With the club celebrating its 30th anniversary, we were delighted with an excellent turn out of cars. We had 19 cars on the stand for Sundays AGM day and 17 cars present on the Monday. A total of 21 different cars over the show. Although the show started with traditional bank holiday drizzle, by late morning the sun was out and remained with us for the rest of the event.
We celebrated the anniversary with a Midas Gold cake, created for us by Jayne Courtney, and a club meal on Sunday evening at a carvery in nearby Coventry.
Complete Kit Car magazine also joined in our celebration (after Tony had bribed them with MOC cupcakes!) and took a group of our smartest looking cars for a photo session, the results of which can be seen in (and on the cover!) of the July issue of CKC – see above.
The AGM reported that the membership was on the rise again after several years of decline and that the clubs finances were in good health.
Sadly our lady chairman, Josie Horsley, has now stood down after giving us notice at last year’s AGM and Tony Moss announced that he intends to stand down from his Club Secretary role next year. This means that the club committee is in need of some fresh blood and it is hoped that this can also bring in some extra IT capability as the club needs to update its systems and move to a more modern on-line basis, with more members sharing the organizing of club events.
