The club has been approached - rather late - by the VSCC to ask if we would like to have a presence at their 90th Anniversary event on Saturday 10 August at Stratford-on-Avon race course.  If you would like to display your car please contact me within the next week, by 10 July: bryan dot mo at btinternet.com
