Where have the weeks gone this year, I am miles behind on event reporting, so here we go for 2016.<\/p>\n

This was our 9th year at the \u2018Hotel Miramar\u2019 where we celebrated the past seasons events, and awarded the prizes to the members for their hard work in the centre, and the Concours.
\nWe also planned to have a great evening as well whilst doing it, with friends and colleagues.<\/p>\n

Our guests this year were our \u2018National Chairman\u2019 John Keener, and our \u2018Vice President\u2019 Joe Cox. This year our \u2018Centre President\u2019 Peter Healey was on holiday, but we hope to see him next year.<\/p>\n

As usual we started at 3pm with \u2018Afternoon Tea\u2019 in the Lounge, where 46 members relaxed and caught up with friends. Our centre is very wide spread, and this event starts the new season, and gives everyone the chance to see what is on offer through the year.<\/p>\n

The main event started at 6.30pm and was held in the \u2018Garden Room\u2019 which has its own bar and gives access to the dining room. I gave my customary welcome to all and thanked our guests for coming along. We had 7 tables to seat 60 people, which worked very well and the food and service was excellent as usual, with the table wine flowing well.<\/p>\n

Our trophy awards were presented by John Keener and went to:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Jersey Group receive the Salver<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In June the New Forest Centre led by David Tofts & Jo Barratt invaded the \u2018Jersey Festival of Motoring\u2019 with a selection of 15 cars from our club. During the days of the event, there was a car show, and our group were awarded a Silver Salver for \u2018Best Club Car Stand\u2019.<\/p>\n

We took the opportunity to gather a few of the members that went, and John Keener presented the Salver to David Tofts on behalf of the group.<\/p>\n

Our raffle is always well supported by both Sponsors and our members, and we thank them all very much for their continued support which enables the event to progress and grow year on year. Our lead sponsor was again Bill Rawles Classic Cars, and was backed up by Ahead 4 Healeys and Rawles Motorsport.<\/p>\n

After the raffle the Disco commenced, and the dancing continued until late, after which a few hardy souls repaired to the bar. \u00a0Sunday morning brought a calmer day, so after a good breakfast people either said their goodbyes, or went for a stroll along the prom before heading home.<\/p>\n

Whilst the pen is flowing, 2017 is a \u2018BIG YEAR\u2019 for our centre, as we will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the formation of what we now know as the \u2018New Forest Centre\u2019. \u00a0Our Dinner Dance is already booked for the 18th February at the Miramar, so get those rooms booked. We also have a special day at \u2018Bucklers Hard\u2019 on 15th July, so watch the press.<\/p>\n

Our committee have aimed, within our 3 year plan, to give the members as much benefit as we can in providing special events. This has been welcomed by the members, and the gaining of some terrific sponsorship will enable us to provide that extra something in 2017, so we trust we can continue the theme in future years.<\/p>\n

Now, which event is next to write up!!<\/p>\n
