Upcoming Events
The Boughton Monchelsea Classic Car & Transport Show is on Sunday 6th July, arrival time should be between 9-00am and 11-00am. We should gather by around 10-00am and it will give us time to set up the display by the time the public arrive.
Have your display ticket ready and marshals will direct you to our stand. We need to remain in place until at least 4-00pm.
If you are not displaying your Alfa, why not come along anyway, and if you do, please visit the Alfa Romeo display. You can join us for our picnic!
Don't forget to let Jeff know if you would like to join us for the BBQ at 5pm on Sunday 3rd August at The Hook & Hatchet, Hucking
Jeff has received details of a fund raising Classic Car event, organised by Harris HospisCare. The date is Sunday 28th September and it starts and finishes at Penshurst Place Nr Tonbridge. The route is approx 100 miles, entry fee is £40 and you are expected to provide £60 of sponsorship. Jeff has more complete details for anyone who is interested.
Latest Update
We had a really excellent turn out for June's monthly meeting at 'The Three Horseshoes', Knockholt. Sixteen Alfas were present. The landlord is a keen car enthusiast and after inspecting all the Alfas, chose Marvin Fowler's GTV 1750 as the car he would most like to take home. He then presented Marvin with a certificate - well done Marvin!
Some members, including Mark Fuller - GTV Cup, and Paul Kempthorne - 156 GTA, were taking others for a spin in their cars - all were having great fun.
Many thanks to The Landlord, and to Doug Hodson for organising this for us, what a great evening.
Many thanks to Ali & Crippen Jarman for an excellent and testing Treasure Hunt on 22nd June, and congratulations to Mark & Helen Fuller who finished 1st. Well done also to Ray & Kate Skilling who were runners up. The weather was good and Lenham and Faversham were great for looking for clues.
We were really lucky with the weather at Bromley Pageant on Sunday 15th June and put on a good show with an excellent turn out of cars. Many thanks to Lee Moore for arranging this for us, and a big thankyou to the owners of all the Alfas on our stand.
Photos will appear here as soon as they can be sorted!

Any Interest?
Jeff now has a new batch of stickers displaying our section 'Logo', they measure 10 x 7 cm approx, price is £2-50 each (same as the last batch). Jeff can send these by post, but you would need to cover the cost of postage. There are also larger 20 x 15 cm versions (limited number), these would be an extra £1-50 each. Many thanks to Jonathan & Peter Francis for supplying these.
We will be running a photo/art/sculpture competition throughout this year. All entries should have an Alfa Romeo related theme. More details later, but in the meantime don't miss any opportunity to create your entry!
This is open to all, with a seperate prize for children.
If anyone is interested in arranging this year's BBQ, would they please contact Jeff. It is usually held about the 1st week in August, but any weekend around then would be OK, as long as it does not clash with other events.
Anyone interested in a visit to The Observatory Science Centre, Herstmonceux, East Sussex, (located within the grounds of Herstmonceux Castle) please let Jeff know. The date and time is to be arranged if there is enough interest. You can check out the website at www.the-observatory.org.
There is a possibility that we may arrange a 'Walking Treasure Hunt' around a town, more details later, but please let Jeff know if you would be interested.
