Arron Groombridge
Motorsport AssistantA penniless history degree student means road car experience has been limited to two MK1 Ford Focuses. Confident he holds the record for the most amount of punctures and wheel bearing failures suffered for that particular model!
Arron has a soft spot for most forms of motorsport, in particular endurance sports car racing. Road car wise, most 1970s/1980s luxury saloon & GT cars do the trick, or a current Volvo S90.

Lorna Chadwick
Club AdministratorLorna '2' joined the CSCC in 2010 and as the second Lorna here, has picked up the unfortunate number '2' title to save both of them looking around when calling their name!
Lorna '2', among other things, is responsible for processing your race entry forms and card payments. If you are lucky enough to speak to Lorna on the phone it is most likely because she can't read your writing or you haven't paid your bill!
