CHAIRMAN’S CHAT

Hi All

AGM Night was a laugh with the Table Top Rally. Pauline won it with me as her useless assistant - just like driving the car with her in the passenger seat really.

The business of the night was to announce the NEW committee but it’s still essentially the OLD one! Hope this means you have faith in us. We have a few ideas to pep up the events and are always open to any new ideas from you all.

As Hellie says in the Sec Slot, Garry and I are now running Regalia and are hoping to expend some Club funds on some new attire in the near future. We should have some for most Club Nights.

Happy MG’ing
Chris

Secretaries' Slot

Thank you to those who attended October club night and our AGM, the highlight of which was Garry Bishop’s table top rally. We are always a bit disappointed that the AGM turn out is low – are members concerned they will get ‘roped in’ on the night? – please be assured this is not the case.

The committee remains pretty well the same, Mark Neale stood down as Regalia King, he is ‘on the road’ enjoying life now that Penny has ‘retired’, so Garry and Chris will take on the role between them. Andrew Hounsom will be organising Colin Wotley with events. Like the secretarial role, events can be time consuming so it is much better that we now have it as a dual role.

Our thanks to Mark for his contributions over many years – like Arnie I expect he will be back!

The committee are looking at ways to enliven club nights, any suggestions gratefully received, maybe you know someone who could come along and give an interesting talk (but please not Aunt Flossie with 1,000’s of holiday slides!).

We have already booked the dates for next year’s Brunel Run, the weekend of Friday 31st August to Sunday 2nd September. Remember that it is not a necessity to attend for the whole weekend; bookings for the Saturday Run ‘Main Event’ are particularly welcome. Put the date in your diaries now!

December Club Night will host our Christmas Party, free to paid up members, guests are most welcome at £7 a head, music and a buffet to make the night go with a swing, and a bumper raffle – proceeds to our charity – Barton Camp.

Hellie and Pauline

A plea for the magazine:
It takes all of two minutes to stop and take a picture; how many of you now own a digital camera? How many of you own a computer? It would be lovely to feature some members cars being used as they should each month. It is so simple to email them, just say who its from and where it was taken, if you wish to write more we will be more than pleased. Email to MAGAZINE PHOTOS - thankyou.
