Hi All
I am arranging a club stand at Pateley bridge again this year for the Northern National show, if you wish to attend please let me know, the show itself is on Sunday 12th August and is £5 per person (£4.25 in advance if enough want to pre book) there is also a run on the Saturday morning for those who would be staying the weekend, which is very popular, so booking accommodation needs to be done very early, camping is available on site with a bbq on Saturday night, (bring your own food),
Regards

Hi All
Just to say the physical shop [ not the business ] will close during the
first week of December . The phone number etc all remains the same and local
customers collect pre paid parts from the cafe in the old workshop .
I the springtime I am hoping to have regular Thursday Classic Car coffee
mornings down there ] .. its something many of my local customers are keen
on as most of them are retired etc . It should be a great opportunity for me
& local classic car drivers to all keep in touch as well as being a good
regular time for customers to pick up order and sort out queries etc .
Can you just conform the advert or a t least this announcement will be made
in the next MGN newsletter ?
A lot of customers have already been asking me about next year's car shop -
which I am still very keen to support - is there any update on this [ date
/ venue etc ] ?
Best Wishes
Andy

SPORTSCAR SUPPLIES TRIUMPH & MG SPARES
To all my customers :
In December our counter facility & shop in Swalwell will be closing permanently and the space taken over by new tenants .
The business will continue & concentrate on mail order & on-line selling . The range of available items to buy on line through our web site will significantly increase .
Orders may still be placed using our existing telephone number, e mail & the web site .
Pre paid orders can be collected from the café in our old workshop but most orders will be sent by post or carrier.
Local trader / garages - delivery arrangements remain the same as we have now .
We will be able to process orders on all weekdays and will be contactable on line 7 days a week!
Very much hoping to attend more local shows in 2018 & hope to have regular coffee mornings / meet ups in the café here in Swalwell and keep in touch with all local customers . You can also contact me & get the latest news via our Face book pages.
A very big genuine THANK YOU to all local customers for your business & encouragement over the last 34 years and looking forward to your continued support into 2018 & beyond .
Best Regards

A message from John Mitchell
My mini fleet (!) of old vehicles (four) all have reproduction tax discs displaying the very first 12-month disc each would have been given when new.
There are several organisations providing this service and I used Creative Tax Discs who have been excellent. I have attached their leaflet which you may wish to include in your Newsletter but fully understand if too large or inappropriate.The application form should be completed carefully to ensure the correct expiry date of the disc,. i.e.12 months after the vehicle was first registered.
Hope this is helpful.
Kind regards,John (Mitchell)
