As you are aware Steam Car Club was formed some months ago in an attempt to save the steam car club movement of over 300 people from destruction. A large number of donations were sent in from members of the Steam Car Club of Great Britain Ltd to assist in the formation of a new club.
The directors of The Steam Car Club of Great Britain Ltd (Greg Walker and Barry Herbert) assumed control after an E.G.M. called by the members on the 7th May 2009 and following the resignation of the short lived board who took the club on the path to bankruptcy. These directors in an attempt to stave of bankruptcy proceedings aproached the Steam Car Club and have reached an agreement with the committee. The basics of that agreement being that subject to honouring contractual obligations to The Energy Trust, a liability of £800, Steam Car Club will be granted the sole rights to the title name of The Steam Car Club of Great Britain and magazine title “The Steam Car” plus its physical assets. This agreement has saved archives, including all the back issues of the famous magazine etc, for future generations.
Jeff Theobald will continue to edit the magazine and the web site [
www.steamcar.net] also continues with a total of 20million+ hits to date.
To conclude, The Steam Car Club of Great Britain is back minus the members who caused havoc.
Basil Craske,
CHAIRMAN.
