March Monthly Meeting Summary

We a very warm welcome to everyone this evening with 29 bodies along to tonight's meeting at Boness Motor Museum. A special hello to Mr and Mrs MacDonald and Iain Carse new members and have joined us in the last few weeks a warm welcome to the club.

A big thank you to Andy Bennetts this evening for bringing his laptop and projector along this evening and Andy showed us the Hartech video and a very interesting and entertaining slide show on his and Jenny's visit to the Alps in his Cayman GTS. Some stunning scenery along the way Andy I have to say everyone enjoyed your presentation and commentary of the holiday to what looked to be absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Once again a big thank you for entertaining us this evening.

We went through the diary of events for the year and a slight change to The Jim Clark Rally Museum visit this will now be on the 8th of May instead of the 1st of May as it clashes with the Edinburgh Gumball 3000 event on the 1st of May. The Jim Clark visit will also be a lunch prior to the museum visit and details and timings etc will be to follow. The diary of events list has been updated and resent along with these minutes.
