John Lomas

I have been attending VSCC events with my late father Alan since the early 1980’s, a mixture of travelling to Oulton Park wedged on the tunnel between my parents in their Riley Imp and then navigating once I could see over the dash.

Over the last seven years I have competed in various endurance rally events in Pre-war cars including four Monte Carlo Classique’s and two Flying Scotsman’s.  Plus covering an average 8,000 miles a year in pre-war Riley’s – I am a firm believer in using our cars as intended.

I have committee experience with various other car clubs.  Being on a committee means both listening to members and their varied needs and wants, but also being able to be decisive and take the right decisions for the long-term future of an organisation, however difficult they may be.

Being ‘relatively young’ at 46 (!) I have a certain understanding of what our younger members and non-members are looking for in the club.  Plus, through managing my business social media I am versed with the positives and negatives it brings – it is an area we increasingly must embrace and use to engage potential new members.
