Just received our new list for the Herts and Beds Section.
We do hold a meeting on the first Tuesday of every month in Hitchin, but it's a very good month if we manage more than 4 of us.
I Had the old list from the Membership secretary about a year ago, I either phoned or contacted every person listed, but the net result was one couple, so that was an improvement, but we haven't seen them again for sometime.
One of our problems is that between the two counties we cover a huge area north to south as well as east to west, and it's near impossible to find a venue that suits.
We never have anyone from North Beds, I live South of Bedford, and I'm the only one that far north, with over half the County Still missing.
One previous venue resulted in members from Cambridgeshire and still no one from North beds.
Some of our area members find it easier to attend the Essex meeting as its nearer, or at least more accessible from the Buckinghamshire side of our area.
A number of new members connected with motoring publications live right on the Bucks side, so I think it's unlikely they'll join us for an evening.
I don't wish to sound all gloom and doom as those of us who do turn up have a good evening, and no, we don't just talk about Lancia's.
Last month we cancelled our meeting as it was immediately after the AGM, instead some of us took ourselves off to Matching Green where we were warmly welcomed by the Essex group.
However a 90 mile round trip including going home in the dark, wasn't the best of trips, and I will do it again, but not frequently!
But as Neill points out, where are you all?
Please support, or start your own local meeting.
