Billing 2014 Report, Billing 2013 Report, Billing 2012 Report, Billing 2011 Report, Billing 2010 Report,
What an event Billing turned out to be - we had a fantastic line up of cars on the stand, we had some new member’s making their first trip to
Billing as well as the regulars in attandance. We also had several member’s who travelled long distance to be with us, from Peter Dockerty coming
from Ireland to teh Ruby Runner’s who had travelled all teh way from one end of Britian to the other before comming to Billing.
Kevin Bricknall once again did the Club and VBOA proud with his interview on BBC Radio Northampton. It was also very pleasing for me to see the
Club Chairman with Chalkie the Cavalier (who was making his first ever apperance at Billing) and Vince’s first outing to Billing since 2003. This
year the auction had some very special prizes raning from a new Playstation 3 and iPod Nano (which was very kindly donated by Mark and Gillian
Sweetman) as well as other prizes from members, we really did the club proud with the auction which was held by Marilyn and Colin Scott who I
would like to once again to thank for doing this for me.
We had the larhets turnout of Club cars on Friday - this almost confused me with what day it was considering the stand was so busy. There are so
many members I would like to thank but if I thank you all personally I would take up the whole newsletter. So, it just leaves me to say a massive
“thank you” to everyone who took part in this event and made the stand so special with banners and flags etc. One thing I must mention thoiugh -
the Club won a very special award from the VBOA; we voted for John Corbett’s immaculate Cavalier Mk3 for the Chairman’s Cup and I am proud to
say John Corbett won his category of Organiser’s Cup, this was covered by John Burgess from Classc Car Buyer.
We managed to recruit 4 new member’s at Billing 2015; a special mention to Beth Watt for doing all the administration for this full sign-up
proceure to happen on the day.
All the best Richard Watt (352)
