I am not a ‘club person’ and although I have been a member of various motorcycle clubs both local and national in order to take part in trials and sprints I never attended any club meetings.
I came late to cars (60) when I built my Liege and joined the Liege Car Club. With only 60 cars in total the club has a very small membership spread over the whole of the UK and beyond yet is very active. Members arrange meets that gives us the chance to gather together and through the Liege Club members only forum we are able to communicate and exchange information as we do on this forum. For those like myself who use their Liege for trialling we are brought together by our more specialised interest.
My ambition at 17 in 1960 was to own an Austin 7 but could not raise the £5 asking price. This ambition was eventually fulfilled in 2015 when I acquiring an RP. I joined the PWA7C but as my local branch is a round trip of 138 miles attendance at meetings is a no no.
I regard this forum as a ‘club’ and when I log on I always check who is browsing on line and although I do not know who they are or where they live and will probably never meet them I recognise them as friends united by a common interest.
A club is what one makes of it; some enjoy the social side, others committee meetings and organising while there are those like me who are happy to be on the periphery.
