Club AGM and Dinner/Dance on Saturday 17th February 2007 at the
Stratford on Avon Holiday Inn Hotel |
|
|
| |
 |
|
The AGM will be held on Saturday 17th February 2007 at
the Stratford on Avon Holiday Inn Hotel, starting at 4pm, for club
members only. This will be followed by the dinner/dance at 7.30pm for
8pm, starting with a champagne reception. This year, we feel it is right to
'force' the lads to make a similar effort to the girls and is thus a black
tie event. We appreciate that one or two members may be travelling without
a DJ and they will of course be welcome in lounge suits (with ties!). We are
delighted that Don Law is bringing the Roadrunner rock band. |

Autosport International, 11 - 14 January 2007
Group
C/GTP Racing had a fairly massive presence at Autosport International with no
less than SIX Group C cars (a third of the whole display!) on the main feature,
The British at Le Mans, which promoted BEN (the Motor and Allied Trades
Benevolent Fund). Many thanks to Charlie Agg and Group C, Henry Pearman and
Roger Heavens, Jim Graham and On-Time, Toyota and Jaguar and Daimler Heritage
Trust for loaning and transporting the cars.
Two other Group C/GTP Racing member families helped with the Le Mans
'event' namely Andrew Smith's father, Esmond, who loaned their Lola T70 for the
display and Penny Graham who loaned the Jaguar E2A, the 1960 Cunningham
prototype D Type/E Type for the dinner display. Both activities helping the
Club's good relationship with Haymarket.
The Group C/GTP Racing Stand
The Stand was managed by the new promotions company, ably
assisted by the new race administrator, Ian Dawson, and a number of directors,
who reported great interest in the 2007 racing season. Many thanks to Henry
Pearman for the loan of the Nissan and Don Law for the loan of the Jaguar
XJR10, both of which looked stunning.

Display
Fortunately Jim Graham
has a very close relationship with Haymarket Exhibitions and BEN and, in
addition to promoting the presence of Group C cars on the Le Mans display, was
able to arrange for some stars of the Group C period to 'perform' at the
special Le Mans dinner on Saturday night. This dinner was also supported by
Motorsport Magazine, Motors TV and Hilton Racing.
Indeed with some judicious co-operation with Haymarket
we ended up with a huge Group C area of nearly 60 people promoting the cause!
Many thanks to Thierry Boué for loaning his 1988 championship winning
Spice which took pride of place at the dinner and thanks to Phil Stott for
transporting it.
You will see many
of the Group C stars in the photographs (link below) and this group included
Ray Mallock, Hugh Chamberlain, Win Percy, Johnny Herbert, Mark Blundell, Andy
Wallace, Derek Bell, Richard Lloyd, Gordon Spice, Graham Humphrys, Tony
Southgate, David Brabham and Mike Wilds.
