​North Cumbria & the Borders Region Report February 2019
 
We had a great time at our 2018 Christmas Party - all the regulars from across the Cumbria and the Borders (and a few from further afield) met up at for the final region event of the year. We enjoyed good food, good music and good company. I’m told that several of our number also enjoyed a drink or two, but all made it unscathed to breakfast the next morning, clear eyed and full of the joys of Christmas!
 
 Huge thanks to Linda for all her hard work organising things and to the staff at the Hundith Hill Hotel for an excellent event.
 
Just a short report this month but I’ve spent a bit of time updating the region website with my last few Sprint reports, photos from our final runs of 2018  and the first draft of the 2019 event calendar. Please pay us a visit at www.tvrcc-northcumbria.co.uk for the latest news from the region.
 
Go-Karting at West Cumbria Indoor Karting in Maryport will be coming up this month - get in touch if you want to join us as there are a few spaces left. Last year’s event was great fun, Neil and his boys are venturing down again from north of the border - they’ll take some beating!
 
All the best

North Cumbria & the Borders Region Report January 2019
 
The new year is starting to shape up well with potential for a couple of road trips as well as our regular selection of weekend runs and car shows making an appearance on the event calendar.
A few of our number are interested in a trip to the Isle of Man in September - the more the merrier as far as I’m concerned so if anyone would like to join in, drop me an email.
It's a little quieter on the roads at this time of year as a few cars are hibernating or receiving some TLC but many of our members enjoy year-round TVR motoring (take a bow Gordon and Piers - to name but two!)
 
I enjoyed a great weekend down at the NEC Classic Motor Show at the end of the year. As usual I was supporting the Sporting Bears, raising money for several children’s charities by offering Dream Rides - TVRs are always a popular choice but the Cobra was doing well! The TVRCC stand was excellent as always, great to see some familiar faces and beautiful cars. 
 
We had an interesting visitor to the Dream Rides garage - he didn’t say much but I could tell he is a big TVR fan! .
 
A couple of very nice historic TVRs went to auction up here at Penrith recently; a red Tuscan registration HLU71K a yellow Taimar registration BVY 2R. If anyone knows the cars (pictured below) and is able to cast some light on their history please get in touch.
 
Finally - please check out the region website for details of our regular club nights at the Hundith Hill Hotel near Cockermouth. New members, visitors and the simply curious are all welcome. We’re still putting the finishing touches to the 2019 calendar so any ideas for club events will be gratefully received.
 
All the best
