope that it goes really well!

Still there is so much to do though, so I better get cracking.

July/ August Minor Matters Has Arrived!

When the post came through the letterbox this morning I was very excited to see that the July/ August edition of the Morris Minor Owners Club Bimonthly magasine has been issued!

I am especially excited for this issue for 2 reasons. Firstly the National Rally at Cornbury Park took place the other weekend and the magasine was packed full of stories and reviews from that, which were really great to read and relive the moment.

Also, as happens every year, a group of Morris Minor owners hop on a ferry across the channel and drive round France for a week. This is something which always catches my attention and is something that I would really like to do next year, so I was looking forward to reading all about it this year, to get excited for next and try and gain some sneaky peaks at where they might be staying next year.

This is something that has become a well established tradition within the owners club and is something that is really a social highlight of the Owners Club calender. This, to ordinary folk, really will epitomise their distaste for classic car owners: Boring, old and sad. True, ture and true.

But I am proud to call myself one, not least because it is a sense of belonging that owning a classic car brings. There are not many times these days when another motorist will stop and help you if you are broken down, but Morris Minor Owners always do that. It is a recognised thing from one owner to another to pip the horn and wave like a mad-man, or maybe in a slightly more toned down way if there is a girfriend present in the car, and it is something which we call all relate to other people with.

It may seem all weird and creepy and like an old man's club, but really, it is just the same as any football club or social event that happens down the pub. And it is for that reason that I love owning a Morris Minor. Not only can I take pride in what I drive, but I can be part of something that I enjoy. And that is the fun of the Minor.

Thanks for reading!
