Hi ,
I hope you had a lovely Christmas and cracking new year celebrations, I’m told 2023 is likely to be warmer than 2022, so our schedule of events might hit some decent weather. There are still late Christmas parties to look forward to as well as a variety of “Drive It Days” come April, check out our first few dates for 2023, with many more to come as organisers “nail down” dates.
News from around the North
The North Wales Christmas Party proved a great start to the festivities, despite the cold weather and winter bugs. John and Jill provided some great entertainment with a quiz, raffle and two fabulous photo shows, including a nostalgic journey back through AHC North Wales over some 40 years, with some recognisable, albeit somewhat younger, characters popping up! A brilliant end to the year.
Revcounter
Have you got January’s Revcounter yet? Congratulations to Tony Ball from Scotland for winning the Tech Talk Award '22 with two super articles. Also, get Tony & Jacky Lyons’ BJ8 on the front page (that’s 6 of the last 8 from our Northern Centre cars). Great work and let’s keep the Revcounter relevant.
Forthcoming events
- Sunday 23rd April 2023 FHBC Drive it Day plans are afoot in Scotland, Yorkshire and North Wales to organise a run out.

We’ll be supporting Children In Need, for more information and to order your Drive It Day vehicle plates please visit: Drive It Day | Yesterday's Vehicles Supporting Today's Children
