Just a quick reminder – this month’s Club Meeting (26th March) will be preceded by a talk on electric vehicles (EVs) by Simon Hart who’s been owning/driving them since 2017.

The forecasts were offering an unusually dry morning with rain around lunchtime so it was surprising that only nine of the 46 OGIL WhatsApp group members turned up at ToP. Helston Boating Lake was the agreed destination, posted on the WhatsApp group so others could find us, which two others did. A phone call to the café ensured that a table was ready for us when we arrived. After Wendron I led the group on something of an adventure through […] Read More
