In view of the continued spread of the Coronavirus
pandemic, the SVVS Committee had earlier taken the decision that SVVS could not organise
meetings within the Coronaviarus Regulations and that therefore all our outstanding published meetings
are
CANCELLED until further notice. It was however agreed that Members can
meet privately, as they have already been doing within the Regulations, and can arrange private meetings and outings, but that
these could not be under the SVVS banner nor within the responsibility of the
SVVS. Two such events had been organised by Malcolm Ward in Fidlers Field,
Godstone, and are made
open to SVVS Members to attend but entirely at their own risk. Malcol's
next venture was a Saturday Morning 'Breakfast Meeting' at the Red Barn in
South Godstone. This approach is generally in line with
decisions taken by FBHVC and other major car clubs. The first meetings was held
on Saturday 12th September. Photographs by Malcolm Ward.

With new Covid-19 gatherings restrictions now in place, the meeting
at the Red Barn will most probably be the last of the summer wine. The morning
of the 12th September was sunny and warm, ideal weather to open the garage doors
and dust off your vintage vehicle ready for a run in the country. To take
advantage of having the Red Barn car park all to ourselves for an hour before
the pub opened, members arrived early and soon the far end of the car park
filled with a variety of vintage and classic vehicles, including cars, two
motorcycles, a camper van and even a vintage bicycle! Word of the meeting had
obviously spread and a few non members arrived wishing to join the SVVS, so Chas
Moody was busy signing them up. The atmosphere was relaxed, members conducted
themselves in an orderly fashion and social distancing was observed. Having
booked tables, many members were awaiting their allotted time. When I set off
for home at midday, I left many still enjoying the excellent hospitality the Red
Barn provides. A memorable meeting that was apparently enjoyed by all. Let us
hope we can return in the not too distant future.
