Report for the online V8 AGM 2020 from the organiser of the V8 Kent Tour 2020

V8 Kent Tour 2020 announcement and update on 5th July 2020
Ian Quarrington reports he has sought the views of members who have booked for the tour as to whether they feel it should go ahead or be postponed to 2021. He found from the responses that the whole group have agreed to postpone to 2021. His email circulated on 5th July 2020 to Members who had booked for the V8 Kent Tour 2020 said:

In the last few days I have tried to telephone each and everyone of you regarding the tour, and I was mostly successful in managing to talk to everyone. My apologies if we did not speak, but I did try!!

95% of you replied to my earlier email about whether the V8 Tour should go ahead this year or be postponed to 2021 and 100% of those who replied to my email would like to go to Kent in the Autumn of next year.

Therefore I have been in touch with the main hotel, Little Silver, and also with the two main venues we plan to visit and the new dates for the V8 Kent Tour are Monday 13th to Friday 17th September 2021. If you need to alter your arrival or departure date by one day either way then Little Silver have said they have no problem with this at all.

Please can you all make a note in your diaries or on your wall charts or on your electronic devices of these dates.

Charli and Russell from Little Silver will be writing to you to confirm the date changes and also reassure you that the rooms will remain as you have booked them and the room rates will remain the same prices that were agreed for this year.

If you are booked into other accommodation, including the London Beach Hotel, can you please make your own arrangements to alter your bookings from this year to 2021. I have, on behalf of one of our European friends, tried to call London Beach in the last days but there was only an answer phone message which indicates they must be busy preparing to re open for the rest of this year. If you have difficulty in getting hold of London Beach, please let me know and I will do my best to help.

I do feel we have taken the only sensible decision: it wouldn't be a V8 Tour if we couldn't be together and enjoy the huge social aspect of the week let alone any activities we have planned and I would like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to you all for your understanding and your support in these difficult times.

I will be on touch with you all again this Autumn as venues come back to me with dates for us to visit them next year.
