LINCOLNSHIRE GROUP ANNOUNCEMENT.
Having set this group up, the first "Locost Car Club Local Group" Seven years ago to help & encourage new builders in the area I have decided that as from the end of December 2005 I will be standing down as group coordinator. SEVEN years in office seems an appropriate number of years given the type of car the Locost is to serve the group. I still intend to go to the meetings etc, but for various reasons I am finding it more difficult to commit myself to being at the meeting venue without fail each month at a set time. I will more than likely still be there but not Quite as early & for not as long as in the past. If anyone out there is willing to carry on as group coordinator please contact me. Meanwhile may I take this opportunity to thank every one I have been involved with over the years with LOCOST, I have had some tremendous fun and met some smashing people along the way. LONG LIVE THE LOCOST!

This is an email from Brian Mitcham, Locost 750 Motor Club representative, indicating that the Club is hoping to make Locost- Race and Road Cars, one of its themes of their Summer Festival August Bank Holiday Race Meeting- August 27/28 2005. Its planned to have a display of cars in the Paddock behind the Pits, and if enough cars, a track Parade on the Sunday morning.It is hoped that with prior registration, to be able to give those taking part, passes to the event. I would be pleased to have any feedback.
