July Report - 2025

Lincolnshire Group – July Report 2025

As I write this report I have a busy time ahead. BBQ next Saturday followed by the

Cumbria Run and then off to Spain for all of August in the Austin 12 Eton - non-stop

Austineering fun!!!!

I am now able to inform you that we have a new Webmistress namely, Margaret Clarke.

Brenda has finally retired after many years of sterling service for the Club. In the early

years we were very grateful to utilise part of a website hosted by Ed Davies son. Albeit

there were times when Brenda was pulling her hair out trying to up load photos etc,

However, now is the time to move on and we have a new website which has just gone

“live’:-

It will be much easier to upload photos and video. Also, members can comment on events

etc. The old website will still be there with a link to our new website. I look forward to it

going from strength to strength.

As you can see below we have a full calendar for September, get these dates in your

Austin diary now.

Dunholme Lodge

As per previous years the gardens were spectacular & in full bloom. The WW2 museum

exhibitions are always awe inspiring too. Eight members arrived in their Austin's

including new members Charles Lyford and his wife who have moved up from Dorset,

also David Lasham driving his brothers Austin Seven. They were made welcome and

have had their email addresses added to the Mailchimp list. I am sure we will be seeing

more of them in the future. Numbers were down because a goodly number of Lincs Group members were attending the National event at Beaulieu.

Minster Garage, Southwell – Joint Meet

Ten Austin's is evidence and a goodly number of Midland & Sheffield members swelling

the ranks of the Lincolnshire Group. Sam made us most welcome with free tea & coffee.

It has to be said Sue Rowlands failed to get her leg over! { In the Wragg Racer }. Thanks go

to Ben Gadsby for arranging the visit as an alternative to our annual Wellow village.
