CarlByrne

The Saab Owners Club are sad to report that one of its most dedicated members Carl Byrne has recently passed away. We would like to wish our sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Carl was one of the most active members within our club and always went the extra mile to attend as many club events as he could. He was a lovely man, great company, and he loved his Saab cars. Myself, and those that knew him will truly miss him, may he rest in peace.

The funeral of Carl Byrne will be taking place Wednesday 18th May at 11.00am The Oratury Church, Plough and Harrow, Edgbaston, West Midlands, B16 8UE. All that knew him are welcome

The mystery began to unfold on Saturday morning with a drive along gloriously empty roads under blue skies up into rural Scotland to visit the Kagyu Samye Ling Tibetan Temple at Eskdalemuir (nobody expected a visit the foothills of the Himalayas).

North of Scotland

There is no formal Branch currently in operation (largely as a result of the sheer geographical spread of members across this area) and therefore no regular meetings.
Where possible, there is usually an  SOC 'presence' at gatherings across the region organised by other clubs, motor museums or advertised on web forums (principally UKSaabs).

The dates known so far for 2020 at which we aim to be represented are:

  • 26th Apr           FBHVC 'Drive It Day' 2020  - various local runs (I'll be attending the one organised by the Highland Classic Motor Club, Inverness)
  • 9th May            Inverness Classic Vehicle Show - on the streets of Inverness with Parade finale led by pipe band
  • 10th May         Grampian Transport Museum, Alford, Aberdeenshire - "How Many Left" event for 'nearly classic' vehicles with fewer than 500 examples on the road
  • 23rd May         Rotary Club of East Sutherland Classic Car Tour, Dornoch
  • 11/12th Jul      46th Scottish Transport Extravaganza, Glamis Castle, Angus (see UKSaabs forum for details)
