AGM 2021 - no date/location yet
All,
This weekend would, in a regular year, have been the occasion of our AGM at Stoneleigh. But it's not a regular year, and although lockdown restrictions are being gradually eased, they're not at the stage where large crowds can gather.
I've been monitoring Grosvenor Shows' website for any news or indication of what they're doing, but so far there's nothing. Can't say I blame them, as they won't want to spend money setting things up only to have them binned. Therefore, for now, there are no plans or dates for a get-together, but rest assured that your fave committee-type peeps are on the case and monitoring the situation closely. It may be that we have to organise something purely for the club, rather than as part of a larger event, or depending how things go we might not have an AGM at all this year (again).
Still. Rest assured that as soon as the situation begins to resolve we'll be on it, and there'll be an announcement on here. But just thought you'd all appreciate being kept in the loop, even though there currently isn't any loop to be kept in...if you see what I mean.
Take Care, and fingers crossed!
Chairman Norm

Thanks Norm,
I've just had a look at the previous AGM minutes (2 years ago).
Mentioned are:
Yorkshire Run
Northern Drive Out
Silverstone Classic
No change there?
Also, a proposed Stratos shower cover.
'Production of which we have actually achieved (thank again to Robin).
A box ticked.
Re: AGM 2021 - no date/location yet
Yeah, it's pretty much "business as usual" really, Chris...shower cover's a success thanks to various peeps, and with luck we should have repro clam catches soon! Watch this space for news on those!
Re: AGM 2021 - no date/location yet
On that subject - Recently received my shower cover - and agree it's a well-made item and actually quite good value I reckon at £135 inc postage
Re: AGM 2021 - no date/location yet
I believe the Newark show is on for 24/25 July and Stoneleigh for 28/29 August or 29/30 August (Bank holiday weekend) depending on exhibitors preferences.
Usual Covid rules applying/allowing!

Re: AGM 2021 - no date/location yet
Oddly nuff, I was looking on the Show web pages today to see if there were any updates, but nothing doing apart from last year's pop-up msg saying it was cancelled. Where did you see those dates?
Re: AGM 2021 - no date/location yet
In an email from Grosvenor to from Gerry forwarded to yours truly.
Re: AGM 2021 - no date/location yet
Cheers Guy, reckon that's about as good a source as you can get, then :)
We should be ready to move on any of those dates as things become clearer. We'll have to see about marquee hire too, as our usual provider has stopped doing small stuff and is now concentrating solely on large events. Good to have something to aim for!
Re: AGM 2021 - no date/location yet
Forgot to say, I also looked on each of the showgrounds' websites to see what they've got coming up, and no mention of any kit car shows....yet.
Re: AGM 2021 - no date/location yet
Latest on this - the Total Kit Car website has a weekly "news" section, in which the 4th June update included the info that Newark was cancelled for this year, but that Stoneleigh was going ahead on the Sat/Sun of the August Bank Hol weekend. HOWEVER....looking on the actual Stoneleigh Show website, it's still got a pop-up saying that "Stoneleigh 2020 is cancelled" which doesn't bode well (and no news on their FB page either). Also, on the Stoneleigh showground "What's On" page of its website, there's no mention of the show. So I'm not holding my breath.... now I've said that, though, watch them all light up in technicolour first thing tomorrow morning :)
