Welcome all. Start asking the questions, any questions, as they love that on here.

April was very much a mixed month.   Of the 30 members up for renewal only a disappointing 18 members continued.   On the other hand, my prediction of the improving weather attracting new registrations came true and we got a record (for me) 12 new & returning (after a few years away) members.

So, our new & returning members are: (Username, location and Area Sec)

Michael Perrin             Ormskirk                     Darrell
DavePro62                   Dunstable                   AlanRichey     (Return)
Craig Morton               Aberdeen                    soupstone
Vic Poole                      Taunton                      apgodden       (Return)
Robert Taylor               Waddington                AlanRichey
Rob.J                             Preston                       Darrell
James Deveraux          Hilpurton                    apgodden
John Hawkins              Maidstone                  Nelmo
BullCrums (Alan)          Sunderland                alantoon         (Return)
Norfolk chris                 North Walsham         AlanRichey     (Return)
Martin                            Derby                         andi
Routely1985 (Martin)   Tavistock                   Robbie 2B

So welcome to all, and it's great to see the returnees.   Although it's a shame to lose existing members, it is probably inevitable as people get old/ill and cars are sold.   But it's very reassuring to see new blood coming into the Club.

[Andi]

Yes, welcome all new and old.

Be great to meet you all in person if you can get to the National Kit car show at Malvern.

Come for the day, or even better come for the weekend and stay over, and drink beer. (lots of it)

May was an average month.   We had 30 members up for renewal but only 16 of them actually renewed.   But we got 9 new members to partially balance the loss and 2 members who came back after a few years away.   To be honest I would always trade new or returning members who are hopefully keen to join in, with older members who probably gave up contributing to the forum or attending meetings some time ago.   It gives us a very healthy total of 350 members. So I am very pleased to welcome all the new and returning members.  Here they are, username, location and Area Secretary.

It's taken some time but at long last we had a month where we gained more members than we lost.  There were 42 members coming up for renewal and 32 of them actually renewed.  But the 10 who left were replaced by 10 new members leaving us unchanged.  But then one ex-member rejoined after a few years away, putting us in profit.   So we now have 351 members.  Let's hope we can keep getting bigger.

So once again I am very pleased to welcome all the new and returning members.  Here are the new members, username (and real first name if it isn't obvious), location and Area Secretary.

Andrew Yates               Loughborough        tractor

Welcome to you all, hopefully you'll all find something useful within the club.

Join in as much (or as little) as you want - I guess the next big meet up will be at Newark  22-23rd July if you fancy a day out, or you can camp over and make it a weekend.

https://www.newarkshowground.com/whats-on/newark-kit-car-festival/

We're always open to questions or suggestions (and any good reasons for a BBQ & a beer) so let us know your thoughts and help us to make the club as good as we can.

Glad to be back. I’ll try and find time to post my builds on the forum but I’ll mainly be loitering in the background

[Darrell]

Welcome one and all, enjoy your cars 

remember to put a pin in the membership map

July was a bit of a seismic month.   We had 46 members up for renewal and only 30 actually renewed, which was a bit of a disappointment.  But on the other side of the coin we had 11 new members sign up, which is close to a record for me, so that is really good news.  So a big thanks to all the returnees and a welcome to the following new members. As usual it is username (with Christian name in brackets is it isn't obvious), location and Area Sec.

Another month gone by, and this one was fairly quiet compared with previous months, although still showing the same pattern.  Only 32 members were up for renewal and 24 of them stayed with us.  To balance that we had 5 new members join us:

GIWRS (Paul)                       Chorley                        Darrell

B20  (Moritz)                        Germany                     Me

Paul Dalton                           Deal                             nelmo

Jimmy Jago (Anthony)         Sandy                         Me

Kenner (Andrew)                   Featherstone              Grim

So welcome one and all.

Welcome to you all - it looks like the sun has finally made it to Britain so make the most of it while you can.

Not one of our better months, but I guess it is to be expected as the season draws to a close.  Twelve members did not renew. However, the good news is we received seven new members.   So we welcome:
