Your volunteer committee members for 2011 are:

Chair

Nikki Wright [Derbyshire Firkin Flyers]: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
Nikki joined 2CVGB in 1997 having got hooked on the cars after being taken out for a drive in a  friend's Charleston. ‘Nellie’, her 2CV, is a grey Belgian market Spécial, which Nikki made her own by adding pink wings and roof when she bought it and restored it in 1999. She has attended and organised many 2CV events in the UK and Europe, and organises 'green living' courses at the Derbyshire Eco Centre when not doing 2CV business.

Treasurer - volunteer needed!

C/o Mark Dunn: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
This role is currently being fulfilled by our Secretary, Mark Dunn. If you would be interested in taking over the role, please contact Mark or Nikki (our Chair) for more details.

Secretary

Mark Dunn ('Bean') [Godiva Two Horse Riding School]: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
'Bean' (Mark) first became a member of 2CVGB back in 1993 (for 2 years) after buying his first car a Beige Dyane 6 for £95 at the age of 17. In 2004 it all started again with the purchase of a 1983 Beachcomber, adding to this a couple of years on an 88 Grey/Grey Charleston and Bamboo. Bean works for a chauffeur company as the Company Secretary and occasional driver.

Membership Secretary

Simon Mackett ('Old Goat') [Cambridge Legless Frogs]: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
Simon is a relative newcomer to 2CVGB having bought his first 2CV in 2008, a broken 1985, 140,000-mile Charleston. The help received from other club members in getting ‘Old Goat’ (the car) back on the road, made him realise that this was a club worth getting involved with. So he did. Formerly a London bus driver, Simon has now retired and is the Club’s Membership Secretary.

Press & Public Relations Officer

Julian Kettleborough [Godiva Two Horse Riding School]: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
Julian is enthusiastic about (almost) everything, especially if it runs on two cylinders or tastes of chocolate. His passion for 2CVs started at the age of 6 and he’s been a member of 2CVGB since ’88. His travels have included numerous UK and overseas events, mostly in the Beachcomber he’s now owned for 23 years! He is responsible for all 2CVGB's PR and publicity.

Magazine Editor -  volunteer needed!

Webmistress

Anna Halfpenny [Cambridge Legless Frogs]: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
Anna has owned her '83 red Spécial, 'Poppy', since she was 17, and learnt to drive in it. She enjoys getting out and about to lots of local and international camps, and has been adventuring with 2CVGB for nearly 20 years. A freelance graphic and web designer by trade, Anna is responsible for the Club's website and Members' Forum, so please send her your photos and news items for her to share on the site.

Events Co-Ordinator/Local Groups

Premises & Assets

Simon Saint [WyeKnot 2CVs]: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
Simon has been driving Citroëns since 1970 starting with a Light 15 and an ID19, but soon moving up to a Dyane. His current 2CV is used as a daily car and has been owned by his family from new; it shares space with an H van and a Light 15. His other interests include restoring historic buildings and playing with his grandchildren.

SPOG (Spare Parts OrGanisation)

Registrar of Registers

Matthew Concannon ('Ami Matt') [Hertfordshire Hill Hoppers]: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
Matt has owned Citroën A series cars since 1992, learning to drive in a wreck of a '76 2CV, before discovering the Ami 8 by accident in 1997 after being run over by one at a camp. Seeing this as the future (due to concussion, probably) he has kept an Ami 8 on fleet since then, taking over the Ami Register in 1998. Matt has stayed true to the Ami even after being distracted by 2CVs, Dyanes, Ami Supers, Trabants, Wartburgs, mopeds, GS, CX, BX, and the mighty DS. Reduced to poverty after DS ownership, Matt  now drives a Citroën LNA as a penance, and represents the Registers on the committee in the role of Registrar of Registers. In this role he assists with dating and authentication for Club members' cars, and represents the Club to bodies such as SPOG, the DVLA and FBHVC.

Parts & Equipment

Mark Dunmore [Lincolnshire Pheasant Pluckers]: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
Mark joined 2CVGB in 1990, but has owned A-series Citroëns since he started driving in '85, the first being an Ami Super. His first 2CV, a Bleu Lagune Spécial, arrived in '89, followed by a Green & White Dolly in '91 which took him to his first 2CV World Meeting in Switzerland. A chance purchase of a Dyane in 1995 led to him taking the rôle of Dyane Registrar in '98. He has been responsible for the Club's Parts & Equipment since 2000.

Club Shop

Robert Hellawell [Aire Cooled Alley Cats]: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
Rob joined 2CVGB in 1990 after the purchase of his first car – a very shiny 1982 Rouge de Castille 2CV6 Spécial. He says that he wished he’d joined the club beforehand as the first job that he had to do on this car was to replace the chassis! This was achieved with considerable help from members of his local group, The Aire Cooled Alley Cats, and he’s not looked back since. Robert is married to Dalvinder; they have both been involved with the Club Shop since 2007.

Non-Designated (also H&S/Child Protection advisor)

Richard Cooper ('Coops'): This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
Coops joined 2CVGB in 1991 (he thinks) after purchasing a rather decrepit Myosotis (sp?) blue 2CV6 from a college chum. Strangely, he went to a World Meeting before his first club event after re-building the 2CV. Having owned many 2CVs, a couple of Dyanes, a couple of (non-running) AK400s and a rather lovely AZU, he is usually now seen cursing loudly at his H-van, waving the starting handle and threatening to put it on eBay if it doesn't start this time... All this will change, hopefully, when he has found enough fastenings to rebuild his wife's Méhari. After years lounging about at Club events he volunteered to join the committee to give something back to the Club. Hopefully, he will eventually pull his finger out and deliver on all the actions he routinely forgets to complete!

National Meeting Rep.

Vanessa Harrison [Deux Chevaux Blancs]: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
Vanessa has been riding around in 2CVs since the age of 3, thanks to her mum’s passion for la deuche.  Unfortunately, Vanessa’s dad was not so keen on our cars and banned her from having them when her mum passed away. Vanessa married Richard in 2004 and promptly bought another 2CV (nothing her dad could do about it now!), and she knows she’s married the right man because he allows her, not only 2CVs, but also ninety (or so) pairs of shoes! Having joined 2CVGB in 2004, Vanessa thought it was about time she gave something back to the club and proposed organising the National on behalf of Deux Chevaux Blancs in Oxford. She is currently taking a sabbatical to finish an MBA and MSc, but has worked in language teaching, translation and publishing in the past; she is also a qualified hairdresser and collects hats.

Mike has been a 2CVGB member since 1981 when his wife Judith had the good idea to buy 2CV. He has driven them in many countries.
