A chilly Sunday morning with over 45 cars in attendance it was a perfect way to end the year. We had our last meet of 2024 at Rykas Cafe near Dorking. Big thanks to the Rykas team as always for having us.

Our last event before Christmas was held at Torque Moto Cafe. Although the weather was a bit on the damp side, we still had a good turnout. Fantastic food and drink, and some even had a go on the racing simulator.
