July 2008 Centenary Year - Plymouth Motor Club

Chairman’s Chat July 2008
Welcome to summer sun is shining and the grass is growing. Talking
about grass, the Autotest organised by Wayne Grimshaw it had 12 entries
and after much handbrake turns saw cars slide gently into garages.
A little bird tells me that Andy Pearce double drove John Slumans
car and had a smile from ear to ear as his enthusiasm for
Autotesting was rekindled. Well done to James Meaner who won the
event.
The tarmac Autotest at Marsh Mills was richly attended with almost
as many spectating as were competing. After much competition and
fun the event was finally won by Peter Kelsey in the Green Machine.
Summer Ball on June 28 th is fast approaching. The tickets will be sent
out shortly. Terry Thorne has kindly agreed to take photographs of
groups/ couples upon their arrival. Guests will be welcomed from 6pm
and we will all be seated to start the celebrations by 6.45pm.
There is a photo shoot at Tesco’s car park, Lee Mill on Saturday 14 th
June at 7.30pm and we have 3 local cars with their drivers giving up
their valuable time to advertise the fact that PMC engages with charities
to help them fundraise.
Saturday and Sunday, 21 st and 22 nd , June between 10am and 4pm at
Tesco’s Lee Mill, is the PMC car show. This is in partnership with
Tesco to show a variety of competition cars owned by PMC members
and friends of the club. The event will be run in aid of Dame Hannah
Rogers School, near Ivybridge, and we thank Tesco for their on-going
support and for providing the venue. The event could be further aided
by members’ support who could give a small amount of time and tell
interested folk about the club, race and rally social events. If you can
spare some time, please contact Sean Drewitt chief marshal
07756655150.
Regards
Lynn Palmer.
