Happy New Year!
Welcome to 2026. The decorations are coming down and the dreaded cold spell has now arrived, so it's back to 'normal' for the UK!
Very little to report this month, except to say that the Christmas Luncheon was another great success, with 58 members and guests in attendance.
As you are aware, the Annual General Meeting is to be held on Sunday 25th January at 3 pm at the Banstead Day Centre, Banstead. If you have any topics you wish to raise, please let me know by Monday 5th January so I can prepare the agenda for the meeting. This will be sent to all club members by Sunday 18th January.
I look forward to seeing many of you on the 25th.

JANUARY 2026
And so 2026 is here and January brings cold days with little to cheer us, but we do have things to look forward to: We do not hold a Club Night in January, but we have the AGM on Sunday January 25th starting at 3pm at The Banstead Day Centre in The Horseshoe, Banstead SM7 2BQ. Light refreshments will be provided after the meeting, and should you have any topics you wish raised at the AGM you can email these to our Chairman Lindsay Armstrong at l.armstrong@virgin.net. This is your chance to have your say as to how your club is run, so come along, and let us know what you think!
Meanwhile, we are busy finalising the Events Calendar for 2026 which we hope to publish this month, and we are looking forward, the first ‘Club Event’ which will be Drive Your Classic Car Day; just 116 sleeps away from January 1st on April 26th. So, mark your calendars for this one!
And finally, the worst place to be a criminal getaway driver has to be in Dubai. Reportedly, the Dubai police department has more than a dozen supercars at its disposal, including the Bugatti Veyron, which has a top recorded speed of over 260 mph. If response times are as impressive as their vehicle specs, then that may go some way to explaining why Dubai has an extremely low crime rate.
See you all on the 25th
