Our venue this year was the White Hart pub in Great Houghton, just outside Northampton, after four years at The Trumpet carvary in the town. The pub was perfect for us with a great meal and the whole restaurant to ourselves. Following the meal I gave out the following awards, some more serious than others : Quick Change Award for three engines in 1 Calendar year : Nathan Bovingdon, 1980 Trans Am 400/455/327. Driving Miss Daisy Award (for committment to speed limits) : Scott Austin / John Marsh / Nathan Bovingdon.

I would like to thank Graham Baverstock of the Pontiac Owners Club UK for producing the certificates and Phil Harrison for providing the laminating machine. The dinner attracted members of the AACI, NASC, POC UK and Mustang Owners Club GB.
