A very enjoyable New Year
Dinner was held at the Ferncroft Masonic Hall on Saturday 14th January. 40 guests attended and were provided with a 4 course meal produced by the “in
house” chef and entertained by Alan Chitty, a magician.
Alan performed close up table
magic between courses and finished off the evening with a further 40 minute
show. It is hoped that this function, which was a first for 1020, will become
an annual event - We must thank Roger Leach for booking the hall and making
many of the arrangements for us.
A Very Happy New Year to
all our members!

Duncan and Fizz
Gee arriving at CCOTP on New Year’s Day
On New Year’s Day, many 1020 members gathered on Bournemouth
promenade, with many other local car clubs, for the traditional meeting of
classic car enthusiasts.
This year, two of our members, Duncan and Fizz Gee,
officially completed their marathon Round Britain Coastal Trip by returning to
their original starting point. They spent 7 years, covering 12,200 miles in
total, splitting the journey into 1 month segments each year, to travel a
section of the coast, except for the Scottish section which took them nearly 3
months.
Nigel Knowles, Regional Secretary of Home Counties South (Region 10)
arrived just in time to wave the chequered flag over the much travelled car,
with hood down, just before the rain started. The wet weather did not deter the
huge turnout of vehicles from attending this very popular event.
Club night 2nd January
Our club
night, the following evening, was well attended for a Bank Holiday meeting. Our
membership secretary, Janet Riley, was kept busy with membership renewals
before a film covering the development of the MG from the “A” to the “SV” was
shown.
