Both Section Secretary Chris Hounsell and I would like to say a very BIG thank you to all those members (we welcomed 13 cars and their owners) who came along and said 'Hello' at the inaugural Hertfordshire Section meeting yesterday organised at South Mimms Services. Arriving early, Chris had commandeered a whole section of the car park which was soon filled with a whole variety of Volvos. Beautiful blue skies and sunshine added to the convivial atmosphere enjoyed by all
Our lunchtime gathering was very much a 'dip a toe in the ocean' affair to discover if there are a number of enthisiastic members in the area and whether a regular meeting is achievable.
I am delighted to say the answer is most certainly 'YES' with attendees not only travelling from the localityto the event but also from Essex, Bedfordshire, North London and Middlesex. Volvo models ranged from the latest XC60 to a brace of lovely 240 series estates. James' stunning V70R AWD drew many admiring glances, the specification of this car is quite simply mind-boggling!
The Hertfordshire Section therefore looks forward to welcoming members to our next meeting at South Mimms Services on Sunday 24th February 2013 from 11:30 onwards.
