Ten cars, two teams, a sunny day and the beautiful Cheshire countryside what else could you ask for?? The engines were revving and the competition was hot…Tim’s 3P Club for Porsche enthusiasts versus Landlord Ben’s Goodfellas Car Club sponsored superbly by Porsche Chester and Martin their enthusiastic Sales Director!! Who took part but had to pick up his wife half way round as her hair appointment over ran!!…Tim’s team had fluked it last year by one point!!! What would happen this year!!?? Well everyone got round safely taking in such sights as Shakerley Mere, our next pub project the three Greyhounds Inn at Allostock and many more sights along the way.

It wasn’t a race and everyone was back in the pub for a traditional pub plate snack and a well-earned drink. Team ‘Gas Guzzler’ even managed to fit in a trip to B&Q during the ‘hunt’!!!

Can the ‘Goodfellas’ deliver the goods this year having lost by a ‘whisker’ to the Porsches in 2011!!???

The Treasure hunt is not a timed race so therefore everyone will have plenty of time to get round and answer the clues (hopefully) and you never know where you could end up!!

All we will ask is for a £5 entry fee per car which will go towards the local Mobberley Church Charity

Yep this little Fiat 500 or ‘Bambino’ as I like to call them became the Goodfellas 50th Car Club member and guess what? The owner didn’t leave his email address!!! So if you know whose car this is or you are indeed the gentleman we chatted with who proudly owns this little gem of a car please let us know your email address as a prize awaits!!!!

Our landlord Ben has done very well recruiting some cracking cars of all shapes, sizes and ages since taking over the Bulls Head.

Here’s to the next half century!!

Members of the 3p and Goodfellas car clubs got together at the Bulls Head for fresh coffee and Cured Bacon baps before driving off in convoy to the Pageant of Power Car extravaganza at Cholmondely Castle close to our other pub the Cholmondeley Arms!!!

On route to the Pageant the drivers, who were made up of competition winners and enthusiasts, had to complete a treasure
hunt quiz based on landmarks on the journey towards Whitchurch on the A49!!! Andrew and his team came out triumphant and got a second Gin and Tonic for their troubles at the Cholmondeley Arms later in the day after the Pageant!! The Cholmondeley Arms boasts over 100 different gins!!!

The day stayed dry and was enjoyed by all we are still wandering where Bens team and Gregs team are!!?? Thank you for all the support from the car clubs and here’s to a summer of successful car events!!!!

ALE TRAIL BUS

Over forty people were entertained again for the annual ABN AMRO Ale trail as a thank you for hard work through the year.

Our six ale pumps reflected as always the ‘local hero’ microbrewers of Cheshire and the beers most enjoyed on the day were Cheshire Cat brewed by Weetwood and Whirly Bird brewed by Mobberley Fine Ales and of course Mobberley Wobbly Ale.

The mode of transport was the same as last year for the ale trail, an excellent old bus all the way from Halifax!! We have decided to make the bus an honorary member of the ‘Good Fellas’ car club…which makes it two buses so far!!

A great night was had last night as Tim’s 3p (Pub, Porsche and Pint Club) literally ‘pipped’ Shanes Goodfellas Car Club by just two points on the head to head car treasure hunt.

Lord Ted deserves great praise for putting the final treasure hunt of the season together so well.

The teams took to the road with great determination and Goodfellas team Jo and Nick won the best treasure hunt score as well as best quiz score picking up £50 of Bulls Head vouchers to spend in the pub celebrating!!!

Andrew and Dan collected the prize for least miles used whilst driving the treasure hunt to its conclusion!!!

To Shane’s bitter disappointment Jo and Nicks superb efforts didn’t manage to bring the Goodfellas home first. Team 3p stole it by TWO points!!!

Mary presented the Cup to Tim and the team and Shane accepted defeat gracefully but promised revenge next year!!!

Thanks to the teams that took part and for those that couldn’t make it your teams represented you well!!! Here’s to more treasure hunts next year!!!
