HELLINGLY FESTIVAL OF TRANSPORT

Eastbourne Historic Vehicle Club Ltd, the organisers of the FOT, have advised that as
things currently stand, the event scheduled for the August Bank Holiday weekend at
Broad Farm, is still on.
Entrants, helpers and the public are naturally concerned as to whether the annual
show will take place this year, with the current COVID-19 issues.
EHVC have said the situation is under constant review and a decision will be taken at
the end of June / early July, based on Government advice at the time with respect to
social gatherings, the potential implications for the Emergency Services and the
likelihood of entrants and the public wanting to attend.
Further updates will be posted on the EHVC website (www.EHVC.biz) or from the
FOT Secretary, Dave Esmond (Tel: 01323 479200).

Succession Planning

This is important for the Club,So please read and inwardly digest.
......................................................
The EHVC currently has 7 Directors plus
8/9 Ex- Officio Members handling specific tasks,
out of a membership of some 150.
Some have been in their roles for a considerable time and we are all 'getting-on' in years!

If the Club (and FOT) is to continue and flourish in the future, then some additional support is needed from Members who have the time, interest and skills to become part of the management group.

Our Company Secretary, Mike Bray, has indicated he wishes to stand down from the post in 2021.

Ideally, what the Directors would like, is for the key Club and FOT Officers to have a "deputy" or someone in the wings, to take on some of the duties and be in a position to "step-up" in due course.

This would help spread the load, and would also importantly provide the necessary back-up in the event of any of the current post holders being unavailable for any reason.

None of what we do is "rocket science" and a few more willing hands will bring vital help - and also bring some fresh thinking to our deliberations !

Please contact me if you are interested in helping your club to thrive for the foreseeable future.
