Vulture Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Guys, a small announcement. A new regional area has been established, the Huntingdon & District Area of the Military Vehicle Trust. Initially covering approximately a 25 mile radius from Huntingdon this will encompass the cities of Peterborough (to the north) and Cambridge (to the SE). http://www.mvt.org.uk/area_pages/huntingdon.html Details of the inaugural meeting have yet to be finalised, but initial thinking is to hold it on the evening of either the first or second Thursday in Jan 2012 in Huntingdon (venue TBA) . Formal letters of invitation will be sent out to all members in the locale in the next week or so. Kind regards to all Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Child Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Does this mean we'll be meeting with the Huntingdon Wargamers? http://www.hdws.org.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulture Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Does this mean we'll be meeting with the Huntingdon Wargamers? http://www.hdws.org.uk/ Lauren The Montague club is quite a large place with four separate rooms downstairs. One is taken by the bar, another is a pool room, and the remaining two are function rooms. The wargamers occupy the largest one, we will take the smaller one, which can take about 30 people.

Vulture Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Good luck with the new area from all in the North Staffs Area. Thanks Ray. 56 letters of invitation were sent out. It will be interesting to see how many responses I get. Hopefully it will be enough for a viable Area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulture Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 A quick reminder that this is today. So who else is coming? Lauren Things are looking good for our first meeting tonight. Spoke to the Montague Club a couple of days back to check everything was still fine with them (which it was). If everyone turns up who said they will, we should have about 20 people there tonight Kind regards Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M5Clive Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Hi guys I've long since felt that their is a huge void West of us and East of East Midlands area, so best of luck and any help Suffolk Area can give, then don't hesitate to ask! All the best Clive - Former Suffolk Area Secretary and now holding the Area purse strings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Child Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Well that was a terrific first start to the area - great to meet everyone. Hat off to Ian for organising it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0644hunt Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Yes, a good meeting. Nice to meet everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulture Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Yes this was a good first meeting . Including myself there were 26 attendees with (as you would expect) a broad ownership spectrum ranging from not owning any vehicle, up to having about 8. For the moment we are going to continue meeting in the Montague Club in Huntingdon, every 2nd Thursday of the month at 20:00. We worked our way through the sample MVT Area constitution, appointed a Deputy Area Sec, agreed to use a Yahoo Group to disseminate info (and files) and amongst other things agreed to try and have a 'Spring Run' sometime in the Easter break. All went well, already looking forward to next months meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
