Over 60 members gathered at the Club House on Saturday 28/11 to enjoy a catered dinner and party. Some started early with pre dinner drinks and snacks before the main meal. The president entertained members with some frivolous presentations and all who attended had a most enjoyable evening. Gerard Binder received the club person of the year award. All who attended appreciate the work done by the organisers and all involved in putting the party together.

Open day and 2020 AGM

The second annual open day was held in conjunction with our meeting and AGM on 16th Feb 2020. It was another successful day although the hot weather may have deterred better attendance at the open day. The car balance was in use for the first time in about 20 years and provided good entertainment. Rod Morris who is a member of the NMC and was a student at the school many years ago presented the club with a school flag to be displayed in the clubhouse. Grant Morcom recorded the best time on the balance.
