WELCOME TO THE VAUXHALL 30-98 REGISTER
Website updates August 2024
Judy Portway It is with great sadness that we report that Judy Portway (nee Neve) passed away on Friday 9th August, peacefully at home with her family (husband Nic Portway and her two children Nic and Sally). Judy was always a keen Vauxhall exponent, having been brought up travelling in the back of AOA 2 (now owned by Gregor Fisken) and had the pleasure of a brisk run in the car only last year at the OE100 celebrations. She loved every minute, just as she loved life. She will be greatly missed. A message from Judy's family: In loving memory of Judy Portway 15th May 1941 - 9th August 2024, a beautiful soul who will be missed by many. The family welcome members to join them in celebrating the life of Judy with a memorial at Abbey Hall, Hoxne Road, Eye, Suffolk, IP23 7NJ 22nd September 2024 @ 11:30am Please RSVP here: https://celebratingjudy.rsvpify.com/ Register activities for 2024. Report: Prescott Register Dinner Friday 2nd August 2024 A very well attended event in the clubhouse at Prescott Hillclimb. We had 47 Register members present, some great food, great company and it all went off with a bang thanks to six bottles of the finest Muscat, delivered by Peter Donald and most kindly donated by Peter Latreille....a good night. The Ferguson cup Awarded annually, John Kent from Australia was the worthy recipient this year. John has always been so generous with his huge knowledge and expertise, supporting 30-98 owners all over the world. VSCC Impney Estates Anniversary Sprint/Hillclimb 9th August 2024 The sun shone and we enjoyed the right crowd and no crowding. The Register team put in a huge effort ensuring the event ran smoothly, while the 150 entrants all seemed to have big grins. This historic event simply would not have happened without the support of the Register - well done everyone. VSCC Gala Day Concours Saturday 10th August 2024 Thanks to Nicola Quartermaine, 30-98s were well represented at the Concours, and took the honours in most of the classes. Piers Trevelyan's lovely E-Type, the Quartermaine's 30-98 Salome and Tony Smallbone's highly original and gorgeous E-Type were all in the money..... |
