A very expensive clock was wrapped and placed on each table, then the people at the table were asked to guess the time on the clock, the winner was the person who got nearest to the time indicated when the clock was unwrapped. I was caught out when someone said they had seen identical clocks for sale in the local cheap shop!...ah well times is hard you know.
Mick gave a short speech as he was the elected Chairman for the year but had had to resign following his move to Dartmouth, I then talked a little of the rest of the year.
Matt then moved to give out the trophies for the year they were: Jeans trophy, ( most pre war points ), to Tony Petherick. VMCC post war cup went to Keith Cleeve our treasurer who was home recovering from a knee replacement. Les Soper tankard for a foreign machine was won by our very own Chris Wood on his BMW. The Thelbridge trophy for best girder fork on the autumn run went to Tony Petherick. Reeds motors best tele fork went to Tony Box who was very pleased to receive it and thanked the section with a little speech of his own. Finally, the Woodman family shield highway code was won by Mick Addison.
The December club night went very well with Ray setting us one of his very taxing quiz's which was won by Chris, ( must have learnt a lot whilst fixing his BM ). Mince pies and coffee was enjoyed by all attending, another very good night.
