Thanks to the 90 ACOC members and their guests who made last evening at the Elvetham Hotel such an enjoyable event. This year we were celebrating the 70th anniversary of the AC Owners' Club, and 60th anniversary of Ted Whiteaway and John Turner finishing 7th overall in their AC Ace Bristol at the Le Mans 24 hour race. Trisha Whiteaway and her daughter Cat brought copies of their Book on Ted Whiteaway, and shared previously unseen photos from the late 50's and Early 60's. John Deveson who owns the Ace was also there to celebrate.
Prizes were awarded to the winners of the Club's competitions, and the annual raffle and auction (this year a beautiful gents wristwatch hand crafted and donated by Paul Eaton) raised £1583 in aid of this year's charity, Cancer Research. The disco lasted into the small hours with a full floor well after midnight. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves and made their way safely home.
