Ten differentraces are held for every age and type of car, including vintage Bugatti’s – genuine £1mcars, racing wheel to wheel, plus everything else from muscle cars to Minis.

Mary & David Rumens

• Dave & Mary Rumens have decided to withdraw from their car club sceneactivities and focus on their retirement, there is no underlying reasonother than a life style change. This means that Dave has stepped down asDeputy Group Leader and Social Scene organiser for KVG as well as he andMary stepping down from their roles at the TSSC. They will attendmeetings occasionally as time allows.

• I am sure you will join me in saying a BIG thank you to both of them fortheir input and support to the KVG and that they will be missed and welook forward to seeing them at future meetings. We all wish them wellinto a very enjoyable retirement.

• Lastly, any volunteers for the vacated roles please.
