We have an important update about the forthcoming Club Social & AGM weekend.
" A message from Tony Sighe:
Sadly, I won't be ready in time to enter the race at Mallory Park on Saturday 6th September. This is due to a fault that has developed with the car that I haven't had time to fix and test before the race. The car is misfiring/stalling slightly under high load/revs and I wouldn't want that to happen in front of a faster car on the tight and twisty Mallory circuit."
So how does this impact our plans for the AGM weekend?
The weekend was arranged around giving us the chance to watch Tony's S800 race at Mallory Park on the Saturday, and hold our formal AGM meeting on the Sunday morning.
We apologise for the late change, but to ensure the best opportunity to enjoy our time together, we are swapping around the days somewhat so the formal AGM will now take place on Saturday morning, with other Social activities arranged for both Saturday afternoon and Sunday. The Club dinner, of course, remains unchanged on Saturday evening!
Here's how the revised schedule now looks:
Friday 5th September
For those arriving on Friday we will meet for an informal dinner around 8pm in the Lea Marston Hotel – We have a reserved space in the far right hand area of the hotel car park for parking all Club Members cars together over the weekend.
Saturday 6th September
- A Hearty Breakfast to prepare you for the rigours of the Club Annual General Meeting is included in your room rate!
- The 2025 Annual General Meeting will be from 10:30 to 12 noon in the Barton Room at the Lea Marston Hotel. The Agenda is published on the Club Website. If you have any questions or specific topics you'd like to raise, please send them to John Tetley by Weds September 3rd.
If you are unable to join the Annual General Meeting in person then we will provide the option to join via video conference so you can follow the proceedings from anywhere in the world!
- 12 noon – travel to the nearby Battle of Bosworth Exhibition Centre for free time, lunch and socialising / Chat / technical discussions, etc!
- 3.30pm – Battle of Bosworth Exhibition Centre for a short guided walk of approximately one hour. If you are interested to join this please email John Tetley as soon as possible so we can notify the centre.
- 7pm (pre-dinner drinks) for 7:30pm – Awards Dinner and quiz in the Perry Barton Suite We will have a list of what food you have pre-ordered.
Sunday 7th September
- Breakfast is again included in your room rate to prepare you for a busy day ahead!
- Leave approx 10.30am for a 10 mile scenic Club drive to Stonebridge Adventure Golf – to enjoy 'Crazy Golf on Steroids' for a bit of non-competitive fun (prizes will be awarded at lunch!)
- The Golf Club at Stonebridge can provide a good selection of Sunday lunches.
- People are welcome to drift off home after lunch or continue to natter through the afternoon in the golf club.
We will set-up a separate WhatsApp Group for members attending the weekend (or would just like to follow the event remotely). This will help to communicate plans, discussion and timings. Watch out for the invite to join the group, or join it from the Club WhatsApp Community.
If you are attending the Club Dinner on Saturday evening, please remember to bring a few prizes for the raffle table after the dinner!! These can be car related, or anything you think will be suitable – there are always some fun & silly items to keep the amusement levels high! .
You are also welcome to bring any (clean or wrapped) spare parts you want to sell, and these can be presented on tables that we'll have set up around the room.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions at tsighe@aol.com or s800johntetley@gmail.com.
Remember, you are welcome to join all, or any part, of the weekend to best suit your availability!
Please let us know if you haven't already!
Looking forward to seeing you during the weekend, and once again our apologies for cancelling the trip to Mallory Park (the joys of motorsport!).
