THE END OF THE YEAR FAST APPROACHES!
The heat of the summer has long since faded into memory and we're left with storms, falling leaves, dampness and the dreaded clocks going back. Welcome to the tail end of autumn and the onset of winter. But just because the show season has finished doesn't mean we have to mothball our cars. On the 'London to Brighton' Veteran car run, members brought their classics out to celebrate these pioneers. Mind you, we took our celebrations into the Red Lion pub and toasted them from the comfort of a warm fire! So, get out when you can. You know it makes sense!
FINAL CALL FOR OUR CHRISTMAS EVENT
If you are still intending on joining fellow club members at our Christmas Luncheon on 5th December be aware that the cut-off date is 6th November as Tyrrell's Wood needs the figures and menu choices. Also be aware that we are very close to capacity and if you are intending on coming please book now as if 'capacity' is reached before 6th November, applications will not be accepted.
The date for the SCVC Annual General Meeting is set for Sunday 24th January 2027. More details will follow in future updates.
Club night will be on Friday 13th November at the Fairmile. There will also be a club night on Friday 11th December, which will be a 'Games and Quiz, night. More details next month.
As always, please read the update below from Phil and Jeannie and if you have any questions or queries please email phil@philmiller.co.uk or Jeannie.
I look forward to seeing many of you at Club Night on the 13th.

From our Events Organisers
November 2026
With the clocks now having retreated to GMT and the nights getting longer (and colder) there is not a great deal left in terms of events. We still have Club Night on the 13th of this month and of course there was the London to Brighton lunch on the 1st. But let’s not forget that Christmas is also just around the corner and we have the annual SCVC Christmas Luncheon on the 5th December – Places for this are filling fast so please be sure to book your place by 6th November. The price for this year has been discounted to just £35 per person (one club member and one partner/guest) and, after making your booking, please ensure that you transfer the requisite monies to the club account: SCVC, Sort Code: 60-24-28, Account 35096993, Ref: your name.
Meanwhile, the Events elves are busy working on the 2027 Events Calendar so once again, if there are any events that you feel we should attend, please let us know as we plan to release the calendar in January.
And finally, Britain drives on the left because of historic jousting traditions and the fact that Roman armies marched on the left to keep their right hand free for combat. There is however one famous exception where cabs have to drive on the right in Savoy Court. Just remember; Left is right and Right is wrong.
