February - Plymouth Motor Club

Speed. If you have not heard the Land owners are looking to improve the sitebefore running the event again so it will not be running this year but hopefully itwill be all systems go for 2014, watch this space for more details, or keep an eyeon the Pentillie festival of Speed website for news and where they have got lotsof links to video footage of last year’s event which makes for interesting viewing.Coming up soon is our annual AGM this is your chance to come and have yoursay as to how we are running the club and to offer to help.As usual we are in need of some fresh faces on the Committee, we have recentlyhad Jay Brown and Kevin Moyes join which is good but we could do with a fewmore to help organise things and come up with new ideas and opinions so if youare interested or want to know more then please let me or Alan Tomes know.One thing you may have noticed is that our Club Website has had an update anda fresh new look, not only that but we also have a Facebook page and even aTwitter Account, (Whatever one of those is!) courtesy of Jennie Locke who hastaken over from Barry Chapman who has been looking after the Website for thepast 3 years or so, Many Thanks Barry.So go and have a look at it and please let us know what your thoughts are.One thing that has become very noticeable over the past few years is how fewpeople actually take paper copies of event regulations and results, most peopleare now downloading them or using email for them, however it seems to be theopposite for the Magazine as most people like a Paper copy so they can read itwhere ever they want.This is causing much discussion at Committee as the Club have a Photocopier /Printer that is getting used less and less and it is coming to the point where wewonder if it is worth the club having one. One thing that does help is if we doexternal printing jobs so if you have regular or small print run or newsletter thenplease think of the Club as it will help us to keep the Clubs costs down.Well that is about all I can think of for now expect to say I hope that you allhave a good year and I hope to see you out at PMC events over the year and ifyou want an event run then please let us know and we will see what can be done.Bye for now.James EllisonPage 6 www.plymouthmotorclub.co.uk February 2012
