NEQ ANNUAL MEETING // SAT, JANUARY 6, 2024
Join us for the first in-person annual meeting post COVID!
We are planning for our annual meeting to be held on Saturday, January 6, 2024 at the Ethan Allen hotel in Danbury, CT. A banquet on Saturday night will be held following the meeting and a cocktail hour.
Your Club, Your Voice.
NEQ was started in the early 1990s by motoring enthusiasts who were also friends. As interest in the events grew, so did the group. The mainstay was always a family-like atmosphere coupled with the quality of instruction at driving events.
Over the years, club members have come and gone - some far too soon. Most, if not all, of those individuals left their own indelible mark and a sense of purpose for the rest of us to use as example. It is out of this purpose that we hold our events throughout the year. To kick off 2024, our annual meeting with be a mix of recapping what we accomplished in 2023 and what we endeavor in 2024.
Like those enthusiasts and friends before us, we hope you will have your voices heard. Like those enthusiasts and friends before us, we hope you will have your voices heard - we want to be sure that your club knows what you like about our events and what you think can be improved or added.
Please join us in Danbury at the Ethan Allen Inn. We have a special room rate for those who need to stay the evening. We have an excellent a banquet planned with Simon Kirkby speaking to the group about his 5+ decades of Motorsport experience!
Happy motoring!
