Hello All,

The CEO where I work, Richard Green is a petrol head and has entered a team into the Birkett 6 hour Relay Race that takes place at Silverstone on the 30th October. The team consists of 6 so knowing that Ainslie goes racing (and has experience of endurances) asked if he wanted to join in and take his Caterham C400 for a spin (not literally we hope!) round the track a few times.

Sadly earlier this year Richard lost his wife to cancer and is on a mission to find ways of raising money for Cancer Research and the invaluable work they do. So having covered the cost of the team himself we are looking for donations/sponsorship for the team which will go directly to the charity.

Please follow the link below to a JustGiving web page that will allow you to sponsor them should you so wish, no matter how small a contribution it all helps!

Thanks all
Tracey

Dear All,

Does anyone know where the 'Never Up' is? (The club EazyUp Portable Shelter, to those not in the know)

I think it would be nice to have it at Mallory as it is club branded and it might get 'ont telly'

Anyone owning up?

Cheers

Ainslie

Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears.

For Yorkshire folk - Now then! ;)

The Commentary Sheets folder has gone walkabout after Snetterton.

It was not in the commentary box at the end of the race and Lewis Beales (Snet Commentator) does not have it. :'(

If you took it home to update your Christmas card list can you please bring it along to Mallory and give it to me.

Otherwise I will only have to start making it all up again  >:(

Dear All,

I am concerned about a development that took place at Anglesey which seems contrary to our constitution items 10 and 11.

SEE BELOW

10. Application of profit

No money or property of the Club or any gain arising from the carrying on of the Club may be applied otherwise than for the benefit of the Club as a whole or for some charitable or benevolent purpose or purposes chosen by resolution of a general meeting.

11. Commission

11.1. No one may at any time receive at the expense of the Club or any member of the Club any commission percentage or similar payment on or with reference to any purchases made by the Club.

11.2. No one may directly or indirectly derive any pecuniary benefit from the activities of the Club and apart also from any benefit which a person derives indirectly by reason of the supply giving rise to or contributing to a general gain from the carrying on of the Club unless approved by a resolution of a general meeting.

I understand all those who raced at Anglesy paid their entry fee to BARC but subsequently received a £180 cheque from the club.

As a paid up club member I don't remember voting that those who raced at Anglesey would get a subisdy (or 'application of profit').

I also do not recall this sudsidy being publicised to all members before the race to 'encourage' entries.

If this subsidy HAD been voted through at the AGM and given to those who entered all the races at the end of the season (as the BARC scheme), then perhaps there would be more cars out this season? At least everyone would have known of the opportunity in advance.

Whilst all those at Anglesey are hardly going to say 'no I don't want a subsidy' I kindly suggest the favoured 15 may have turned a blind eye to the rest of the members interests.

Are there not more effective ways to use the funds accumulated over the preceding years to benefit all, existing and future members, and safeguard the club?
