The main aim of CA7C is to encourage members to drive their 'Sevens' whenever
possible, even throughout the winter months when, surprisingly, quite a few
members do enjoy being out and about on the colder winter-time runs. However, we do draw the
line on the very wettest of days as there is no point driving in bad weather
with the non-optional water entry around the ill-fitting windows and doors!
Mostly we are able to enjoy warm, sunny days with Cornwall's splendid inland and
coastal scenery at its best whatever the season of the year.
By this time, the car park had filled up markedly, so our Sevens were no longer in neat groups as at the start but parked haphazardly. A very good meal rounded the day off for many of us. We may just have to keep practising the convoy rules though.
Wednesday Wander - 25 October
A record thirteen cars met at Morrison's, Pool for a wander through the lanes to Olde Penny’s Tea Room for refreshments.
Wednesday Wander - 4 October
Ten cars assembled at Morrison’s, Pool and had an interesting run around the back of the Camborne area, ending at Trevaskis Farm for cakes. It was good to see the recently-finished and sign-written Little Green 1934 AVH Van. Many of the roads and lanes we covered were completely new to me: a great achievement for two new members who were run leaders.
Wet Wednesday Wander
On a sodden Wednesday in September three hardy little cars paddled out
to meet at Carnon Downs Garden Centre. We lingered over a coffee until
the rain stopped and took an extremely short run to have lunch at Linden
Hey in Penelewey.

Society Country Fair - 18-20 August
The weather was horrible to start on the Saturday morning, heavy rain
and howling wind. Rescuing the tent and making repairs to the broken
poles was the first order of the day. The best roadside repair was made
with a tent peg and bailer twine…! Once everything was back to
normal, the sun came out. There was plenty of interest in our
Sevens over the three days - the usual questions on leaded fuel, spares,
are you allowed to drive them were answered diplomatically.
