We’d also like to thank David Norfolk for all he has done with raffles on our Talks Evenings and Mel Goodworth is now taking on the raffle challenge. On 14 November, Harry Sherrard hosts 40 Years of Formula 1 with Maurice Hamilton. Then, on 12 December, motorsport journalist David Tremayne is in conversation with Steve Cropley. During 2020, we will continue the successful format of ‘Classic Talks and MotorSport Legends’ but with a twist. We will be looking at teams, team mangers and engineers with a fantastic story to tell. These dates will be confirmed. We also believe that our ‘Project 240, The Vickers Story’ will foster more Talks.
