A WELCOME FROM THE CHAIRMAN
 

Welcome to the web site for the South Eastern Section of the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts' Club. We think this is probably the best section you could join, it is certainly the busiest but to take part in what we have to offer you must join the RREC first!

The committee and I would like to extend a warm invitation to you to join us at any event in 2013 whether a member of the South Eastern Section or not. In fact you would be welcome just as an interested enthusiast of all things Rolls-Royce or Bentley who enjoys talking about motorcars! But beware - we will try to talk you into joining the RREC post haste, as we believe that it is the best one make car club and the only club to serve your needs as a Rolls-Royce and Bentley enthusiast, owner or yet to be an owner of one of these fantastic motorcars.

Our members have an infectious interest in all things automotive and meet at some of the most interesting and most beautiful venues in the South East of England, castles, historic homes, gardens, aerodromes, vineyards and museums, they have all featured in past programmes and most will do so again in 2013.

I am Stephen Fabman-Beker, Chairman of the Section and Editor of our magazine aided and assisted by nine Committee Members. They are all incorrigible motoring enthusiasts who would be pleased to meet you, discuss the club and our section within it or just pass the time of day.

Our members drive a diverse range of motorcars from Ghosts to 20hp to 25/30's to 1950's Continentals, 1960' Clouds, 1970's Shadows, 1980's Mulsanne's and Spirits to 1990's Bentley Continental GT's Flying Spurs and Turbo R's RT's and Arnages , Silver Spurs and the current Goodwood Phantom. Our Prize Giving in July 2010 had a very fine line-up of 100 cars and over 300 people, we welcome everyone, car or no car, section member or 'about to join' enthusiast to come and experience what being a member of the R-REC is like. Who knows, you may like what you see and join the club, join the section and make those predictable weekends a thing of the past. If you would like to receive a complimentary South Eastern Section magazine please contact me and one will be sent by return.

Members pay a donation towards its production and their input and written contributions are always welcome. We publish the best section magazine in the club, probably, well I would say that but I believe it! It supplies information about the numerous events held throughout the year. Events range from a light hearted Concours & Section Prize Giving to Wings Wheels & Steam at Groombridge, Garden and Castle visits, cream teas and picnics as well as winter lunches. We have an 8-day Continental Rally to Luxembourg in September ~always a good event to get to know people.

South Eastern Section members are a great mix of friendly people who show their satisfaction by turning up in force at every event. 45 cars and 150 people are not unusual attendance numbers and our August Prize Giving sees tripple that number.

Whatever section you belong to you would be most welcome to join us and if you are thinking about buying your first Rolls-Royce or Bentley please come and discuss your thoughts and questions with our members - they are always willing to pass on knowledge and advise new owners. Once you have bought your club car you will need to entrust its maintenance to a trusted garage, we can help you there too as our section has some of the best Rolls-Royce specialists in the country. The committee and I look forward to seeing you in 2013.
