THE STEERING WHEEL CLUB
MEMBERS, PATRONS & GUESTS OF THE STEERING WHEEL CLUB
Listed in no particular order, (other than alphabetically). Generally I'm unable to confirm actual Membership as I'm not in possession of a list of former Members or their Membership Numbers. The families of former patrons often believe their relative was a Member but are unable to specifically confirm it. Entry to the Club was pretty lax in so much as the warm welcome extended to just about anyone who looked and spoke the part! The following are persons known to have been a Member, visited the Club regularly, or are known to have visited it. The list is constantly evolving, thus in the event that a Member is not listed, please contact the Author via the Steering Wheel Club website in order that the list can be updated.
