Hello all!
I thought i would say a few words to wish every member a very happy and healthy new year.

If you are not ready for it now then i guess its too late! Unless you are like me, and prefer a bit of last minute panic buying!

The winter period can be a very quiet spell as far as car clubs are concerned and IMOC-UK is no different, but one thing i can say is that we have a very active forum community, and i am sure that you will find solace on here when the you have stuffed yourselves silly with turkey and mince pies! I am sure there will be a few people looking for advice on how to fit the new parts that Santa has bought them for Christmas!

2012 saw a good turnout for the club at our annual JAE outing, where once again we welcomed our German friends to our fold.

We also did the return visit to Duderstadt where a good number of us travelled to spend a good few days drinking and eating with members of the German, Dutch, Austrian and Swiss MR2 clubs.

A great time was had by all, and pics can be found on the various threads created.

New friendships were formed, and existing ones were strengthend.

Other events probably did not get the exposure they deserved due to the lack of a main events organiser.

We desperately need to fill this position, so if anyone has a few hours to spare and can coordinate some events, we would be very much appreciative.

Please contact me or other members of the IMOC team if you are interested.

.quite simply, if it was not for you the members, then there would be no IMOC-UK.

So, without further ado, and me rambling on, i would like to personally, and on behalf of the entire IMOC team, wish you and your family a very merry christmas and a happy new year.
