Strut AGM
The April meeting will be our 'Virtual AGM'. As we couldn't meet in person due to Covid Lockdown and it was considered to be a bit ambitious holding an AGM as our first virtual meeting, we did not have an AGM last year. Although having had virtual meetings almost every month since and we seem to have got the hang of these now, it was considered we should go head with a virtual AGM this year.
So if you can, please attend and support your Strut at our AGM - As well as the general running of the Strut, it's the time everyone can put forward their ideas for meetings, fly-outs, visits etc for the forthcoming year, plus go over plans for this years Boxted Fly-in and AOB you may have....
The meeting will again be over ZOOM and Mick will be sending out the invite a few days before the meeting which will be open for people to join from 19:15, with the AGM stating at 19:30

Sale of Evans VP-1 "Annie"
In July 2020 Strut member John Lindsay reluctantly put his Evans VP-1 "Annie" up for sale. He would have loved it if she could have stayed in the area, although mainly he was looking for anyone who would give her a good home.
John has now sold "Annie", and while not locally she has gone to what is hopefully a very good home up at Eshott in Northumberland.
Click here for the futher details and photos on what is a lovely story and postive outcome.
