At the AGM earlier this month we discussed some changes to our membership offering. So, we are now pleased to announce:

If you join or renew online there is no longer an administration fee.

We previously applied this fee to cover the additional costs the Club incurred for PayPal transactions, however in the interests of making it easier for people to join or renew without incurring an additional cost, this fee is now waived.

Web-Only Membership is now available to UK residents

We know many of you love receiving a printed magazine through your door, but if you're happy to read the mag online, UK residents can now get all the other benefits of Club membership for the price of £15.

Printed calendar now included in Web-Only Membership

We wanted to give Web-Only members even better value for money so from now UK and overseas Web-Only members will receive a copy of the Club calendar in the post each year.

So there's no better time to join us!

Thanks for coming to the 2016 AGM

Many thanks to everyone who came to the Club AGM on Sunday 2nd October.  It was a really constructive meeting with lots of positive ideas put forward for 2017, plus it was great to get another chance to look around the British Motor Museum.  Minutes will appear on the website shortly and in the next issue of Icsunonove.

We really do enjoy being members of Car Clubs; Sharon has the X1/9 Owners Club, of which she is the Regalia Officer. Ray has the GT-R Owners Club, of which he is an “Executive Member” – “something vaguely to do with the Committee”; and of course by no means last - we both belong to EYTCC.

So, it does mean that we need to attend our respective AGMs; that’s when it gets interesting because, apart from the EYTCC (which we miss this year due a GTROC Event) these are held “centrally” somewhere in the UK and involve organising a conveniently situated overnight stay.

This year the X1/9 OC AGM was at the Heritage Motor Museum, Gaydon near Coventry; a superb venue for anyone with an interest in Motor Vehicle Heritage; AND it coincided with the penultimate final “Fly By” by the last Vulcan “V” bomber: XH558. The place was completely “Sold Out” for this unique event.

The clue is in the name, yes, it was held in Devon, based around the Woolacombe Bay Holiday Park. This Holiday Park has a mixture of Holiday Chalets, Static caravans and Tents and is set in an area of great beauty with wooded valleys and fabulous walks.

This was my third X1/9 National, and Sharon’s - well over 10th - she has also organised at least one. 

They follow a distinct pattern; Friday, Meet and Greet in the Bar; Saturday, an organised run around the area with carefully planned “pit stops”, then in the evening a Dinner. On Sunday it is “Show and Shine” time, after which we all go to the Bar to hand out the various Awards. Sharon won “Best Car” this year – she had done a fantastic job with some new polish for the body and a different type for the “black work parts”.

After that it is “tyre kicking time” and gradually people drift away back home.
