Meetings are conducted informally with no lengthy readings of minutes or financial statements. The meetings promote the exchange of useful information: technical advice, experiences with local businesses. They provide an opportunity to participate in the planning and organization of events and offer an excellent forum for buying and selling vehicles and parts. Most meetings feature a presentation by members or by automobile related enterprises. Guests are always welcome.
On the Sunday following the meeting there is the Sunday run to places of interest - not necessarily automobile related. The majority of these are family affairs and participation of spouses and children is encouraged.

Newsletter -The Branch newsletter, The Dynamo, featuring articles by and for members, technical tips and a listing of English cars and parts for sale and wanted is published on a monthly basis. The letter is mailed out to all branch members on a monthly basis.

THE ROAD AHEAD -

Activities -In addition to events such as drives, show and sale days, social events, rallies etc. organized by the Club, integration with other groups and their events is actively promoted. Established automobile shows, regional fairs and parades are promoted and participation encouraged.
