Annual General Meeting 2025, and Buffet Lunch

THE NEED TO SUPPORT OUR AGM IN 2025

13 th April 2025 at British Motor Museum, Gaydon, Warwickshire (Free Entry provided)

Robert Browett, Club Member writes: 

Last year’s AGM was held as usual at The British Motor Museum, Gaydon and included a road run plus excellent presentations from our committee. Unfortunately, Peter’s excellent road run was undertaken by only 4 cars (2 Standards and 2 Triumphs) and the presentations in the afternoon were delivered to less members than the whole of the committee!

Considering all the work put in it must have been dispiriting for the committee members to say the least!

This must not happen again and your full support for this important function is requested, because if it is not forthcoming, we will quite possibly lose the occasion which will be replaced by a ‘zoom’ meeting, as has happened with the TR Register, who consider it to be purely a business event!

To counter this situation, we need to ensure that our AGM is very much a members’ meeting and the first real club social meeting of the year. So for 2025 the following changes will be introduced : -

Road run – departure at 11.00am from Gaydon with a 45 minute tour of the lovely surrounding south Warwickshire countryside. All Standards, Triumphs or other classic cars welcome. On return, time for a look around the excellent Museum (free entry). If your classic car is not ready or the distance is too far then please do come in your modern vehicle.

Lunch – a ticketed buffet will be available in our private room at £13.50 per person, to be served at 12.30. The cost is to be paid for here (Closing date for orders 28th March). 

Meeting – our Members’ Meeting and AGM will start at 2.00pm and follow the usual format with plenty of time for questions and feedback. Your committee is very keen to hear your ideas and suggestions. The meeting is expected to finish by 4.00pm. Complimentary tea and coffee will be served half way through the meeting.

Attendees – It is appreciated that this is a one-day event and attendance may not be practical for those members living long distances away. However, for members living within a reasonable driving distance we really need your support and ask you to make a real effort to attend. Furthermore, it would be good to ‘fly the flag’ with as many Standards and Triumphs and other classics as possible in our line-up for the road run at 11.00am.

More details of the day will be published in the February and March editions of the Review but in the meantime please put the date of Sunday April 13th in your diaries now.

Now,please tell us the Number of attendees  (free)  and the number of Buffets required.
