G.S.Y.

The beginning of this Term was a busy one for the Club, with four meetings in as many weeks.

The first meeting of the Term was held in the Lecture Theatre as usual, to elect Club officials, outline the Term's programme, and receiv members' suggestions.

The first race meeting of the Term was at Oliver's Mount, near Scarborough, and was a memorable occasion on two counts—a "blowup" during the competition—the chairman still remembers with nostalgia the sight of unidentifiable pieces of expensive engine shooting skywards— and the breaking of the throttle-link on the old School Bus. On the whole a memorable outing according to the best traditions of the Club.

The next meeting was to have been to the Elvington speed trials on October 4th, but this had to be cancelled as a club meeting because of lack of numbers. Our thanks are, however, due to Mr. Craine, who took a couple of members out there during the afternoon. By all accounts this was a very good meeting, and it is a pity we had to miss it.

October 11th saw the old School Bus on the way to Topcliffe Aerodrome for the go-karting. Messrs. Rennie, Harris and Blackburn also turned up, but the meeting was not all it might have been because of the St. Peter's entry breaking down. This was M. J. F. Davidson, who has been karting for some years, and is accounted very promising by those who know.

The next meeting took the form of two films, but because of bad timing and the pressure of other activities the audience numbered only eleven This was a pity as the films were both of a high standard, but care will be taken in future as regards timing of film-shows, and we hope the audience will increase.

That was the last proper meeting of the Term. Two more were organised, but both had to be called off at the last minute—one to the Production Car Trials at some unspecified course—we were totally unable to find out where this was!—and another, to the Northern Motor Show in Leeds. Our apologies are due to members for both these cancellations. 1 28
