Well not much more for me to add other than the nominations for best crew member of the year are..................................
Only joking as all the crew have their individual skills and as Steve has said already we compliment each other well and not much beats us collectively and long may it continue, only sorry that a few members go away with their jobs not completed, normally they can be carried over to the following Nano meet which is usually a month away but of course next one now will be March 2020 and we will publish the dates asap. We have had great support this year from crew, campers, owners,management of the Four Ashes and the weather and we will try and order the same in 2020, one thing for sure the politicians will still be arguing over Brexit well into next year, saw a great quote from Margaret Thatcher recently which said that politicians are like baby's nappies, they need changing regularly and for the same reasons. I would like to sign off by saying a massive thank you to everyone who has attended one or more of our meets in 2019. whether crew, regular visitors or new owners, many people travel long distances to attend and that is always appreciated, can I give a special mention to Mick who arranges the website hosting for us and sorts out any technical issues we may suffer from time to time :comp: it has been a pleasure organising the meets this year and I will be speaking to the owner of the Four Ashes to sound him out for using this venue next year and will post back what he says on here. See you all in 2020 and in the meantime have a great Xmas and New Year when the time comes :thumb: :union:

After 2 years being not able to come to a Nano, I finally made it and thank you to Artic and Scott for finally releasing the jammed rear seat – then had a real struggle to get it back in position. On Artic's advice I got a cheap broom handle from Wilko today for £1.50 ready to cut to length to get those pesky seat squab lock bars locked. Started with a carpet clean up finding a few more coins along the way then tackled the seat. I removed the rags behind the seat back and managed this time with the help of a neighbour to get locked both ends, then also the seat itself, all locked tight. Best thing was the broom handle was not needed, but maybe another time of course!
The other problem of the rear blind is ongoing, as it will go up but not down. I'll try adjusting the screws mentioned to move it over a little. However, off to Cornwall tomorrow for a few days, so it will have to wait. Good to chat and see some beautiful other cars. Weather not too bad either! Until hopefully next year. Ray

Regarding the blind it may need a strip down as I think the mechanisms may have moved, but you could try a bit of furniture polish on the top runner were the two arms go has been known to work!

Ringing DT the next morning it had not been touched, so had to arrange a hire car extension. Finally late afternoon they rang and it was done. Flew over to Falmouth from Camborne handed car hire back which cost £110 and then walked to DT to collect car. They do claim to fit quality parts and said they had fitted a LUK cylinder, but a plastic one with a neoprene pipe as he said metal ones are not made. (Obviously untrue). I was not in the position to say or do anything about it. That cost £150 for the part, some DOT4 fluid, £49 labour plus VAT came to £327 (plus the car hire £110) so Cornwall was all an expensive visit. However, it works if a bit squeaky. Came back Friday night and tried the Cruise control which Jules last year got going for me only to find it no longer works! They of course have disturbed the switch and I know the master is in a pig of a place to get to, but it's more annoyance. Hopefully the replacement master will continue to work for a good few miles. Fingers crossed! Ray
