The latest update from the VBOA Chairman, Ian Coomber….
A lot of clubs now regularly send me their news-letters and magazines and I must say the majority of them are beautifully presented and full of interesting information. It’s also good to see that VBOA Matters is being included as I believe its important club members know that we are working on behalf of the 24 UK and 8 overseas clubs that make up the VBOA. |

| Following an initial idea from Mario Lindsay, two years of planning, negotiations with Vauxhall, deal striking with Palmersport by Terry Cobbold and the committee in full event mode for the last six months, finally the big weekend had arrived. Would it all go to plan, or would it all fall to pieces around us. Actually we needn’t have worried, but we did anyway. Getting Chevettes together for previous publicity events with Total Vauxhall Magazine was hard enough, expecting over thirty to turn up for a one off event was going to take a small miracle. |
