AGM & Prize giving 26th November 2006

A excellent turnout of members met at the Thistle Hotel, Cheltenham for the 2006 Annual General Meeting and Prize giving.

Following the adoption of last minutes and approval of accounts, which are healthy, formal reports were given by the Chairman and Secretaries. Elections were held for the 2006 positions. Colin Rawlinson and David Docherty retired, after many years of service to the club, for which we are all very thankful. Details of the committee are on the Who's Who page.

The big announcement was the invite to attend the Pau Historique in 2007. Click here for details.

After the formalities and lunch came an excellent speech by David Watson, including many amusing anecdotes from racing in the early 50s. Finally, we had the prize giving.

Johns "special" award for contributions to engine building....
