NOTICES & CALENDAR
!!! POSTPONEMENT !!!!
This Wednesday's MMM Run is postponed and will now be on Wednesday 25th Feb - i.e. next week - a week later.
* Quite a number of those who attended the National Rally are now testing positive for Covid - local members, and from other centres. Simply - it's a very infectious virus.
* For those under the weather - best wishes and get well soon!
Updated details below. This is particularly disappointing as Pat Widdup from up north was going to to be with us in his 1930 M-Type!
ALSO - note the need for bookings for the ARA/polytech Club Night Dinner. See Thursday March 5th below.
