There are plenty of events open to all classic cars which involve some Club members.
One such event is the Chinon-Classic 2020 from 18th June to 22nd June. The organisers have about 8 places left (but could possibly take
more). From the point of the weather it is held at a good time of year and is intended as a convivial non-competitive gathering of mainly pre-war classic cars touring on attractive French roads in the Loire valley, including a drive
through the centre of Chinon itself. £2,300 per couple including ferry crossing and 3 nights accommodation.

get in touch with Charles Good at: [email protected] for further details.
JOINT LAGONDA CLUB VISIT WITH THE RAPIER CLUB, TO THIS VIBRANT MUSEUM, WITH AN OPPORTUNITY FOR AN EXCELLENT CAR RUN TO THIS VENUE!
LAGONDA CLUB Spares & Board Meetings Wednesday 22nd July 2020
Capturing the atmosphere of a Brooklands race day, the new style Brooklands Relived sees us take a step back in time to the heyday of the track.
The site will be filled with the actual cars, motorcycles and bicycles that raced here from 1907-1939. We will also be welcoming other pre-War vehicles, which will be parked up, as spectators’ vehicles would have been on race days.
There will be plenty of action on site as well, including Test Hill ascents, "Race Starts" on the restored Finishing Straight, Aircraft Fly-ins and parade laps on the Finishing Straight.
INCLUDES THE 'ROBBIE HEWITT LAGONDA TROPHY' JUDGING AND PRESENTATION
The Kings Arms at Ombersley. Pub opens at 11.00 but generally meeting from 12.00 - this Pub meet has good parking, and the Pub has good food and proper Ale!
Organised by Robin and Jennifer Balmain call on 01531 640 166 or on Mobile 07816 668 065
A regular annual event is the Continental Rally, which
takes place at the end of August, and which is organised by a different member each year - in 2020 it will be held
around Graz in Austria (over 800 miles from Calais !), and is usually an exceptional few days (27th - 30th August). If
you would like to go, please contact Corrinna Grossauer ([email protected]). The deadline is the 28th
February, but I do not know if there are still places available.
*** NEW INFO 4TH APRIL 2020 **
Dear Member,
As a result of the current global pandemic, and with the uncertainty surrounding how long the aftermath may last, most Lagonda events during the next month or two have sadly been cancelled by their organisers.
Your Board has been discussing the prospects for our Annual Gathering (which includes the Club’s AGM), which has been planned to take place on 26th and 27th September at Wokefield Park.
Clearly there must now be some uncertainty as to whether it will be possible for this event to take place, although we are, of course, legally obliged to hold an AGM. We believe that, with the environment changing so rapidly from day to day, it is too early to make any firm decisions about something which is still nearly six months away.
In the weeks to come, we shall be watching events as they unfold, and once the picture becomes clearer, we will be in touch again. In any event, a decision will be made before the Annual Accounts (which will include the Notice for the AGM) are sent to you in July.
In the meantime, stay safe, practice separation, and let us hope that we all come through this trial. Then let us look forward to meeting again under happier circumstances.
Kind regards
Nigel Smeal

Annual Gathering - the Club's premier event will be held on the traditional weekend of the 26th and 27th of September 2020
and it will again be organised by Nigel Smeal, supported by Len Cozzolino. The venue will, as for the last few years, be at Wokefield Park, where we enjoyed a very successful couple of days in 2019 (spoilt only a little by the weather!), and we hope to arrange something interesting for the Saturday afternoon, following the drive to visit Basildon Park last year.
