Letter: 7th January 2023

Dear Members

Firstly a thank you to those of you who sent me Christmas cards and also to those who sent them to the Society collectively and best wishes to everyone for good health and a happy 2023.

Also a huge thankyou to the vast majority of members who have renewed their Membership.  It has been difficult with the postal strikes and the gap in meetings.  If you still have to do this please do so on Monday night or Tuesday at the Museum.

Two rooms have become available for the Weekend Rally to Swaffham, Norfolk which takes place on April 14th-16th at £200 per person.  If you ae interested and would like more information please contact Mike on 07801609941. These weekends are great fun and include places of interest to visit.

Do we have any registered electricians among our number?  We need such a person with the correct equipment and experience to check out and test the use of the generators we will be using at the Pageant.  Need to be available 26th, 27th, 28th May.  Please contact Judith or Keith if you can help or know of someone we can approach.

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Judith

Letter: 7th November 2022

Dear all

October seems to have been one of the busiest months at the Museum and I think November will be pretty busy too as we build up to Christmas.

If you are coming to the Museum during this wet period, please be advised that the flooding in Whitewebbs Road is really severe at present.  Certainly not the time to be in a classic or low vehicle.  It is worse from the Crews Hill entry so please take great care and maybe avoid approaching from that direction.

Thank you to those of you have already paid your subs renewal.  Please keep them coming.

Some reminders about November:

14th November will be an illustrated talk by Colin Spong

14th November is the last date for bookings and deposits for the Carvery meal at the Woodman on the 23rd November at 6.45 for 7.00pm Postal code is AL9 7TT. There are currently 35 going so it should be a good evening.

28th November is the AGM and any proposals/questions/committee nominations must reach the Museum by the 17th November. Members must check in with the membership secretary and should have membership cards to hand (or on your phone). I hope we will have a good attendance.  This is your chance to hear reports about the work of the Trustees and the Museum finances.

Please sign up for the Christmas Social on 12th December or text me on 07852804465 if you would like to come. Partners and volunteers are welcome.

I know that several members are poorly at present and wish them a speedy recovery.  Unfortunately, Eleanor is currently in hospital and we hope that she will soon be out. She continues to be her positive self.

Take great care

Every good wish

Judith
