Andrew Hutton once again organised a great start to the Festive season with the Christmas lunch at the Bluebird Dining Rooms and nearly 90 Club members attending.
With Prosecco on arrival, and Hog’s Back TEA for the more discerning members, the gorgeous raffle ticket sellers went about their business, with most selling out!
After a soup first course the eagerly sought after raffle prizes were drawn, followed by the main course and the irrepressible Paul Clayson auctioning a bound set of Tridents, a set of Ferrari (?!!?) headphones, and a (now) spare part from the Lerry Sebring!!!
Special guest Peter Denton (General Manager, Maserati Northern Europe) then gave us an insight into the forthcoming Maserati ‘strategy’, followed by the Vice-president Sir Drummond Bone awarding the following trophies:
Presidents Cup – Andy Heywood
Vice-Presidents Trophy – Roger Epsztajn
TASO Mathieson Trophy – Cliff Clifton – 3500GT
Anthony Hartley Trophy – Ken Chisholm – Autumn Rally
After being evicted from the restaurant to a reserved section of the bar, many stalwarts continued the convivial atmosphere until the early hours of the evening!
