The event is planned as follows.

1 Meet at Nutley Sports & Prestige Centre at 10:30 am. There is limited parking in front of garage but the main parking is directly opposite garage. The garage is located on the main A22 in the middle of Nutley Village TN22 3NN.

Mathew Eade will offer coffee / Tea and Pastries for members first. Please look around the cars in the garage. Mathew will then give a short presentation on his business and the classic car market. He would then like to progress to a Q&A session. We will leave Nutley at 11.30am.

2 We will then drive to Mathews home at Wych Cross ( in convoy about 3 miles). His home is located in a renovated barn on a farm and there is parking for 20/21 cars on the driveway. Mathew will show us his private collection.

3 We then depart at about 12.30 to drive for lunch at:

Coolings Garden Centre

Coleman’s Hatch Rd,

Wych Cross

RH185 JW

They have provided a special parking area for us and a lunch area in their cafe.

There is a compromise for the additional numbers. A more limited menu is on offer  and I need you to confirm your choices. Our numbers combined with normal customers will put their restaurant staff under considerable pressure. Just need to keep it simple.

Menu Choices

A  Ploughman’s lunch with Ham, Cheddar,

Stilton with Salad, pickled onions, coleslaw, crisps and crusty roll.

B Quiche of the day with salad, crisps and coleslaw ( veg option available)

C Jacket Potato with cheese, beans or tuna.

D Toasties (variety ). They can only cope with a few of these. They are cheese & tomato, cheese & ham, tuna with melted cheese, brie & cranberry.

They have a small number of staff and can cope with a few other selections like sandwiches. They have cakes and normal drinks menu.

Let me know your choice so they can prepare meals in advance. Its a lovely garden setting and you will enjoy the views, plants and other sale items.

Please let me have your choices by July 1st.
