DESCRIPTION:Here is an update to the information around the meetings the Midlands area hold at Caffeine end Machine.  This meeting was established to provide an opportunity for members to meet up and chat and hopefully bring their cars to share the passion of all things Bristol related.  With a new year I thought we should ring some changes so the day will be changing to Wednesday with the usual meeting time of lunchtime until we run out of gas.  I believe this suits everyone and I hope the great turnouts continue.  Of course the meeting is open to all and I hope some members from the East of England and South Central regions will be able to make the gathering over the summer. \nDates are \n19th February \n16th April \n18th June \n13th August \n24th September \n19th November \nSo please get the dates in your diary and join us for a chat and give everyone a chance to admire your car.

SUMMARY:Southport Classic & Speed 2025 Provisional Dates and Other Motor Sports
DESCRIPTION:The Aintree Circuit Club have announced provisional dates of 13th and 14th September 2025 for an expanded two-day motor sprinting event. Readers will see that these dates clash with the dates for the Goodwood Revival meeting and it seems unlikely that the Duke of Richmond and Gordon will see the clear (!) errors in his timetabling. Further news is awaited. \nThere is a small group of BODA members who are interested in some form of competitive motor sport\, be that sprinting\, hill-climbs\, track days and so on. If a suitable event might be found and a BODA group involved it might be arranged to award The Anthony Crook Memorial Trophy at that event. Considering the significance of Southport to Tony Crook and therefore the Bristol cars story it would be a shame though to have to break the link.

SUMMARY:Lytham Hall's Autumn Classic Vehicle Show
DESCRIPTION:The show will be open to all Classic Vehicle owners and we are very deliberately interpreting the term “Classic” loosely. Last year we had cars ranging from Pre-1930 vintage cars to modern supercars\, from AC’s to Wolseleys.\nLytham Hall is the finest Georgian House in Lancashire – once the ancestral home of the colourful Clifton family – and has featured on “Antiques Road Show”. It is set in 80 acres of parkland about 1 mile from the town centre of Lytham itself. There are three floors with over twenty rooms\, providing an insight into a fascinating past\, which can be explore at your own pace.\nWe are told there will be ample on-site catering facilities and close proximity to the town centre offers the opportunity to enjoy all that “The Opal of the West” has to offer. For those wishing to make a weekend of it\, there are numerous shops\, restaurants\, cafes and hotels nearby. \nThe show will be open to all eligible cars on a first-come first-served basis. Trade Stands will be in attendance.\nThe entry cost is a very reasonable £5 per car.\nThis cost covers show entry for the vehicle\, driver and passengers – and includes a voucher allowing you to purchase two discounted tickets for hall entrance at £5 per person – normal price £9.50.\nFor more information\, please contact Kevin Roberts\, Event Organiser for the BODA North West region (twostrokecharlie@hotmail.com

SUMMARY:Members of BODA are invited to the BOC Classic Car Summer BBQ
DESCRIPTION:Nick and Sarah Allen have again kindly offered us the use of their wonderful courtyard home for a CLASSIC CAR SUMMER BBQ on Sunday 24th August from 12.30pm at Watershed\, Smock Alley\, West Chiltington\, Pulborough\, West Sussex. RH20 2QX.  This is the 13th gathering they’ve hosted at Watershed over the August bank holiday weekend for Bristol and Bristol engined cars. \nWe would really prefer people come in their Bristol’s or other classic machinery and drive them right up to the house as we will park them all together where possible. \nThere are a number of local hostelries / BnB’s in the immediate locality for those who wish to stay overnight on the Saturday and /or Sunday nights\, and for those wishing to stay on the evening of Saturday 23rd there will be a table organised at The White Lion Inn\, Thakeham for dinner. This will need to be booked well in advance so please confirm you’d like a place ASAP. A deposit will be required and the menu is to follow. \nThe proposed Sunday BBQ menu will be: \nStarter: \nSarah’s home grown garden salad with either baked goats cheese or smoked salmon with a lemon/vinaigrette dressing accompanied by a glass of champagne. \nMain course: \nBBQ Rolled Rib of Beef and “jerk” chicken with potato mayonnaise and seasonal vegetables. (Vegetarian option available on request) \nPudding: \nFresh fruit salad with cream \nAssorted cheese board with Nick’s own home made sourdough bread. \nThere will be appropriate wines from The Wine Society\, beer\, orange juice and mineral water. \nThis will be a dog friendly event. \nPs – Advance warning ——Quite a few wedding venues have sprung up locally so anyone planning to stay either the Saturday or Sunday nights would be well advise to book sooner rather than later ! \nNick and Sarah are both designer/artists who work on large scale projects from their home. \nSunday 24th August – BBQ lunch at Watershed followed by supper for late night revelers (Sausages\, cheese\, wine or beer)  (£65.00 per person or £55.00 if not staying late) \nWe have managed to keep the prices the same as last year. The organisers feel that they would enjoy the event better if they didn’t have to do all the work themselves so we are employing a couple of local people to help serve and wash up etc. \nThe BBQ on Sunday will start as usual about 12.30 and continue with the supper until the last stragglers have left! \nPayment must be made in advance to: \nLloyds Bank \nSort code: 30-98-71\nAccount No: 00088818\nAccount: BOC Trips \nAny cheques made payable to BOC Trips to Liz Alford. \nNumbers for this event are strictly limited so please let me know if you want to come ASAP \nPlease advise if you will be coming to by emailing me at Rodney@rodneywatney.co.uk AND Liz Alford at liz@alford.cc \nPlease email or phone me with any queries. \nMy mobile phone number is 07973 214633 \nBest wishes \nRodney Watney \nEvents Co-Ordinator \nSE Area BOC

