Hi Nick,
Well done on making what, I know, is a very difficult decision. There is a
limit to how much anyone should have to endure in their job. Work should be
enjoyable - at least most of the time. I 'retired' at 50 for similar reasons
and have NEVER regretted it.
Hope everything works out and glad to hear that you're already beginning to
enjoying things as you start to get your life back.
I'm up for the Teal on Sunday, if it goes ahead. Maybe catch up then.
All the best
Frank

Hello lovely people, I hope you are all well?
It seems like ages since we had the opportunity to have a proper get together.
Yes, we've had a couple of excellent meets over the last few months & there's
been lots of new faces but with no major club events, race meets etc which is
totally understandable, its all been a bit quiet. At this time of year I would
usually be putting plans together for a New Year dinner but as I type sadly I
can't see that happening, there is some talk of TVRCC events for next year & if
anything is confirmed you'll be the first to know.
As many of you know I've been having a bit of fun on the work front this year &
I recently took a huge leap of faith & quit my job! As such, I'm
unemployed/retired/god only knows what but delete as appropriate! I have no
plan/idea of what I'm going to do but the one thing I will be doing is getting
my head back together & spending quality time with family & friends (rules
permitting) who I've neglected for some time. A week in & I find myself in a
much better place & looking forward to the next phase of life...watch this
space. Hopefully when we next meet you will see the difference in me & it's
getting better every day!
Back to car club stuff...next Sunday is scheduled for our Sunday meet at Teal,
as you know we cancelled the last one due to government advice & I'm quite sure
there are two sets of opinion as to whether we should have a meet or not. What
I can tell you is Teal are happy for us to be there but they have a very strict
policy in place. They are in a tier 1 area & are happy to give us two tables of
six but there can be no interaction between tables (changing seats etc) & we
would need to pre order food & have an exact list of names/numbers beforehand.
If people still feel it's not right to attend I totally respect that, but if
some of you wish to go ahead I'll put the wheels in motion subject to the Teals
requirements. I'm not trying to influence people in either way as you have to
do what you feel is right.
One thing we can do within the rules (sort of) is the occasional drive & I'm
happy to keep an eye on the weather & sort something when conditions permit.
Take care everyone, & don't forget to let me know your thoughts re next Sunday.
All the best
Nick (just chillin but if anyone knows of someone looking for a Brad Pitt
lookalike with nearly 40 years' experience in the timber trade please let me
know)
