Adopt a Dealer Request for Volunteers

After the Covid restrictions, we are looking to re-introduce the ‘Adopt-A-Dealer’ scheme that had previously been run by the Club. In brief, we are looking for volunteer members who would be willing to make and maintain contact with their local dealer(s). Generally, this will involve, but not necessarily limited to, visiting the dealer every 2 – 3 months to ensure that any display materials that we have provided is still well maintained, visible and topped up as required, and also to maintain a good relationship with that dealer.
Other ideas or suggestions that could increase Club membership may be implemented as and when introduced.
This would not necessarily be limited with dealers who currently advertise with us, but any that you know of local to you, but predominantly a Swift dealer.
In the first instance, would any member who is willing to undertake this responsibility, please email me at: marketing@swift-owners-club.com giving me your address, and the name(s) of any dealer(s) within your locality that you would be willing to liaise with. Please do not make any initial contact with dealers. (If you had previously volunteered, please do so again so that we are current in our listings).

Maureen (Mo) Middleweek

It is with great sadness that I inform you of the passing of long-standing member Mo Middleweek. Mo died peacefully in her sleep on 26th October. She will be sadly missed by her family and many SOC friends.

Mo and her husband Colin joined the SOC back in 1991 and were regular ralliers.

Our thoughts are with Colin and family at this very sad and difficult time.

I will publish funeral details here in the Members’ News when known.