SUMMARY:AINTREE RACECOURSE GRAND PRIX CIRCUIT LAPS AND DINNER
DESCRIPTION:To mark 70 years since the first win of a British Grand Prix by a British man\, Stirling Moss\, at Aintree on 16th July 1955. This was also Stirling’s first ever Grand Prix win. Stirling drove a Mercedes W196\, narrowly and controversially beating his teammate Fangio into second place. Students of history will know this race was the last for the Mercedes Team for over 30 years coming as it did straight after the disaster at Le-Mans in June. To mark the event the Aintree Circuit Club have invited BODA to take part in the commemorations. We will be permitted parade laps of the (still intact) circuit before enjoying a private dinner in the circuit facilities\, better known these days for horse racing.\nFor those travelling some distance there are plenty of hotels nearby to suit all budgets. You could make a weekend of it and see some of Liverpool’s many tourist attractions.\nExpected timings are:\n17:30 – Guests Arrival at Aintree Circuit\nSign on/wristbands/decals…drinks reception.\n17:45 – Drivers briefing for race car demo drivers\n18:00 – 18:40 RACE CAR PARADES\nPeriod and contemporary race car demonstrations on the Historic Grand Prix Circuit using the start/finish straight.\n18:45 – Drivers briefing for parade cars lapping full GP Circuit\n19:00 – 19:45 ROAD CAR PARADES\n19:00 – Cars line up on start grid in front of stands followed by controlled laps of full GP circuit. Grid order determined by age of cars\n19:45 – GP Circuit closes for laps.\nDrivers/Guests return to Princess Royal Suite at Aintree overlooking the race circuit\n20:15 – 3 course dinner served – Formal entrance by The Mayor of Sefton as Special Guest. \nThe Aintree Circuit Club are catering for around 100 hundred guests/participants. We are hoping BODA can take one or two tables at the event. This is an entirely private event\, there is no public admission.\nThe ticket price is £99 per participant (a driver plus guest would require two tickets) to attend the event and the opportunity to drive the full Grand Prix circuit plus the reception and private dinner. Dress code will be smart casual or lounge suits.\nAll Bristol cars are welcome but If anyone has a 1955 Bristol or Bristol engined car especially race cars these will be given the highest priority.\nThe Aintree Circuit Club are running the event under a Motorsport UK Permit (Touring Assembly/Procession for Historical Purposes).\nPlease can you now confirm with Michael Barton and we can then confirm payment and tickets.

SUMMARY:BRDC Silverstone lunch Saturday 5th April 2025
DESCRIPTION:This event is fully booked so just for information \nWarwick Banks is hosting a private lunch for BODA members and other Bristol car owners. It will be held at the BRDC Clubhouse\, Silverstone on Saturday 5th April 2025. \nThis follows the similar events over the past five years\, commemorating 100 years since the birth of Tony Crook (2020)\, the launch of “Aero-Dynamic”\, by Simon Charlesworth in 2022\, 2023’s event marking 70 years since the Bristol 403 and 404 were launched and last year when we marked 70 years of the 405. \nAt the London Motor Show of 1975 Bristol announced the launch of the 412 which went on to be the basis for the 412S2\, the Beaufort and of course the mighty Beaufighter. The 412 was the first production convertible since the 405 and\, although the looks didn’t appeal to all\, the basic design by Zagato was to serve Bristol over the next 18 years and about 100 cars were produced. Those owners who know about the cars and understand the design are generally very loyal to the model. 20 plus years ownership periods are frequent. The versatility of the convertible\, hard top options\, performance and the improved handling from earlier cars are much appreciated by their owners.

SUMMARY:Caffeine & Machine Gatherings – 12 November
DESCRIPTION:Caffeine & Machine is an eatery just south of Stratford which is described as the Ace Cafe of the Midlands.  It has a great reputation as a place to go with your car. Whilst the venue is immensely popular\, and getting in at the weekend requires a pre-booked ticket\, these Tuesday gatherings will not require advance reservations. Arrangements are informal\, with vehicles normally arriving in the early afternoon so that owners can meet up for lunch.  \nIt will be helpful if those planning to attend can let Mike Hallissey know in advance.
