A warm welcome to all members old and new.  My name is Tim Butcher and many of you already know me from the meetings but for those of you who do not, my name is Tim Butcher and for the last thirty years since the age of 12, I have been involved with Aston Martins. I served my apprenticeship with a known Aston Martin Specialist and after many years there I set up my own business which is Trinity Engineering based in Cobham, Surrey and we are now in our twelfth year.

You will also be aware of Anne-Marie - and I do mean aware - she is my Assistant and has to date on numerous occasions been accused of 'cyber nagging' - a title which she seems to hold in high esteem and therefore warrants numerous emails being sent out.

I have now been Area 1 Rep since May 2010 and we hope you have enjoyed the events organised to date.  Obviously we are coming to the end of the season and we are currently putting together an agenda for next year.  Any ideas you may have would be gratefully received since our aim is to get as many members together at any one event as is possible. 

I think you will all agree that the 75th Anniversary year has been full of some quite exceptional events and encouraged a lot of  members to attend.  Lets continue this theme for 2011.

 Kindest regards,

Tim Butcher
