The Giulietta Register UK visited Brugge in Belgium and Bergen op Zoom in The Netherlands on the way to the exciting Spettacolo Sportivo Alfa Romeo event at the Zandvoort Circuit in The Netherlands. Thanks to the event organisers, SCARB, and to all our good friends in the Dutch Alfa Romeo Giulietta Club for such a warm welcome and true hospitality during our visit, especially the wonderful Louwmann Museum tour and our drive together through the beautiful Green Heart of Holland. It was great fun and we look forward to welcoming you all in the UK sometime soon.
The event, held over two days is a wonderful combination of groups of aircraft and car enthusiasts, numbers are not overwhelming, and many dressed in period fashions or military uniforms complete with period picnic accoutrements. It is all quite relaxed with a refreshing lack of the hungry commercialism now to the fore in some other events.

Our trip to Aix les Bain in the foothills of the French Alps combined superb driving routes with a relaxed itinerary - both made even more enjoyable by warm sunny weather for almost the whole week. We were 19 people, including two couples from the USA, driving in ten cars (including a late model MGF which managed to keep up most of the time). We crossed from UK into France by train from Folkstone on 7 June, returning from Calais on 14 June.

The Annual General Meeting of the Giulietta Register was held on 2 April 2017 at The Barns Hotel in Bedford, UK. It was fine weather and top-down enjoyment for the many members attending in their spiders. Sprints were also more numerous than in past years, including an inaugural outing for Stuart Passey's painstakingly restored and drop-dead gorgeous early low nose lightweight Sprint prototype.
The Chairman, Richard Wigley, and all members of the Committee were unanimously re-elected for another term, to the relief of others present. However, in accepting their re-election, Don MacLean, Editor of the Giuliettaletta, and Tony Ives, UK Events Organiser, announced that they would be stepping down during the coming year after serving in their respective capacities for several years.
