Back to Toyota for the 2026 Guild AGM

The Guild of Motoring Writers is delighted to announce that the 81st Annual General Meeting will be held on Thursday 18th June 2026 (writes Honorary Secretary, Richard Netherwood). Courtesy of Toyota, the event will return to the company’s Media Experience Centre in Crawley for a second year.

More details of the event and detailed timings will follow, but it is anticipated that it will start at 10:00, ahead of the AGM commencing at 11:00. Afterwards, guests will be able to tour the Media Experience Centre and drive cars from both the Toyota heritage collection and the current press fleet – a popular choice for many attendees last year.

Nominations are being sought from Full members for vacancies on the Committee. Anyone wishing to stand should send a letter of nomination confirming their willingness to serve, along with a proposal signed by another Full GOMW member, to the General Secretary Melissa Chadderton by Thursday 21st May.

Full details, including changes made at the 2022 Guild AGM around Chair and Vice-Chair nominations and re-election, can be found in the Guild Rules. Any resolutions to be put to the meeting should be forwarded to the General Secretary by Thursday 21st May.
