Normal formal internal meetings at the Dog and Duck would NOT be described here.

	:: [ SVVS Lunchtime Meeting - Black Horse, Hookwood - April 2012 ] :: Black Horse being quite early in our calendar tends to be before most of our proper cars come out of the winter mothballs. It used to be the tradition that we would park on the grassy knoll and this year our Publicity Officer had done his bit so the grass had been cut. However not many ventured onto it because the entrance is very small and guarded by two mighty very narrow gateposts. We had 16 proper cars turn out,  including one a potential new member in a Rolls Royce 20/25.
	:: [ SVVS Lunchtime Meeting - The Cock Inn, Headley - March 2012 ] :: Second visit in two weeks, the previous weekend was the lunch following the Treasure Hunt. Rained cats and dogs! This time, lovely day, decent weather, good turnout. Seventeen proper cars and a few in moderns who did not believe the weather forecast, - hardly surprising. The Cock Inn is a lovely place run by a mother and daughter team but seems to be very much Sunday lunchtime eatery with lots of full tables and waiters. Bit  slow  on the food service.  Mandatory to  book  a table.
	:: [ SVVS Dinner - Reigate Manor Hotel, Reigate - February 2012 ] :: Reigate Manor Hotel was again the venue for the 2012 Annual SVVS Dinner and was attended by a smashing turnout of over 100 people. Not much could be faulted with the quality of the meal and the efficiency of the service, or the value to the Members! We were lucky enough to obtain the services of our own Michael Doughty as the Guest Speaker who gave a wonderful talk on owning a violin factory in China ! All the proceeds of our Raffle then went to his chosen charity  Music for Youth.
	:: [ New Year's Day Lunchtime - Beehive, Woodhatch - January 2012 ] :: Our first meeting of the year took place again at the Beehive. The New Year dawned overcast, damp, rainy and windy, so the turnout of older vehicles in the car park was expected to be low. However, sixteen determined members took their steeds out, as well as fair-weather Members who came in moderns and hid them round the back in embarrassment. Kicking of tyres in the carpark was relatively minimal and we consumed most of the pub's lunches  as the wives had a day off.
