  • NEWSLETTER – JANUARY 2021 Hon
    NEWSLETTER – JANUARY 2021 Hon. Secretary Brian Childs 28 Tudor Avenue A Message from our Chairman – Brian Spratt Gidea Park, Romford Essex, RM2 5LB 07770 382 371 (M) We know this year did not quite go as planned! [email protected] Sadly, every event planned for 2020 had to be cancelled, with the final hoped-for November visit to JLR Classic falling victim to Tier 2 restrictions in the West Midlands. Despite this lack of activities, and the consequent lack of revenue, I am pleased to reveal that the Fellowship has continued to support our motor industry charity BEN, with £5,000 donated in the middle of the year. As BEN’s CEO Zara Ross commented, “We are deeply moved that through this difficult time the Fellowship has continued to remember us. Our heartfelt thanks for everything you and the Fellowship do for BEN.” That's why we're so pleased to start looking forward, sharing with you our 2021 events programme. We know there is still uncertainty on the horizon and as a voluntary body without any external funding, we are acutely aware of this. But it has been the Fellowship's mission to share visits, sporting events, lunches, and other opportunities with Fellows for over 80 years, and we don't plan to stop now. The whole of your Committee value your support for the Fellowship so much, and we sincerely hope that our upcoming programme of events for 2021 will mean we can meet with you all once more. There will be old favourites, the Midlands and London lunches, along with other regulars, but there are new ventures, new locations, new experiences, but still with the constant theme of friendship and fellowship.

As you know, both my parents have been very poorly this year but thankfully made remarkable recoveries from their earlier illnesses. In June we managed a family holiday in Sussex although during that week my sister and I realised that Dad was more frail than perhaps we’d realised. That being we had a wonderful week that we shall always look back on as being precious. Dad’s death came as a shock but two major heart attacks on consecutive days - well, it was obvious what was going to happen. I also think that there is some consolation in the knowledge that my father’s final illness wasn’t long and that if we think about what life was likely to hold for him had he lived, then the kindest thing for him is what did actually happen. The cards and messages and flowers we’ve received have been so very appreciated, a number containing all sorts of memories of him and his humour.
