Butterworth Cup (Most improved
car over the last 12 months) Winner:
Barry
Weatherhead 1914 Rhyl
Barry
won the cup, as a result of a magnificent repaint in original colour scheme of his car. Barry had
previously won the same cup, with the same car, for carrying out the same job in 1970. So in
41 years time, at the 2052 event, I expect Barry to win the cup again!

Sunday morning started dry, for the shorter drive to The Blue
Lias at Stockton, where a coffee was enjoyed sitting in the sunshine by the Canal. Unfortunately, by lunchtime,
the weather quickly turned to heavy showers, and all to quickly it was time to say our farewells for another year.

The
2011 event has proved to be one of the most successful to date, with a record number of entrants, good weather, an excellent
hotel base, and glorious motoring. Friday afternoon saw entrants arriving from all parts of
the Country, as far south as Tunbridge Wells in Kent, and as far north as Wakefield in West Yorkshire. We
even had a member who had flown from Vienna to Heathrow, picked up a hire car, at the airport to join us for the weekend.
Making a welcome re-appearance was the 1910
12 H.P. model J Landaulette, that is under restoration by John Blanckley. Two members were attending
their first Standard Register event, Conan Lewis with his 1924 Kenilworth and Graham Wilman with the ex Bill Boddy 1929 Teignmouth.
I hope that they both enjoyed their weekend with us, and will become regular attendees. Saturday
morning was bright, and the car park was soon a hive of activity, as cars prepared to depart on the morning run.
This scenic drive went in a southeasterly direction to the lunchtime stop of The Green Man at Lavendon, Buckinghamshire.
After a excellent leisurely buffet lunch, the cars were then ready to tackle the afternoon drive back to the hotel,
with the option of visiting the Canal Museum at Stoke Bruerne and also a Farm Shop/craft centre, that serves excellent cream
teas.
