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.

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.
