By now all members who opted to have electronic magazine delivery should have received a "pdf" copy, and all others should have received a hard copy, of the Spring 2024 magazine.

If anyone has not received a copy please let myself or Alan Richey know and we'll try to sort it out for you.

We now have just over 2 weeks before the AGM is held at the National Kit Car Show at Malvern (Sat 1st June) and hopefully we'll see lots of you there.  If you wish to have anything discussed, or would like to volunteer as Events Secretary, please follow the instructions in the magazine.

Some time ago when was involved as events sec a club track day was asked about. At the time the cost was massive , around the £8k mark. I now notice that Blyton park do a club track day. So i fired off a email to enquire and was surprised at the price. they basically limit the track to 6 cars and do about 7 lap sessions they have cut the cost by using cctv and less marshals. I enquired for 24 cars latter part of the year (sept), the price they came back with was £2950+vat so £3540 that works out at £147.50 per car if 24 cars. what are peoples thoughts?   

Leicestershire area meet 15th May

Dog and Gun Keyham. 6.30ish onwards, we had reserved parking last month long the bottom of the carpark. 

Old timers amonst us will remember we regularly took our cars to this show (easy for me as it is only 3 miles away ).   But about 3 years ago a brand new Committee was formed and they didn't show any interest in cars displaying.    I have just been contacted by the previous organiser who said they have seen the error of their ways and now wanted cars to display.

It's on Sunday 23rd June (Its actually all weekend but the Saturday is primarily a music festival).  The website is https://midsummerfestival.co.uk/   The postcode is NG33 4SB.

It's a real old style village fair and a nice day out.

If anyone fancies going please let me know.

Time is fast approaching.   Remember there are now only 2 dedicated kit car shows, this one and Newark.   So time to make an effort and come along.   The website is at https://www.visitthemalverns.org/event/national-kit-car-show-2/

The parking plan is now available and is shown below.   Our Club Stand is right in the middle and similar to last year.   We are planning to have the AGM in a room in the exhibition Hall at 15:00  (still to be confirmed).  This should allow even the far-flung members to come for the day and still get home before dark.

For the campers the camping area is on the right.

See you all there

I missed last year due to a previously booked event, Question is can we arrive on Friday afternoon to camp?. If we can is

there a particular place that we would all congregate at. Can't seem to find a map of the camping area on the organisers site.

Hope that some one can help me out, going down on Friday as travelling from Durham via the M6.

so see you all there.

Regards Allan

The East of England team are doing a run out and picnic lunch at Rutland Water on Sunday 12th.   If anyone else wants to join us please let me know and I will give you details.
