The Club Annual General Meeting\Awards Night will be taking place at 7:30pm on Saturday 23rd February at the Victoria Inn at Sigingstone. Cost is £15 a head (that's £5 cheaper than last year !). Please see Geoff Bessant to book and pay for your place as soon as possible. Should be a good night so come along.
Important note: Please return
awards made at last years AGM to The Competition Secretary, Colin Coleman
as soon as possible - thanks.
Please note that the Quiz being hosted by the Welsh
Counties Car Club at The Greedown in St. Georges-Super-Ely, near Cardiff
is being held on MONDAY 14th January and NOT on
Tuesday 15th January as first thought. Please try to come along, the
two teams from BAC who entered the last quiz in December had a good time.
Teams of up to 4 people can take part. Please come along at 7:30pm
ready to start at 8pm.
A reminder of the rules for Junior Members
The Events list for 2008 has now been published - note
that this year we have 3 events lined up at Margam Park.
The club were very sad to hear the news of the recent death of Craig Finch (an ex member of the club), in a road traffic accident before Christmas. Our thoughts are with his family.
Again the committee would be grateful for some volunteers
to help organise events, it always seems to be the same few people who
give their time to make sure you have a good time ! So please come
along and help and then eventually you will be able to organise your own
events. To help this we have produced some Autotest Guidelines - please
have a look at them and then come and help before the start of the next
event. (Autotest - 27th January at Llandow).
Jim Mason and David Glanville are driving 4000 miles to
Mali, West Africa in a 24-year-old Vauxhall Carlton.
Following our trip-of-a-lifetime to Mongolia in 2006, we decided it was
time for another. We are now just a few days away from the start of the
Timbuktu Run 2008. This is the latest incarnation of the Plymouth-Dakar
Challenge (www.plymouth-dakar.co.uk)
(which sounds a bit like Paris-Dakar...geddit?).
The event should entail around 4000 miles through between seven and nine
countries (depending on whether or not you count Gibraltar and Western
Sahara) over about three weeks. Our initial target is to reach Bamako in
Mali. If (and only if) we arrive safely we may decide to press on further
to Timbuktu.
We will post details of our adventures as they unfold on our website www.walestomongolia.co.uk.
