THOSE EAGLE-EYED, will have noticed we are not producing an event for Drive-It-Day, on Sunday 23rd April. My predecessors have created and provided some excellent SLOC Drive-It-Days, but the support, from most of you, has waned and been close to woeful. There are hundreds of such events all over the country and we believe it will benefit you; the car and SLOC, if you support your local Drive-It-Day. You will most likely be the only Sunbeam in the event. Interest in the car will be great. You’ll enjoy the interaction and maybe a current or ex Sunbeam owner, may wish to join SLOC?
In the past, I’ve not been shy in sharing my disappointment at the notice given and information provided regarding SLOC events. Whilst many of you have shown your appreciation, irrespective of the circumstances. Most of you have used this as an excuse not to bother. So, we’re listening and reacting. In the excited hope, that attendance for all our events will be a good day out. NO; I understand and accept it’s not perfect. But I’m only a Knobber from Hampshire doing his best, for a car I’ve always loved and some wonderful friends I’ve met along the way.
Whilst it would be fantastic if you could support many of the above days out. If you do have to focus? Please make our AGM and National Day your priorities.
The Club Lotus Track Day does what it says on the tin and is an ideal opportunity to enjoy some fantastic May weather in beautiful Wiltshire.
SLOC National Day is at Classic Nostalgia; an event SLOC have never been to. Please have a look at their website. It promises to be a lovely day out for classic car enthusiasts and the family. Yes; there will be other events and commitments for 23rd July. BUT, you do have seven months’ notice. So please do your very best to come along and support your Club.
