For those of you that don't know the club has two awards which it presents every year. There are lots of unsung heroes out there who do a great job for the club and its members. Working voluntary and making sacrifices so we can all get the maximum enjoyment from our cars and the social side of ownership.

The Drury and Philips award goes to the member of the year, and the Regional Organiser of the year award to an RO.

The Drury and Philips award goes to Paul Bird of the Central region.

Paul finalises the clubs accounts, runs a region, organises several National events as well as a full social calendar for the Central Region. It's also fair to say he hasn't been in the best of health over the last 6 months which he has kept quiet about (the dodgy walk might have been a give away though). Thanks mate you've been tremendous and it was a pleasure to present you with the new trophy.

The RO of the year award goes to Gordon Collins.

Gordon has done a great job with the Southern Region doubling it's membership during 2007. His enthusiasm and ability to scrounge and pester is second to none. There is a great spirit in the camp and the funday is one example of a region pulling together to make an event happen. Unfortunately he wasn't at Gaydon last week so I presented the trophy at the funday today, for once he had nothing to say.

I have a few other thank you's to make for people who have also helped a great deal in 2007 and continue to do so.

Jim Tarrant (Guru) as well as being Gordon's assistant, has done a fantastic job with the forum and website since it's introduction in late 2007. He beavers away behind the scenes and makes sure it all ticks over with the least amount of fuss. Constantly fine tuning and adding new features to make the site even better. Cheers mate, on behalf of everyone who uses the site.


Clive Gosling has done a great job with advertising and sponsorship. Without his persistance last years show would have been a financial flop and he did a fantastic job again this year. He lives quite close to me and is a source for much needed support and encouragement, thanks Pal.

Congratulations to both. I don't know Gordon personally, but am aware of his forum presence. I wholeheartedly agree with Paul's award. The club would miss a certain "something" without him.

Well done again to both of you - thoroughly deserved.

I haven’t heard anyone use the word bostin’ in years. Brings a tear to the eye, that does.

Agreed on all fronts though—a well deserved award for Paul (cheers for coming over to say hi at Gaydon—Jen might not have remembered you from Bruntingthorpe, but I did!) and for Gordon too. Sorry we didn’t make it to the funday Gordon—we had to be back in Glasgow yesterday for me to make it in to work today. Maybe next year?

I'll add my congratulations to both.
Haven't made it to either region but have seen that both are active in promoting events and the club.
Good job, well done.

He was pretty quiet on Sunday when I presented it, first time I've seen Gordon speechless. :D

Well deserved to everyone.

There is an incredible amount of hard work going on behind the scenes and I don't know how you guys keep going.

The club is fantastic as a result.

I would like to say a massive thank you for the award and for all the kind words. Its much appreciated.

I would add a personal thank you for Brian Rowledge who has worked incredibly hard to make Central Region's calendar entertaining and has to take much credit, particularly for this year's WOTY.

Finally thanks to everyone that has attended club nights and events with Brian and I over the last year - its the social gatherings and banter that make it all worthwhile. :thumbup:

Been away so missed this..

Congratulation to both the deserving parties, I can only comment directly on Paul from attending the central meeting and have to say he is doing a great job of the region.
Plenty of things going on and a great ambassador for the club...
