I am a member of three RR&B clubs. I have visited many meetings in The Netherlands and the UK, but also in Germany, Belgium and Sweden. All clubs are also interesting because of their very beautiful club magazines.
De Mascotte
In 1996 I subscribed to De Mascotte, in the Netherlands the biggest club of Rolls-Royce and Bentley owners. This club has a club magazine called "De Mascotte". I published my first article in this magazine in 1997. From 2002 on I have uninterruptedly written articles in this magazine, many of them about Silver Shadow models. During five years I have been the chief editor of the club magazine and during eight years I (created and) maintained the club website.
During my membership I have given several presentations about Silver Shadow models and since 2010 also about the Silver Spirit generation.
In January 2009 I was appointed honorary member of De Mascotte.
RROC
In 2004 I became a member of the RROC, the American "International Club for Rolls-Royce and Bentley Owners & Enthusiasts". This club has a club magazine called "The Flying Lady".
In the magazine of the affiliate club "Modern Car" I have published several articles, such as about model years from the Silver Spirit era.
RREC
In 2006 I became a member of the RREC, the English "Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts' Club". This club has had a club magazine called "The Bulletin", that nowadays is called "Spirit & Speed". From 2018 onwards in this magazine I have published several articles as well.
From mid 2014 to 2017 together with two other RREC members I have been the registrar of the SZ Register. All details can be found on rrsilverspirit.com/sz
