THE SKIDPAN EXPERIENCE

Unfortunately the skid pan that we have been using has now closed.   We are actively looking for a suitable replacement and will update all accordingly.

Below are some photos from previous Skidpan Experience days.

PRATTS BOTTOM & CHELSFIELD FAIR 2024

The Group stand was in attendance at both the Pratts Bottom Fair on 11th May and at Chelsfield Village Fair on 13th July.

At both Fairs a lot of interest was shown by many people, several of whom signed up on the day for “tasters”, which later lead to recruitment. My thanks to Jonathan Eaton and Sharon Sanders who assisted Steve Ewing and myself at Pratts Bottom.

For those of you not familiar with Chelsfield Village Fair, it might be worth looking out for next year, especially to see the flying display of a vintage Chipmunk and Spitfire.

Upcoming events:

A number of other trips out are in the early stages of planning; visits to the Control Centre at the Dartford Crossing and the Classic and Sports car show at Alexandra Palace later in the year for example.

At a previous Group Night we had guest speaker George Chandler, Broadband Project Manager at Kent County Council.   George entertained us with an interactive discussion on road signs, and surprised us with some unknown facts and figures.

And at another group night we had a splendid 1968 Met. Police Jaguar area car (original beat: West End Central – Soho!).   Its lovely historic equipment contrasted nicely with the modern BMW, which came complete with a very congenial Sgt Paul Newman.
