Many thanks to everyone who came to the Club AGM on Sunday 2nd October.  It was a really constructive meeting with lots of positive ideas put forward for 2017, plus it was great to get another chance to look around the British Motor Museum.  Minutes will appear on the website shortly and in the next issue of Icsunonove.

We really do enjoy being members of Car Clubs; Sharon has the X1/9 Owners Club, of which she is the Regalia Officer. Ray has the GT-R Owners Club, of which he is an “Executive Member” – “something vaguely to do with the Committee”; and of course by no means last - we both belong to EYTCC.

So, it does mean that we need to attend our respective AGMs; that’s when it gets interesting because, apart from the EYTCC (which we miss this year due a GTROC Event) these are held “centrally” somewhere in the UK and involve organising a conveniently situated overnight stay.

This year the X1/9 OC AGM was at the Heritage Motor Museum, Gaydon near Coventry; a superb venue for anyone with an interest in Motor Vehicle Heritage; AND it coincided with the penultimate final “Fly By” by the last Vulcan “V” bomber: XH558. The place was completely “Sold Out” for this unique event.

The clue is in the name, yes, it was held in Devon, based around the Woolacombe Bay Holiday Park. This Holiday Park has a mixture of Holiday Chalets, Static caravans and Tents and is set in an area of great beauty with wooded valleys and fabulous walks.

This was my third X1/9 National, and Sharon’s - well over 10th - she has also organised at least one. 

They follow a distinct pattern; Friday, Meet and Greet in the Bar; Saturday, an organised run around the area with carefully planned “pit stops”, then in the evening a Dinner. On Sunday it is “Show and Shine” time, after which we all go to the Bar to hand out the various Awards. Sharon won “Best Car” this year – she had done a fantastic job with some new polish for the body and a different type for the “black work parts”.

After that it is “tyre kicking time” and gradually people drift away back home.

The committee has been working hard over the last year to reduce the cost of running the Club and producing the magazine.  As a result, the Club finds itself in a financially healthy situation and it is in a position to pass the benefit on to new and renewing members.  Therefore, from the date of the AGM (4th October), we are pleased to announce that the cost of full membership has been reduced from £30 to £25.

Remember, you can join the Club via our online shop which can be accessed here or via an application form, details of which can be found here.

So, if you were debating whether to join the Club, now is the perfect time to take the plunge and enjoy the benefits of being a full Club member.
