Below a Personal letter to all members from our New President Steve Hales

Hi Everyone. 

Just a few words at the start of our new club year.

Firstly, and personally a big thank you all for allowing me to become your new club president, and a huge THANK YOU to David and Sue Fox and Alan Forman for all the years they have steered the club and run it in such an exemplary manner.

 

A welcome to the committe to Karen Mahaffey as Secretary, and welcome back to Karen Underwood who after our meeting yesterday, and with Ken’s blessing has been able to return as our treasurer, and allow Ken to focus on the newsletter, and a thank you to Bob and Carol and Will for remaining in their roles.

I would like to say thank you to everyone who came to the AGM meeting yesterday, it was great to see so many there in support of our club.

Our club is for the enjoyment of all members, and it’s only by your participation in meetings or events that we can thrive.

I would also like to take this opportunity to ask you to think of any changes or additions you would like to see in our monthly meetings or outings. Or any other suggestions about how the club is run or structured?

You can suggest things to me either openly or in confidence, in person, or by email or WhatsApp/messenger, or raise any topic with individual committee members or in our monthly meetings.

So, here’s to an enjoyable year for all of us, let’s get out and about in our classics.

I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on the next run on the 22nd.

Steve Hales   President   9th February 2024

Our Mission:

Updated June 2023

To provide a club environment, which supports its members in the restoration, preservation and use of classic cars. Also most importantly to enjoy our lives in this wonderful country Spain that most of us call our home.

Club History

The Club was formed in February 2008 by a group of classic car enthusiasts who wanted to use their classic cars as often as possible in what can only be described as ideal conditions for open top motoring.

From 2008 the club was based in Aguilas. However, in 2014 the decision was taken to hold monthly meetings in Huercal Overa, the location of which more is suited the changing geographical spread of members.

A newsletter is posted on this web site for club members on a monthly basis, and contains details of known, at date of press release, forthcoming events. All recent club news, together with great features, information, quizzes and much much more. This is all thanks to our Newsletter Editor Ken Oliver, thank you Ken. 

Our website includes Forthcoming events which is normally updated on a monthly basis including Concentrations in Murcia & Almeria many organised by Spanish clubs and are great fun with Comida gratis, or goodies, please come and join us.

We also have a Recent Events page showing what you missed and as time goes by we hope members who attended any of these events will send to me Will, at webadmin@a-c-c.es photo’s  to add to these events and a little update of what occurred. We would love you to chat at the next club meeting about the event and what it was like, it’s a members club we are all involved just enjoy.

Monthly classic car runs around the local area, sometimes too far flung places are a feature of our Forthcoming Events Page.  Sometimes, the runs include an overnight stay or two, occasionally  joining with another clubs to promote friendship support and advise. This has enabled members to explore this part of Spain in a way they may never have done, even with a ‘modern’ car.

Member’s cars include British, European and US vehicles of all types dating from the 50s to the 80s.  In general, they are maintained and in many cases, were restored by their owners. Some members have cars from the 1930s and younger. Others later than the 80s but normally what is a “modern classic” with potential.

While our common language is English our membership includes enthusiasts from the UK and mainland Europe.

 

Come and join our friendly group, to enjoy even more of this great country and it’s wonderful people. 

As a rule we meet on the first Thursday of each month,  Our Very New Venue at Bar La Cinta, La Cinta Arboleas near Albox. (See Map). Meeting time 3.00pm, although many  members arrive before the meeting for Lunch a chat and even a drink.
