BHS 34th Annual General Meeting, 22 March 2026
There is a saying that ‘the sun shines on the righteous’ and it certainly shone on Yew Cottage! As all 27 members arrived, we were greeted with coffee and biscuits out in the garden – and what a beautiful garden it is, thanks to John’s hard work. It is always lovely to catch up with old friends. We were very pleased to see Theo and Jude’s 1936 686 Lancefield which had behaved perfectly during the journey.
Following the meeting, pre-lunch drinks were enjoyed in the garden before a delicious lunch was served. Thanks to Toddy for her hard work and the ladies who provided the puddings. Thanks also to Kathy and Elaine, the selling of raffle tickets produced a record sum of £280 and practically everyone went home with at least one prize. We all then enjoyed the video of our past year’s events, it brought back happy memories, before we said our goodbyes and made our way home.
A big thank-you to Michael and John for their wonderful hospitality.
