Portway News March 2025

Not a lot to report on this month as things seem very quiet Austin wise. I trust the February meeting at The Base went well. We unfortunately missed it as Sheila and I were away celebrating her big Birthday – one an 0 on the end!! (Just one 0). As there is little else to report on, I will share her excitement with you. It was a surprise trip to spend a few days at Longleat where we stayed in a cottage on the African Reserve. Outside our back door roamed Ostrich, Wildebeest, Zebra and Giraffe. Unfortunately, the Giraffe were in their winter quarters due to the cold weather. All was not lost however as I had arranged for a keeper to take Sheila up to the Giraffe House to feed them. On another day she was taken to wake up the Aardvark who are nocturnal and feed them their breakfast. On the last day Sheila visited the Red Panders to feed them their afternoon tea.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Popham Classic Car Show

It is now official Popham will not be holding their car show this year. They say they hope to bring it back next year but I guess that depends on the housing project which has outline approval.

 

Drive It Day is looming on April 27th

Is anyone thinking of organising a Portway event? If so please let me know for inclusion on our Future Events page.

 

Look out for Derek on TV Sunday morning

This Sunday morning (March 2nd) Derek will be on TV again. He will be chatting to Alan Titchmarsh about his dogs on ‘Love Your Weekend’. I say again but last time it was just his Opal featured being driven by Alan.

 

That’s all folks. Please send me anything you think others would like to know for next month.

 

The next meeting at The Base is March 19th.
