Secretary's Scribble
WE have learnt that the Clone Valley Railway where we were on 19th April has to vacate the land by the end of the year, a big jog with all that kit even if they do find a piece of land big enough. I don't envy them the task of moving.
We have had our own problems with our web site in that the person who looked after it at a modest cost has been told by       their accountant to wind up the computer side of the business.     We were put onto another chap but costs were many times         what we were paying. However after an appeal at a Club             meeting one of the members was confident that he could run       things for us. And so it has worked out and we are indebted         to this member.
Last month's talk Since records Began by Bill Clark took us       through sound recording from wax cylinders right through to     CD's with demonstrations of the sounds and visual                       projections to complement them. A really interesting and  enjoyable evening.
A few more event have been added under "Other Events" - make your own arrangements

Well into March and preparing for the coming season with our first event at the Colne Valley Railway on the 19th April just around the corner. And then they follow on thick and fast!!
Just a not about keeping us informed if you have entered for an event and then find you cannot attend.
Details of a new event along the Ipswich Waterfront on July       19th, could be the start of  something new!
    Last month's meeting we had the return of an old favourite         "The Feelie Bags" where small  everyday motoring items are     put in a cloth bag and you have to guess what they are by
    feel. There was one bag with domestic items in to keep the         ladies happy!! Very entertaining.
     This month we have our Mini Auction where anything can         be entered and lot forms were enclosed with the Newsletter.       As usual grubby items must be     protected, we don't want         any cleaning bills from the RHYC!!
   The May Supper will have a World War II theme as it is the      70th Anniversary of the end of the war this year. At our party
   20 years ago to celebrate the 50th     Anniversary, we had
   some 80  people attend and only a handful were not dressed in    period costume of some sort. Can we do it again??

Last Newsletter of 2014! Not a bad year overall! Some heavy rain which caused problems but it could have been worse.
The Hurricane Run was brilliant! Well organised, I thought we were going to be rushing from here to there but it all worked very well with plenty of time to get from car to train to boat and back to train and car with meals slotted unhurriedly in-between. Mind you a long day starting at 9am from the meeting point and arriving home at gone 7.30 pm and it only rained in the last 10 minutes, damm!
Good news, the annual subs to stay at £14!!
The picture quiz last month, loads of answers, well two actually and both right.
Coming up, AGM, Christmas Social, 2015.

The Annual Dinner on 22nd November went extremely well, the best we have had. We have booked here again for next year!
Superb draw proceeds to go to EACH.
Reminder that Secretary has been in post 25 years and that the December 2014 Newsletter was his 300 edition. Considering that he took over on a temporary basis in 1989 when the duly elected Secretary failed to show for two months and was never seen again, that's not a bad record!
2015 programme now on page 8 of the Newsletter, some 28 events to get involved in and that's just the ones we are making the arrangements for it doesn't include any that members make their own arrangements for.

Only the Hurricane Run left in the Programme of Events.
Editor went on a trip to Buckingham Palace and on the way passed the Tower of London and saw the remembrance poppies in the moat, very moving and impressive sight and had to put a picture of this on the front cover of the November issue of the Newsletter.
On the same theme we have to report the passing of three members in this issue as well.
September's Club night, A Photographic Pot -Pouri went off very well. October we have a talk about the 94th Bomb Group at Rougham Airfield in world was two. November is our AGM and the Agenda for this is included in the Newsletter. There are vacancies on the Committee so don't be shy in coming forward and having a go.
The Christmas Social is on 11th December and a chit is enclosed for you to book your place.

Stonham Barns was acracker of a show with probably 600 plus vehicles on show. We had a showe or wto yes, but not as bad as last month. Then Lavenham Rare Breeds, started out dry but was raining by the time we got there and did not let up all day. About 40% of normal turnout, a great shame for the organisers as this is normally a very good show. We had 23 out of 51 turn up. It was all but over by 3.30 pm.
Our August meal at the Wooden fender was very nice but not as well attended as usual, probably due to the fact that the price had gone up a fair bit.
Saturday 30th August we were at Cavendish Fete, a real country event (but rivalled this year by Rendham back in July) with everyone from the village joining in, and they got the weather right!

Heavy storm at Flixton meant we had to leave the site via 9" of flood water, other than that a good day. Tornado at Mildenhall Rally! means not very well supported and event curtailed early! Our visit to the Suffolk Aviation Heritage Museum was very interesting and well attended.
The main event of the month was the Helmingham Festival of Classic & Sports Cars at Helmingham Hall. We had excellent weather and the exhibitors and the public rolled in. Two sessions of Concourse Runs were held down the main drive and the crowd thrilled to see the cars in action. In excess of 800 cars were on display on site together with craft and trade stalls, bands and music groups, birds of prey demonstrations and other entertainments. Plus all the usual refreshments etc. A really good day and we are hopeful that we have raised in excess of £4,000 for the East Anglia's Children's Hospice's. We shall see.

