It was an outstanding year for events Graham and I am amazed they all happened after the lock down thing. The variety was good with track days, show days like Bicester and enthusiastic demo runs at Brooklands. I also massively enjoyed the evenings at the Hotels with the boys having a few beers and many laughs. The only idea I have that would be different from this year would be if we could set up a track at Goodwood or one of the vintage/retro weekends. Pistons and props at Sywell is one example. I like the idea of a two day event with staying over at a hotel and a few beers.

The Shuttleworth Collection (Old Warden Airdrome) have a race weekend early October. One day set aside for aircraft and one for Edwardian Racers (cars and bikes). The ‘race’ is actually an individual  sprint down the grass runway strip - now 1km in length. I can make some enquiries if you are interested.

That sounds like a really interesting day to me, and free entry to the museum would top it off . Please investigate and ascertain a date for 2022 if possible.

Firstly - thanks Graham for co-ordinating our events throughout the year, and to everyone who organised specific events.  Incredible to try so many new venues this year.

26th May Stretton Circuit Leicester. First Meeting of 2021 - good to be back out. 
21st July. Castle Combe Karting Circuit - interesting to try a different style of track.  A fun day.   Great support from the team there in terms of marshalling/safety.  The narrow track and continuous tyre wall made for a different driving experience.  Good to have the timing transponders.  For me, I'd not want to go more than once a year.
7th August - Brooklands Relived - Our first public outing.  Once the torrential rain stopped, the day turned into a great outing.  Everyone who went made a real effort with period clothing which was brilliant.  Loved the reaction from the crowd.  The mass start race was spectacular even if it felt a little sketchy at the end of the straight.
28th August - Grimsthorpe Speed Trial - Again more of a display than driving day.   The hillclimb was OK but obviously very short.   Lots of interest from the public.  Driving up the sprint track and then driving back down in formation at the end was fun.  I love the pre-war period of cars they have for the main event so was very happy looking around the cars.  Again, a great effort with clothing and our CKGB "paddock" looking the part.  Loved staying over with drinks and laughs at the hotel.  Its a long way to get there!!
11-13th September - National Microcar Rally Wem, Shropshire.  I didn't attend.
29th September - Haynes Motor Museum. Test Track.   A good day's driving.  Marshalling was minimal.  Good to have the timing transponders.  The track felt very fast.
10th October - Bicester Scramble - static display.    I loved the mixture of cars on show at the Scramble and again lots of interest from the public which was good.  Great display board produced by Andy made us look very professional.
26th October - Whilton Mill.   A really fun finale to the season and I like the track a lot.  Nice to have run-off areas around the track   The club house was excellent.  Marshalling was pretty much left to us, so felt a bit exposed from a safety perspective (although we did have two paramedics with us for most of the day!).   Great turn-out.

For the most part we were lucky with the weather - even if there was rain, it didn't last too long.

I like a mix of individual driving challenges like the Maybug medal and open track time, probably, more biased towards the latter.

I was looking at the British Motor Museum website this morning and came across a page for clubs. I think they do a special deal where there is a conference room available along with museum entry for a tenner per person. Hope this link works for you guys to check out and see if I'm right. https://www.britishmotormuseum.co.uk/plan-your-visit/car-club-visits/car-club-meetings-and-agms

All sounding promising Jim  . Well done.
