We bought our first American car 2009 when Hugh saw an advert for a 1953 Chevy pickup. Having bought it, we were hooked! We attended a few car shows with the truck and joined the AACNW that year. Gradually, we got more involved, helping out at the indoor shows at Event City and attending the final Americana International Show. At the club AGM in 2015, a plea went out for new committee members and Hugh put his name forward and was appointed as club Treasurer, taking over from Mike Holding. During the summer of 2017, following the resignation of the previous chairman, Hugh agreed to take over that position, and I took on his previous role as Treasurer. And, nearly five years later, here we both are! I am also acting as Membership Secretary for an interim period whilst we recruit a new volunteer for that position. Please contact me if you are interested! In 2013 we bought another car - this time a 1964 Pontiac Grand Prix - followed in 2018 by our latest purchase, a 1961 Chevy Parkwood station wagon. Needless to say, we have still got the truck too! We get to lots of shows during the season, as well as to every meet at Barton during the rest of the year. Owning and running these classic vehicles is a real treat, but the social side of the AACNW adds much more. We have made so many new friends and have had lots of great times and are looking forward to more of both.
