All ready for the big day? Christmas is a great time for celebration, especially for the kids.

For
us it may be a time for a break and relaxation. Or receive that box of
spanners or special tool you've been waiting for to complete that
overdue repair on the classic in the garage.
Whatever your way of celebrating the team at your club wish you
A Very Merry Christmas from the committee and organisers at CCHMSC

classic out in the new year too drive some of the spectacular roads
around Scotland.
