A great turn out of Alvises at the Staplefield Fete and Car Show on Monday 29th May.

A most enjoyable day was had this weekend at the home of South West committee member, Peter Robson, at his farm which is located in a most beautiful spot on the outskirts of Kingsbridge, Devon.

The South East section decided to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III after the regular Denbies Wine Estate meeting on 14th May. And an excellent turnout there was as well.

The South West Section decided to hold a Drive it Day on Exmoor in Devon in addition to our usual day in Cornwall.

The South West Section had a VIP visit to The Fleet Air Arm Museum, Yeolviton on Thursday 23rd March. The visit was organised by committee member Steve White, ably assisted by his wife Bridget and son Andrew, a servicing officer in the Fleet Air Arm, and stationed at the Royal Navy base at Yeovilton.

The season opener for East Anglia was a tremendous success thanks to the organising skills of our committee member Brian Aket. Brian's initial concern in organising a January meeting and the probability of poor weather was fortunately unfounded. We even had four Alvis cars in the car park. More would have been there but for a few non starters following the winter recess.

The south east section starter for 2023, kicked of with a lovely lunch at the Black Horse, Pembury, near Tonbridge Wells.

 

Christmas lunch at the Howard Arms, Ilmington for the Midland Section of the AOC.

The Bicester Heritage Breakfast Scramble was held on 8th January 2023. The event itself was a sell out (2,000 cars plus occupants along with some well behaved dogs) arrived at this well marshalled event. Held at the former bomber command airfield, which is being turned into a premier national location for heritage vehicles and all their support mechanisms (repairs, materials, insurance and all forms of practical support).

What fun we had! as Members from around the Sussex and Surrey south east region converged on The Crown at Dial Post for a lovely lunch organised by Owen Swinerd.
