15 confirmed for AGM so far. Appreciate it?s a Bank Hol but that also makes a great excuse to have a drive out, enjoy meeting fellow enthusiasts and visit the excellent Motor Museum whilst having an opportunity to support and have input into the club. I attended my first SEC AGM last year and my experience was that it was an enjoyable and worthwhile day out with great people. Hopefully you can join us.
All the best
Neil

Yeah, c'mon, peeps - this is the AGM for YOUR club. Turn up, throw tomatoes and rotten eggs at the committee....well, maybe not tomatoes, cos there aren't any, but you get the idea Give us some suggestions on what you'd like us to do (no, not like that!!) and you get the chance to have a mooch round the museum as well!

For those who think these things are inevitably boring, I beg to differ - we try and keep things as concise as possible, we don't make long sleep-inducing speeches and we make it as amusing as we can. Plus, just looking at the committee members should give y'all a chuckle or three So come along, and don't force a rename to the Stratos Apathy Club....

Sorry I wont be able to make it. Myself, along with the Hassle brothers are taking our cars to the Laon Historique Rally that weekend.

One of the things I am trying to organise for the day and to make even more worthwhile is a professional photographer. The gent that did the footmanjames piece on my car. I am also entering into dialogue with the museum to explore the possibility of having our cars photographed with one of their exhibits. No idea yet if it will happen, very much a germ of an idea which I need to discuss with the committee.

Neil - last year I had a chat with the guy that runs the place (cant remember his name) about organising an exhibition of the British Kit/Replica car industry but at that time couldnt convince him . (bear in mind it's a display of the British motor industry so not sure which British exhibit would be most suitable - perhaps a British Rally icon of the period - Cooper S, Escort Rs 1600/Twin Cam/ Mexico,TR8, that sort of thing.)
Good idea for a photographer though.

Peter Thanks for the insight. I’m definitely aligned to your thoughts. I believe they have a 6R4 there as well. Not sure to everyone’s tastes but I must confess to liking the Rally TR8 and I once owned a MK1 Escort Twin Cam which I sold for ?2k many decades ago

Hopefully a few more will join us and enjoy the day out.
