ok Mike thanks for the information. He was an active member back in the late 70's early 80's though, how time flies

Hi Rasher & welcome 

I don't think I know your Dad, i'm pretty useless at remembering names !
I'll PM you the email addy of our editor Mike Daley.
I'm sure he would put an appeal in the Club newsletter if you ask nicely or you could always pop along to one of our meetings 

Cheers

my dad is Claude James Hayes, he is still a member of the CVEC but hasnt been an active one for many years.
I wondered if anyone had any photos of my dad and his J2???

Well, I think it went ok on the day

Hi Alistair
Welcome to the forum  , we have just finished our events for 2008 but next year should be good as its our 50th anniversary and we have plenty of plans and runs organised.

Hi Alastair

Glad that you popped in 

The CVEC is celebrating it's 50th year in 2009, so there will be lots going on.
I'll keep you updated.

Hello there;

I am doing odd reports and news items for Classic Car Weekly paper, so if you have any interesting news stories, snippets, runs, events etc coming up please PM me anytime.

Also I am writing a book about cafe racer motorcycles for Veloce Books over the winter - if anyone built a Triton, or Rickman Honda, Tribsa, Norvin etc back in the 50s-80s, or just enjoyed the cafe scene back in the old days of motorcycling, please PM me - the book needs as many personal recollections and great archive photos as possible.

all the best

Hi All,

Thanks for looking at my 'old' website. www.vccofgbnw.co.uk. I still admin that one, but only now and then. I have now started a new website to include all cars old and classic. If you have a few minutes, please take a look. Hope I can put whatever I want on this one.  Cheers Kate.
