members’ matters


Ferraris for breakfast The Brooklands breakfast meetings are a great


opportunity to catch up with friends over an English fry up, served in the Clubhouse dining room. This time, I took my Ferrari 360 along and I was pleased to see a few other Ferraris there too. There were two racing 308’s courtesy of QV London, 328, 348 and 355 examples. The yellow 348 was displaying a very nicely detailed engine bay. Also on display were two very rare cars. The first was beautifully restored and was one of 14


Connaught cars built at the nearby Connaught works in Send, back in 1953. The other car was a Trojan (right), which is the most simple and basic of cars built in Kingston in the 1920s.


A very enjoyable morning was had wandering around the display of cars, having a hearty


breakfast, chatting to people and enjoying the sunshine – yes, we had that too. As the classic car season draws to a close, this was one of the last events before Christmas. The next big event is the New Year’s Day meeting and I think you might find me there this year too.

In Memory of... Sadly, each issue we do lose some of our Members and we’d like

• Mr Mark Billingham who passed away in October and was a member for a year.


Spinning Wheels We would like to start afresh with our Spinning Wheels series as


other filming and a shortage of Members offering their vehicles for inclusion caused a relapse towards the end of 2019. We’d like to get Series 2 running in the Spring and need your input and your vehicle. Please get in touch and let us know what you have and we’ll set up a recording session at Brooklands. It generally only takes two hours to film an episode and all you need is some knowledge about your car or bike for the commentary. To get involved, email Tim in the Members office: timmorris@ brooklandsmuseum.com; or phone: 01932 857381 ext 226. To find all the BM.tv programmes and links to the channels please go to our website at: https://www.brooklandsmuseum.com/ brooklands-members/archive/btmtv


38 BROOKLANDS BULLETIN | JANUARY - FEBRUARY 2020 Subscriptions


The committee has been looking at ways to make it easier for you to pay your subscriptions. We introduced bank transfers for renewing Members in the last edition and from January 2020 there is a discount for Members renewing or joining by Direct Debit. If you are already on a Direct Debit, you do not need to do anything as the new rates will be automatically applied to your subscription. You will find the Direct Debt prices in brackets below. Membership rates are rising in January in line with the rise in Museum admission prices. This is a little earlier than normal as we have been out of kilter with the Museum’s entrance fee rises and in future any price changes will be made from 1 January. The new price structure is as follows:


Club Level £140 (£135)


Family 1+3 £60 (£55) Family 2+3 £90 (£85) Double £73 (£68) Individual Youth


£47 (£45) £26


International £64 There are now two Family levels and this has been


introduced due to Members requesting a Membership level to help single parents with children, hence Family 1+3. The original two person and up to three children remains but is now called Family 2+3.


Binders This is the third issue of the new style


Brooklands Bulletin and I am sure you will be wondering what to do with them once you have read them. Well, the answer is at hand as we have just taken delivery of new Bulletin binders which are similar to the old ones but bigger. They are priced at £10 each and you can buy them direct from the Members Office or by mail order from our website shop. There are other items of Members’


regalia available from the office, including new logo mugs and the last of the old logo beanie hats and baseball caps, so hurry whilst stocks. You can also order items of clothing online from our clothing store partners so you can wrap up warm in fleeces, polo shirts and sweatshirts. See: www. https:// www.brooklandsmuseum.com/shop
