Meeting of the Internet Forum Group - 17th July 05

Having 'chatted' on the AMOC Website Forum pages, it was great to get together and find out who the people behind the 'Names' really are. Tom and Barbara had come over from America. I now know why he uses the name Deathray! Everyone else currently lives in the UK - as well as English we had Italian and Swiss folk. I think there were about 30 of us present.

Cars on the drive
Late comers had to park along the drive.

First Andy Bell's talk about Bunny and how the car was used in competition to raise the profile of the company and get people buying along with info on the happenings of 1935 and Gordon Sutherland.

Then Dr Keith Martin who used to be a project manager at Aston and produced the Bulldog.

Finally, David Such on what is needed to start circuit racing. We then went outside to look at his race car.

After lunch, we went off to some gardens. The custodian kindly took in all the signs etc so we could take photos on the front lawn. I've moved this photo to its own page as it needed to be larger than would fit here! Click the link at the bottom of the page.

11 of us stayed for dinner and we then sat on the terrace and played 98 and holding, a card game which had us all laughing.

A great day. Hopefully we can have this as an annual event.
