West Midlands Group
Organiser, Alan Withey, was rather caught unawares when he was
awarded Honorary Membership of the Club on 31st Jan 2004.
Speaking at the West
Midlands Annual Dinner, Club Secretary, Lynda Homer recalled
how Alan had organised the first West Midlands Rally, which also
formed the National Rally in 1982. As a committee Member, Alan was
always keen to promote the Club's attendance at Classic Car shows
and for owners to use their cars on the Road.
Alan's
organisational skills led to his successful delivery of the
Avoncroft National Rally in 1989 and subsequently, the National at
Drayton Manor in 1991. Over all these years Alan also organised the
Annual West Midlands Rally, the Annual Malvern Three Counties Show and the Club's
Stand at the Town and Country Festival at Stoneleigh. Lynda
commented on Alan's huge success this year at Stoneleigh where the
Club's Centenary stand was positioned in prime place next to the central
arena. Alan's long suffering wife May was also thanked for her
unending support.
It was because of
Alan that no less than 42 of us had been brought together for yet another
Annual Dinner, she said. It was for these and a whole host of other
reasons that the committee had decided on this award.
It was with much
pleasure that Lynda was able to present this Honorary
Membership to Alan. Alan received the framed certificate that you
can see in the photograph. We look forward to the next of
Alan' events and many more to come!
