British Hotchkiss Society

33rd Annual General Meeting 16 March 2025

On a sunny morning, 30 of us gradually arrived at Old Boars Hill to meet up with friends and chat over coffee and biscuits – ably provided at ‘Ilary’s ‘Atch – and we were very pleased to welcome our new members Ian and Kirsten Tisdale. The meeting, efficiently led by our Chairman Michael, highlighted, among other things, the Club’s accounts, future events and the BHS shop, and after the presentation of awards, the meeting closed. Drinks were served followed by a delicious lunch prepared by Toddy. A lively and successful  raffle – thanks to Elaine and Kathleen - followed by a video showing last year’s events ended the very enjoyable day. Our thanks go to Michael and John for allowing us to use their lovely home for the day and to Hilary and Toddy for providing delicious sustenance.

​​​Autumn Closer 08 October 2024

Twenty-one of us made our way to Aston Pottery on another very wet day where we enjoyed coffee and their tasty selection of cakes. Tony Curtis was the only one to brave the weather and bring four other members in his Hotchkiss. Clive and Toddy Hamilton Gould came in their impressive Delage and, as usual, we all had plenty to talk about. Two hours later we trekked across country to The Bear and Ragged Staff. Known for its comfortable eatery, we settled down for another three hours of gossip and chat whilst enjoying good food and very helpful staff.

August Pub Meet, 18 August 2024

David and Erica have done it again – arranged lovely summer weather for our get-together! A record number of members and friends (31) met during the morning at The Bull in Stanford Dingley and did plenty of catching up while having coffee and biscuits. We were very pleased to see some of our new members and mention must be made of Rod Renfrew and his wife who had travelled all the way from  Lincolnshire in their 1936 680 Cabourg while overcoming many road closures and diversions. After a tasty lunch we all made the short journey to Two Hoots to partake of tea and delicious cakes and crumbles in the garden.

All too soon it was time to say our farewells, but once again our thanks must go to David and Erica for making it such a special day.
