Big thanks to Harvey, Andy, Steve, David and co for a great AGM, nice quiz, excellent tour, lovely dinner and super speech with a splendid format which in my opinion works extremely well. What a selection of cars and each year the quality improves too. The venue was superb with an accessible location from all corners, perfect size, no queuing for meals, car parking was good and the field was an added bonus- thanks for arranging the weather too.
If I were to gripe and this definitely cannot be pointed at the organisers it was the lack of young folk i.e. children in attendance , nevertheless my boys had a great time regardless but would have enjoyed it further still had other kids attended as they did in Shrewsbury in 2009. This is not my real issue here, what is is the negative attitude by a small minority of some members (The usual suspects who know who they are) towards us as a family bringing children to such an event where their ignorance and body language was all too evident.
But this will not deter us attending further AGM's as the majority of folk are most welcoming and we have to remember that children need to be encouraged as like it or not they will be the future of the club, so please, please can we bear this in mind, it is my 17th AGM out of the 24 years I have been a club member and as a family we hope to attend many many more.
That's it, gripe over thanks once again for an otherwise super event.