The good weather has not lasted we have had partially wet events of late both at Rendham and Long Melford. Although at Melford the Club did take home some tin ware in that we were awarded both pre and post war best cars.
Last months meeting at Buxhall Bygones was very enjoyable and nostalgic once we got there - a bit off the beaten track!! A very enjoyable slice of cake a cuppa too!
August is our meal out month and we shall be at the Wooden Fender at Ardleigh, Essex, meal order forms were in last months Newsletter.
This is also the month of our Annual Rally on Sunday 3rd and we need lots of help with marshalling both the display cars and the Concourse Runs. Also bucket shaking to raise funds for the Children's Hospices

Our first event of the season was a cracker, the Drive it Day run to Rendlesham for a trip on the Buckland vintage buses, shown on the cover of our Newsletter. Superbly enjoyable day with a great pub lunch to boot!!
The Mini Auction went really well making lots of cash for Club funds and everyone having a fun time.
For the summer months we will be going on runs and the first in June is a visit to the Buxhall Bygones Collection near Stowmarket.
Still more events being added to our programme.

March 2014 Newsletter Notes

Secretary's Scribble
Last months meeting the talk by member Rod Satchwell was very interesting and very well attended. Rod brought out a lot of facts & data linking motoring and aviation in the early days,  some of which I had forgotten, some I never knew but all very interesting.
February's talk, "Wheels of Ipswich" promises to be another good one. Given by Brian Dyes of Ipswich Transport Museum, it is the story of the role transport played in the development of the Town over the last few hundred years.
And for our March meeting we have our Chairman giving his Photo, Pictorial Recognition Evening.. Now exactly what this involves I have no idea because he's not letting on! All I know is that he wants the digital projector and screen. So come along and see what its all about.
One member at least has tried our new advertiser mentioned last month and was very pleased with the service, so you know where to go for your parts.

February 2014 Newsletter Notes

Secretary's Scribble
Event organisers are busy getting things underway for 2014 and we are no different. Our Programme is arranged and our multi-Entry Form is enclosed with this Newsletter allowing you to enter for 20 + events on one form! How good is that!
Also enclosed is the Helmingham Festival of Sports & Classic Cars event on August 3rd entry form, and entry is free if you are an S.V.E.C. member.
The Christmas party went well with a superb meal supplied by the RHYC and sweets by our sandwich ladies, all very nice.
Please note. Motormania of Woodbridge Road, Ipswich is no more. They did not renew their advert with us this year and when I drove past the premises a few weeks ago the place was empty. We have a new advertiser to take their place, Eastern Auto Spares, Queens Way, Ipswich who sell a similar range of spares etc to Motormania if not better, so please give them your custom, and remember to show your current membership card top get 10% discount and let them know you are from S.V.E.C. This makes it easier for me when its time to sell the ads next year.

January 2014 Newsletter Notes

Secretary's Scribble
The Annual Dinner and Awards, and the A.G.M, both in November went off well.
We had 61 people at the Dinner which was probably the best meal we have had! And we raised £150 for Children In Need through the draw. Well done everybody! We have booked there for next years meal!
At the A.G.M. 36 members signed in, about the norm, and everything went smoothly with all posts being filled except the Vice Chairman's, nobody seemed to want that post, pity.
Following the A.G.M. our newly elected Events Co-ordinator outlined his plans for the event programme for 2014.
Then we had a brain curdling quiz to get the "little grey cells" going.

December 2013 Newsletter Notes

Secretary's Scribble
Disappointment at the October meeting. our planned speaker, Brian Dyes, was unable to attend. At short notice we were able to slot in Brian Aket who gave us a talk on Cigarette and Trade Cards and put emphasis on those dealing with motoring aspects and very interesting it was to. We know Brian from ten years or more ago when we used to out on a car display at Horringer School where he was then Head Master.
A reminder about getting your chittie in for the Christmas Party meal.
And a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the Committee.

November 2013 Newsletter Notes

Secretary's Scribble
Last months Hurricane Run started in the wet but we had 95% turn out which was good and sunshine followed later in the day. full report later in the Newsletter.
A previous Heritage Weekend turnout however was disappointing with only 30% turnout and that on a bright day but with a bad forecast!
November's meeting is our AGM. Come along and have a say on how your club is run.
following that in early December we have our Christmas party starting with a hot dish and Christmas favourites for sweets.

October 2013 Newsletter Notes

Secretary's Scribble
Last month's meal at the Wooden Fender was really good with 43 of us enjoying an excellent meal and convivial company. A really competitively priced meal.
On Monday 2nd september we held a presentation ceremony at Helmingham Hall when we presented Vanessa Bell from EACH with a cheque for £4,250, the proceeds from last months event at Helmingham hall. in fact a further £150 came in later so £4,400 was the true amount.

September 2013 Newsletter Notes

Secretary's Scribble
Numbers down on last month's run to Aldeburgh for Fish & Chips but then the Secretary did not make it. he only got as far as Snape when a float in one of the the carbs on his Armstrong sunk necessitating a lift back to Ipswich to get a spare!
The following Saturday was the Motoring Show at Easton Farm Park, not such a busy affair as usual but enjoyable.
Then came the big one, August 4th, our Annual Rally combined with the Helmingham Festival of Classic & Sports Cars. By mid day over 800 cars were on display and the place was heaving with visitors.
Many thanks to all who helped out on the day.
The weather held, the exhibitors came, the crowds came, a very enjoyable day. lets hope we were able to make a lot of money for our charity, the East Anglia's Children's Hospices.

February 2013 Newsletter Notes

Secretary's Scribble
The Christmas Party went very well with 50 people enjoying the evening. No Father Christmas this year but we did have a large sack for people to select their draw prize from! One couple did not make it because they were perfoming a Good Samaritans act on the way and by the time they had finished helping the stranded lady it was too late to consider coming. That's typical of our members.
