**CANCELLED**Southern Area Pub Meet
contact Michael Drakeford on 01903 872197
Dear Members,
It is with great regret that I have had to cancel the Wisborough Green pub meet booked for 19th April. For the first time in 18 years, we will not be there to enjoy the friendship of fellow members and ambiance of a true English pub.
The other planned South Area events for 2020 are on hold until we get the all-clear from the powers that be. The next two scheduled are the trip to the Weald and Downland Living Museum, organised by Nigel Walder, and the Brooklands Festival of Motorsport, both in June. It seems likely that they will not take place, but if they are available, and we are not still cocooned in our homes, we hope to be there. We will keep you informed
Do keep yourselves well, and we expect your cars to be well looked after and sparkling clean for our next meeting.
With best wishes.
Michael and Georgina Drakeford

LAGONDA CLUB NORTHERN DINNER & EVENT - this event will be on Friday the 15th of May, and will, as always, be held at Monk Fryston Hall - NOW DINNERS CAN BE BOOKED AND PAID FOR ON THE CLUB WEB SITE - SHOP SECTION AND NORTHERN DINNER TAB. 07-03-2020.
(01977 682369, LS25 5DU). Nigel Hall is again the organiser and he can be contacted on
[email protected] There will almost certainly be some short tours of local attractions arranged around the
date, and details will be advised in later Newsletters.
Tour of the Pyrenees, 31st May to 10th June 2020, commencing and finishing in Portsmouth. Closing date for applications was Tuesday 3rd December but check......with Rodney. ORGANISED BY RODNEY SAUNDERS, JONATHAN OPPENHEIMER AND NIGEL WALDER.
Also, in the past members have regularly taken part in the Fougères Rally organised by our old friend Patrick Rollet,
which this year take place between the 5th and 8th June. Note that the correct link to book with Brittany Ferries for
the Fougères Rally is: http://www.brittany-ferries.co.uk/appf20
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.
Open this link for more details https://www.classicgt.co.uk/all-events/chinon-classic/. Anyone who is interested please
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
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.
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.
THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the LAGONDA CLUB LTD from 11.00 - 12.00 IN THE WOKEFIELD PARK HOTEL - HELD AS PART OF THE ANNUAL GATHERING.
HEAR REPORTS, ASK YOUR QUESTIONS - BUT JOIN IN - OFTEN STANDING ROOM FOR THE LAST FEW ATTENDEES!
