Chairman's Message
I hope this email reaches you all in good health.
Today we should be holding the AGM, but under current restrictions this would be difficult to execute, but doesn't mean it hasn't gone away. Our constitution states we must hold an AGM within 15months of the last one, so we do have until the start of May to hold it and will keep an eye on circumstances over the next few months. All existing committee members have said they would like to continue in their roles, but if you feel you would like to have a go at any of the positions, then please put your name forward.
One position that may be open, is the KSCA representative. As you may or may not know Eric Masters has not been very well after he and his good lady contracted Covid, and after a short spell in hospital, is back home and on the way to recovery. Eric feels at the moment that he is unable to cope with the position and we feel it is only right that we remove any burden to him from this role, so that he can concentrate on getting his fitness back. So at the moment we are looking for a KSCA rep, whether this wil be temporary or permanent will depend on whether Eric would like to continue when he is able, so if you would like to help out, then please put your name forward. 
With this in mind,  I, on behalf of you all,  wish Eric and Linda, together with Barrie Williams who has also been poorly of late, a speedy recovery.
I can report that the KSCA has been quite busy, with it now in the process of changeing it's charity status, and improvements being made to both the interior of the building and the grounds.
I would like to remind you all that the yearly subs are now due. This year we have reduced them to £10 or £15 if you have the printed newsletter, which need to be paid by the end of March. The  earlier you do this, makes it less work for those involved so please be prompt with your payments and thank you to those that have already done so.
As the Covid vaccine rollout is well under way, I trust many of you have already had your first one, then this year may see us finally getting out and about again. The Restoration show is still on the books for June, and feelings within the industry are becoming more positive, as companies and promoters are starting to show more interest in holding events. I'm sure the first such meetings will be held with a little trepidation, but I think that as time goes on then confidence will increase, as, hopefully, the infection rate will not.
So now we all need to start getting our cars ready, cleaned and polished, so we can show them off and the work that we have done to them during lock down. My Jensen at the moment is looking a little sorry for itself as doing work on it and the Cortina has left it looking slightly forlorn and neglected. Nothing a good wash and polish won't sort out. I have, as usual been busy on both, with the fitting of electronic ignition to the Jensen, which was not straight forward, as nobody except Chrysler seem to do one for their distributer, so I had to modify the base plate to accept an off the shelf Rover V8 kit. The Cortina is now very close to being on its wheels, or a set of old wheels at least, as the suspension is going on and should be done this weekend. I had a bit of luck with an ebay purchase of the aluminium front bonnet trim for the Cortina, at £60, a pretty straight item with just a few dings, but quite a bit of scratching to the anodised coating. As you can imagine because of the position of these, right at the front, they get a severe bashing and good ones are rarer than an Arab's dry armpit, with a NOS item recently selling for £780. With some careful bashing using all kinds of implements, I got the dings out, removed the anodising and have polished it up to an excellent finish, well worth the whole day it took, with great satisfaction.
Keep feeding us information on what you are upto on your cars and anything you feel would be good for the club magazine, please forward to Yvonne.
