Hi All
On December 12th 1969 founding members of our club met in Cardiff and passed a resolution forming the South Wales Austin Seven Club. Afterwards they moved to “The Chopsticks” Chinese Restaurant. That restaurant no longer exists so 27 current members met last night in the “Cantonese Riverside Restaurant” (very close to the original site) to celebrate the clubs 50th birthday.
There were several founding members present last night all eager to relay stories about the club. The meal was excellent and rounded off with a superb cake and a display of old newsletters, rally brochures and other memorabilia. Despite the atrocious weather there was even a Seven in the car park!
I’d just like to repeat “Happy Birthday” and wish the club many more happy returns (to whatever restaurant is chosen
).
Cheers
Howard
