Committee Stuff

Here are your Committee members:

To clarify the VP roles, Alan runs the Facebook page and Peter is our international liaison man. We’re
not on the committee but former President Barry Boggild still runs the website/forum for the club, and I
produce the Shining On quarterly newsletter.

REGULAR MEETINGS

The place to announce these is generally the Forum and/or Facebook, but please do remember to tell
me, and send me meeting reports afterwards, with photos (via barrycroft@yahoo.co.uk)

Northern – generally meeting in or near the Peak District or Yorkshire
Two Wednesdays a month there’s a meet somewhere for lunch. The venue changes but there is usually
somebody there for this long-established meet-up, generally at 12 noon. Thanks to Brian Eccles and
Dave Cape there’s even a programme now for the Last Wednesday of the Month in 2022, see below:

● 28-29th September (2 day trip) - Crich tramway village + Great British car journey, overnight in
Matlock.
● 19th October - TBC

(I’ve had a plea from David Cape - he can no longer lead or indeed participate in these Northern rides for
personal reasons, so we’re looking for someone local to take the lead on these, or the idea may die. It’s
very informal - simply start a thread on the Forum proposing a place, date and time, post precisely where
and when you’ll be waiting to meet interested people, then have fun! Thanks, Ba.)

North Western
● Second Sunday of the month: Venue varies but usually in or near Lancashire. Check the Forum
for details.

Southern - usually within a few miles of the M4, between Kent and Cornwall
This region is rather long and thin, so we’re looking for someone living at the eastern end (Kent, Sussex,
Surrey, Hampshire etc) to take a lead in organising eastern half meetings, while I and others take the
lead at the western end. Those near the middle have the best of both worlds at the moment and also
enjoy meeting the Midlands folk, but we have Cornish and Kent members at either end who are often
currently overlooked.
