The GTC AGM and Awards Day was its familiar format but in a beautiful new venue – The Wood Norton Hotel near Evesham.

The day started at noon with a free buffet lunch, followed by the AGM. The afternoon included a chance to ride on Segways, view and try out drone photography, and admire a collection of members' gorgeous classic cars.

Free drinks and buffet dinner followed, before settling down for the main event of the day, the GTC Awards Presentation, sponsored by MediaFlights.com and Performance Insurance. View the video of the day by clicking here.


BBC WOOD NORTON TOUR

The tour, for a limited number of members only, was hosted by one of the few remaining staff members at BBC Wood Norton. The 10 lucky members saw what the site is used for now and heard much of its incredibly varied history.

SEGWAY FUN – sponsored by

Luckily the weather brightened up just in time and members had great fun trying out the Segway obstacle course and there were no reported accidents! Actually, most people seemed to report greatly enjoying the ride and commented that they felt remarkably stable and safe.

GTC Council Member John Tarby said:

"I learned to water ski at a GTC weekend (on Lake Windermere) many years ago; now I’ve learned to Segway on a GTC weekend. Whatever next? Certainly the most Zen activity I have ever tried. If you’ve never done this before, you really should should give it a go. It’s so weird…"


DRONE DEMO

presented by GTC Member, Michael Kheng
of Kurnia Aerial Photography

Michael brought along two DJI Inspire 2s (one with an X5s camera and one with an X7), a DJI Phantom 4 Pro, DJI Mavic 2 Pro, DJI OSMO Pocket and DJI OSMO Action. He set up in the field with the Segways and luckily the weather didn't prevent him flying. He fielded questions from an interested group of members and let them have a controlled go with the drones.


CLASSIC CARS

A few lucky members travelled to the event in their classic cars. Models included our Chair, Graham Maunder's Jaguar E-Type, a Jaguar XK120, a Mini-Moke and a Triumph TR4. They were arranged in a 'Concours d'Elegance' in front of the hotel.


SPONSORED BAR

From 5 pm onwards, there were free drinks in The Orangery Bar, generously sponsored by CVP.
