FORTHCOMING DATES FOR YOUR DIARY

Sunday Morning Members’ Meet-Up – 3rd March 2024. Meet from 10am. Baytree, Weston.

Seniors Lunch, Thatched Cottage, Sutterton now booking – 13th March

Drive It Day now booking – 21st April

Below is the original full calendar for 2024 but please note these changes:

Drive It Day is on 21 April (not as originally advertised). Please see Events. Also the 3rd March meet will be at Baytree rather than Waterside due to flooding at the Baston site which has temporarily closed the Waterside business. Similarly, the Sunday meet on 7th April will now be held at Westwood Lakes at Wyberton. There is also a trip to the Lotus factory now planned for 17th April as detailed in the February newsletter.

In relation to the various Shows, it is necessary to ask you to book places several weeks in advance. Please download the document below to get all the details or contact Graham Faulkner who can talk you through plans for Spalding Flower Parade (11th May), Baston (30th June) and Boston (11th August)

There’ll be a few more details on other events to follow in due course. Keep an eye on your monthly Newsletter for details of each event. We will be supporting Phab as our nominated charity for the year.

Thanks to Stuart Gibbard for kicking the 2024 events into gear with his extremely interesting talk on tractors and sports cars, majoring on the links between David Brown and Aston Martin.

Thanks also to Nigel & Joy Mann for an entertaining, if somewhat mind-numbing, quiz for the February clubnight.

2023 EVENTS ARCHIVE

Thanks to everyone who organised events across a very busy year, many of which raised valuable funds for LIVES.

December was Christmas Lunch at the excellent Black Horse at Baston.

November saw an array of events with a Sunday monring meet at Baytree on 5th, a Brunch meet at The Warehouse in Setchey on 19th and a talk by Stephen Brown for our clubnight on Tuesday 21st.

October’s clubnight was a visit to Witham Oil at Lincoln. Our thanks to Nigel Bottom and his team at Witham for an interesting evening.

September started with a Club gathering at Baytree at Weston (below) and was followed by a clubnight run to The Royal Oak at Heckington.

August was a busy month with Club meets at Waterside and New Lodge Farm, Bulwick kindly organised by Nigel & Joy Mann. In between we have had a Club stand at Boston Classic Car Show. Thanks to all who supported these events.

Thanks to those who supported our stand at Baston Show on 9 July and to the participants on our July clubnight run which finished at the Red Lion in Holbeach.

In June, we ran our Annual Classic Car Run in aid of charity; this year’s beneficiary was L.I.V.E.S. (see below). Also in June, we had an excellent visit to Bryan Bowles on 17 June, we were represnted at Holbeach Town & Country Fair across the weekend of 17/18 June and Steve Le Sage & team organised an excellent run from Baston on 25 June, albeit in very warm weather, before everyone enjoyed a hearty lunch at The Cholmoley Arms in Burton Le Coggles.

We had a stand at the Spalding Flower Parade on May 13th and a small group of members gathered at the Tydd Show the following day.

Our April social was well supported at The Crown in Surfleet and we had a good turnout for national ‘Drive It Day’ where we headed into the Lincolnshire Wolds, courtesy of Steve Saunders & Liz Bollons – there’s more about this on our Facebook page.

In February we had a talk by Assistant Coroner for Lincolnshire, Mr Paul Cooper, whilst in March we visited the Spalding Gentlemens Society after enjoying fish & chips at Sheddy’s. We also had our AGM (see below).

Our calendar for 2023 had kicked off with the a Sunday meet at Baytree Garden Centre on 8th January, closely followed by the first clubnight of the season – our annual clubnight quiz – on Tuesday 10th at Tigers’ Social Club in Holbeach. 

See the Events page and the monthly Newsletter for more information as it is released for the rest of 2023!

Annual Run 2023

Below is a link to photographs from our fantastic Annual Charity Classic Car Run held on 4 June 2023. Thank you to everyone involved with the event, especially organisers Alan & Jackie Aistrup, that was raising money for L.I.V.E.S.

AGM 2023

Our 2023 AGM passed by on Tuesday 28 March without drama: click below for the minutes: 

AGM EEMC SEECCC Minutes 2023

In summary, there were a few changes to Officers & Committee following the resignations of Neil & Pamela Williams, Ian Pollard and Phil Treversh.

Graham Faulkner was elected as a new Company Director and Trevor Overson has joined the Club Committee.

The Club made a loss in 2022 of £584 which was less than expected. We still managed to donate a very commendable £2452 to charity during the 50th year of East Elloe Motor Club, our parent club.

Chair Joy Mann expressed her grateful thanks to everyone who contributed to another successful year.

The 2024 AGM will be held on Tuesday 26 March.
