Gibraltar Classic Vehicle Association on Film!

Dear Members,
Just a short note to tell all members that our local Gibraltar TV channel GBC aired a documentary recently featuring Classic Cars.  The film was taken at this year’s rally, club outings, Ocean Village and Cruise Terminal. If you missed it and the re-run, you can watch it online here:

OCTOBER confirmed Events…

Two days for your Calendar in October.
     Sunday 5th October  10.45 to 1500hrs.  Display of our Classics in Casemates Square.  This is a very popular event and I hope many of you will support it.   Entrance will be through Cloister Ramp and Irish Town. Meet 9.30am for breakfast at the club house or at Casemates.
  Sunday 19th October.  Another event that has always been very popular and well supported. Breakfast outing to Sotogrande Port. For those of us going from Gibraltar meet at the Spanish side by the stadium to leave latest 09.15hrs. If you are coming directly from Spain meet at Sotogrande Port at 10.15hrs.  Parking will be reserved so please let me know if you are coming so I can inform the Port authorities.
Hope to see you supporting both events if you can!

Upcoming Events – Sept/Oct 2014

One other event for the month of September.  It was decided that it would be a good idea to hold a BBQ whilst the weather is still warm.  So we decided to hold a BBQ on Sunday 14th September at the Clubhouse.  Around 12.30pm for 1pm.

Price will be £10 per head. Remember we are limited for space so if you want to come book early. Please email Stefan Nicholson nicholson6@gibtelecom.net and let him know.

October Monthly meet will be @ Saturday 4th October at Casemates Square – more details nearer the time…

End of Summer events

We have had a fantastic year with lots going on and good things happening to the Association.  There are still a few things going on in the background of which I hope to bring you more information soon. For some time now we have been trying to get special number to be able to show that our vehicles are of a Historical nature.

I am glad to say that yesterday this was confirmed and in future we shall have the G plate with an H at the end to show its a historical vehicle. G1001H (Example). Now before you all start asking questions let me sort out how this is going to be done. At the moment this will apply to all new vehicles. I will keep you informed as to how this will affect existing number plates.

Your committee is now also working on the events for the rest of the year including Christmas Dinner.
Our NEXT event will be on Sunday 7th September 2014  with a display of our vehicles at Ocean Village Promenade. I hope to see many of you there supporting the Association.
Ocean Village have kindly moved the Sunday Market to accommodate us, so its now up to us to support the event. 
I wish you all a Great Summer    Click Me! and see you all in September.
Howard.
