    The Chair
    Formally announcing the ‘Caterham and Lotus Seven Club’

    I am delighted to announce that effective from 7th November 2021, the
    Club formally became the “Caterham and Lotus Seven Club”
    following the decisive outcome of the members’ vote earlier in
    the year.

    Now that the formal name change has been adopted, the work of
    updating the Club’s identity throughout the many locations that
    it is used is proceeding. This process will of course take some
    time to complete but in the first instance, our new name is being
    displayed on November’s edition of Lowflying and is being rolled
    out across the Club’s various locations online.

    We have now adopted the new web domain: www.caterhamlotus7.club and
    whilst the old web address will continue to forward to this URL
    for some time, we would encourage all members to change their
    browser bookmarks to the new address, and also to note that the
    email addresses to contact Club officers have also changed (see
    November’s Lowflying or look on the Club website under “About Us”
    for details).

    A new range of Club merchandise is being worked on and will be
    available soon. The address to view and order merchandise online
    is now: www.7gear.store - do keep an eye on the range as this is
    surely the perfect Christmas present opportunity…

    The Leadership Team of the Caterham and Lotus Seven Club hopes
    that all members will fully embrace our new, more inclusive title
    which better reflects the full lineage of the cars we are so
    passionate about. We remain that same club of dedicated Seven
    enthusiasts, under the same Club logo motif that we adopted in
    2003. Only the name has changed — a little. As we have said
    before and are happy to repeat, the Club does not want to lose one
    iota of the Lotus Seven Club, just “add Caterham”.
