AGM Rally Late Booking Option

It is now passed the published final booking date for this rally. However, late bookings can be accepted but you may not receive a rally plaque. See the ‘AGM Rally 2023 – Online Booking’ section on this webpage for details.

Call for AGM Bookings

There are only 3 weeks to go to this year’s AGM in October

Now the majority of you are back from your Summer Holidays if you haven’t done so already, it’s time to book onto this year’s AGM and rally in the Derbyshire Countryside. It would help the Marshals if you could book on sooner rather than later so please don’t delay and book on today.

Check out how to do this on page 21 of your Summer 2023 Going Places or alternatively on the Members’ Area of the Club’s Website. It couldn’t be easier and you will enjoy a weekend of meeting up with friends from near and far, entertainment and of course having a say in how your club is run.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Billy and Val Rowett AGM Marshals

Reinstated Fowlmere (Duxford) Rally 10th-13th November

This is an urgent message for those members who have advised they wish to go on that Rally but who have not sent in a booking slip plus anyone else who would like to go.   Unless the promised Rally Slips arrive to confirm we have sufficient numbers the Rally cannot go ahead.

Many thanks Jenne Essam.

Rally No  40. Sandringham Craft Fair and Thursford Christmas Spectacular

A reminder that payment of £43.50 per ticket is now urgently required if you have paid the £5.00 per head deposit and full payment of £48.50 per person where deposits have not been paid as I have to pay the balance due for the tickets on 16th September.  Payment should be made to Mrs J Essam either by Cheque or contact me if you need my on line payment details.

Many thanks Jenne Essam.

Bill Moxon

Sadly I have just heard that retired member Bill Moxon passed away on Monday 28th August. I’m sure many of our long-standing members will remember him as he was well known and rallied regularly with his wife Angie and daughter Becky. Our thoughts are with his family at this very difficult time.

I don’t have any further information at present.

John Brailsford, President

Sarah Woodward

We received an email from Ian Woodward with the sad news that his wife Sarah had passed away on Wednesday 23rd August. Sarah and Ian, from Chesterfield, have been members for 8 years and were always fun to chat to on rallies.

Sarah was only diagnosed one month ago with a terminal cancer and at only 55 years old her life was taken far too soon. Sarah will be sadly missed by all who knew her.

Our thoughts are with Ian, their family and friends at this very difficult time.

RIP Sarah.

John Brailsford, President
