About a hundred members and friends were present at the annual dinner and dance of the Yorkshire Centre of the Junior Car Club, which was held in Leeds.

Dyer, the general secretary of the club. There were also a number of representatives from the club’s Liverpool and North Wales Centre, whilst several members had come quite long distances for the function.

In the course of his speech, Mr. Dyer congratulated the Centre on the progress it had made, both financially and from the membership standpoint, during 1930.
