Despite
seasonal illnesses, which rather decimated booked attendance, we nevertheless
soldiered on and enjoyed ourselves with festive cheer.
The
limited glass of champagne (BAC 0.02% in Poland), an excellent gourmet a la
carte lunch in the fine restaurant, the convivial atmosphere with
wide-ranging illustrated ‘car conversations’ and a well-received talk on the brief
but adventurous Polish Grand Prix 1928-1933 all created a festive atmosphere !
Looking
forward to more classic car events and concours staged at this excellent and
welcoming venue.
I hope you
all had a wonderful Christmas if you were able or unable to come to our event and
thanks for your continued loyalty and enthusiasm for the club. Also looking
forward to some fine Rolls-Royce activities in 2025 !

Polish Motor Racing in the Tatras and Lwów (L'viv)
1928-1933
To say that Poland was an automotive powerhouse in the interwar period would, of course, be a gross exaggeration, but the country existed prominently on the racing map of Europe. The biggest names took part in the extraordinary but short-lived racing events held in Poland. Polish drivers successfully competed with these foreign celebrities. The illustrated text of the talk that followed lunch will be published here soon.
