Okay I am now able to catch up with our new members since July, and it is gratifying to see so many new names joining our ranks, plus a few lapsed members making the move back. A warm welcome to you all:

Aurevoir and Arrivederchi
Not strictly under new members but we say goodbye and good luck to Ross and Sue Savile (and Bump due in the early part of 2006) who emigrated to New Zealand at the beginning of September. They have found a house and are settling in. I am sure when he has set up his internet connection, Ross will be popping into the club forum from time to time. Apparently he has already been exploring the local motorsport facilities so it would be good to have some “down under” perspective.
Also longstanding members Geoff and Val Turner who moved to Spain last year have made the move permanent. Despite a few setbacks at the start, all seems to be going well. We hope to hear from them at a later date. Good luck Geoff and Val.
