News from Staffordshire North Region

The February club night meeting was very busy with lots happening, we held our regional Annual General meeting, it was proposed rather than vote for individual committee positions there would be a block vote (all committee members were prepared to continue in their current positions for the coming year) the vote was approved unanimously, committee positions are: Chairman/Events Dave Page, Vice Chairman Brian Pye, Treasurer/Events Carol Ingram, Secretary/Regional organizer Mike Beirne, GDP/Membership Sue Page, Web Pages Dave Rockey, Committee members Keith Ingram and Ray Spurway. The region accounts were presented showing we were in a good state of financial health for the previous 12 months (thanks to Ray Spurway for assisting Carol Ingram with preparation of them). A proposal to purchase a new larger Gazebo for shows was passed. The winner of the 2025 “Member of the Year” award was announced, the winner being Dave Lewis – well done Dave. We held the usual raffle fundraiser, thanks to everyone who donated prizes – this raised £60 towards region funds. Many of the car shows are already planned for 2025 but not all shows appear in this news roundup, although where there is time and space they will be included. We will attend Weston Park show and Apedale railway on “Drive it day” in April. In May we will be at Donnington, Swadlincote and Gawsworth hall. Please join us at the Potters Bar in Meir Park on the third Tuesday of every month from 8:00pm to find out more.
