MOTOR ENTHUSIASTS CLUB

The Club has now become fully operational and has had the most active term of any of the school Societies.

The first meeting took the form of an introduction to the activities of the British Automobile Racing Club and was given by Mr. Chippindale of the B.A.R.C., who illustrated the meeting with a film on motor cycle scrambling and one of British motor racing in the 1950s. As a result of this meeting twelve members have joined the B.A.R.C. and they are benefitting, as is the Club as a whole, from Mr. Chippindale's advice.

By the beginning of February the Club library was temporarily installed in the Woodwork Room and its contents are continually increasing. The reference facilities offered by the library are being well used by many of our members.

At the following meeting Mr. Peter Lawson, the leading Northern hillclimb driver gave a very interesting talk describing his activities since he began hill-climbing, concluding with his current plans for driving his new four-wheel drive B.R.M. After having spoken to the Club he showed some slides of himself in action and answered members' questions.

The following week Mr. Chippindale returned to give the Club a bonus B.A.R.C. film meeting. Among films was one of the enduring 1966 Acropolis Rally and one of the 1967 Indianapolis 500 featuring the revolutionary STP gas-turbine car.
