Hi to you all

Hi to you all.

I saw this site in the car club profile in the latest Practical Classics, and joined up straight away.
My name is Wayne, I live in Upminster, Essex. But I do visit Broadstairs a lot. So hope the meet up with you some time. As you can see from my profile, I have a 1931 Austin Seven Swallow Saloon. I also have a 1933 Austin Seven type 65 sports (the name before they were called 'Nippy').

Bye for now,


Wayne.

Welcome to the site, enjoy your stay!

Are we in Practical Classics already then? Or do you get it early?

Car looks nice, our next meet is the 7th and then on Sunday the 12th we have our Christmas Cruise!

Hope to meet you soon!

Cheers, they told me it would be in the 1st of December, but I presume subscriptions get sent out earlier. I will pop down W.H.Smiths tomorrow.

Hi Wayne welcome to the forum, good to have you with us.
Love the Austin 7's , my dream classic. one day.......................

Where about in Upminster are you from Wayne, my family are from More Lane, in Cranham.

Look forward to seeing more pics of your Austins and meeting you at our December meet or on the cruise if your able to make it.

Tony

Hi Tony, small world! I actually live in Cranham, just off Front Lane. I always say I'm from Upminster, because no-one's ever heard of Cranham. Do you come from Cranham originally and are your family still here?

I'd love to come to one of your meetings, but not sure when I'm next in Broadstairs. We're snowed in at the moment.

It's great now that I've found this forum, as I'm always backwards and forwards to the lovely Broadstairs.

Wayne.

I really want to know what it says in Practical Classics about us?

~Lee

Lee, it says:

THANET CLASSICS

Thanet Classics was formed just four months ago, yet it already attracts up to 40 cars at each meeting. The club was founded by 18-year old enthusiast Lee Collier and serves the Thanet region. It meets on the first Tuesday of the month at the Red Arrows Club, Ramsgate, CT11 0QX.
All makes of cars over 25 years old are welcome. Surprisingly for such a young club, Thanet Classics has started organising its own events, the first being a Christmas Cruise on Sunday, December 12. All proceeds from the event will go to the Pilgrims Hospice, a charity providing specialist palliative care to people in east Kent. To support this new club visit www.thanetclassics.co.uk or call Lee on 07746 227385 for more details.


PHEW!! My fingers are aching now! Hopes this puts your mind at rest!

Cheers although I wish that they would include Dad and Tony in the founding bit, cause it wasn't/isn't all me by a LONG shot!

And I am sure I said 40 people not cars ha, but makes us sound good!

I don't, I was born in Margate, but my Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather all came from Cranham.
My Grandfather Built Moss Hall as it was called then, and later become Moor lane church, for the community to use.


Found some info here
CHAPTER 14. NOTABLE BUILDINGS AT CRANHAM
MOSS HALL

The modern development of the parish created a need for a social hall after the Second World War. The Ratepayers' Association constantly petitioned the Hornchurch UDC for this type of building from 1950 onwards, but without result. Eventually, Mr.A.J.Moss built the hall that bears his name, and rented it to the Ratepayers' at peppercorn rent. Due to the running expenses and the somewhat obscure location, the Ratepayers' withdrew in 1957. The hall is now owned and occupied by a non-conformist church.

About cranham

Thanks Tony, that's really interesting, I never knew that. My wife's aunt goes to Moor Lane church! Truly a small world. I'll have to take a picture of it and send it to you, as it looks today.

Oops, sorry folks, slightly off the topic of classic cars!

That's a shame, but it's still good publicity for the club. That's how I came across it and decided to join the forum.

Yeah, its great publicity for the club, just don't want people forgetting Dad and Tony as they do just as much as I do, its just that I like speaking to the mags and papers etc. Sorry Tony! Last time they spelt your name wrong and this time they forgot you

Glad that its at least got us one more member! Thanks for joining!

Wayne That would be brilliant, I came up about 4-5 years ago and took a few photos of the outside, sadly though we were unable to get inside to take photos.
I have a old photo of the inside on the opening day with all my family and friends.

As you say "what a small world"

Tony

Well, who knows, hopefully lots of other classic car enthusiasts will see the article and join in the fun.
