Classic High Tea - 4 December 2016
Report and photos Jim Paterson
From west to north - members from near and far
The
clubs end of year event takes time to enjoy a traditional Scottish high
tea, a main course followed by lots of cream cakes and tea.
 With over 40 members on the 'entry list', the Royal George Hotel in Perth had to give us one of their larger dining rooms.
We
gathered in the bar area (where else?) chatting over some of the past
years events, and catching up with the latest updates to our
classics.
Soon Jim Paterson called for all crews to 'start their engines' and head for the dining room.
 Before
our feasting began Jim presented a video summary of the past years
events, showing many of the members cars.
The
main course then arrived and we all tucked into our pre selected
options. Each table had a list of who had selected what so no need for
me to adjudicate over who ordered the last fish and chips!
The
'tea' part of the event saw scones, butter and jam, with creamed scones
topped with a strawberry, and the 'creme de la creme', the biggest
meringues on the planet. The calories simply groaned, they were so big!
The strawberry on top simply made them a must 'eat me'.
Retiring
back to the bar we continued our conversations over the 2017 calendar
with some good ideas to add to the clubs current events for next year.
Watch this space to see what we finally come up with.
My
drive home next day (yes the bar did stay open late!) passed by the new
Forth Road Crossing, not long until complete, looming through the fog
over the river.
Meantime
we wish ALL our members and everyone who is a classic car enthusiast, a
very merry Christmas and a really good fun Classic New Year.
You will be very welcome to join us on some great events in 2017.
