Rosemarie Maslin addressing the party. Mercedes-Benz UK once again generously hosted the Club’s Officials’ Christmas Party – on December 6. As usual the food was of the highest, Michelin star, quality, even though it is served in what is normally the staff restaurant – the chefs and their team were to be congratulated and were warmly thanked. Senior Press Officer Rachel Goodwin introduced the evening and Club Member Malcolm Franks then adeptly auctioned for charity some items Mercedes-Benz UK Marketing Director and Honorary Simon Harrison – Michael Daniels Trophy. Bob Coxshall – 50th Anniversary Trophy. Club President Rob Halloway had kindly donated. These raised £190 for the RNLI and the evening’s raffle contributed a further £625. Rob then gave his customary informal and entertaining review of Mercedes- Benz’s year, pointing out how successful the marque’s sales have been in the UK despite the depressed nature of the market – the A-Class is now the fifth best-selling car, on its own accounting for more registrations than Jaguar, Volvo or Citroen. Club Chairman Rosemarie Maslin then started the presentation of Club awards. Peter Grunert – 40th Anniversary Trophy. Naser Sharifi – Brooklands Trophy.
