  • Gary is working on getting a programme sorted to be able to upload photos of the Snow Run. As soon as he gets it all done and ready you'll be able to see your pics. I'll be learning how to put photos on the website too so hopefully soon we'll have an awesome picture gallery. Gary is still working on DVD's of the 2009 Snow Run.
  • Bathurst at the club was a success, thanks to Les for organising it all. He got hold of a mini grandstand to watch the race on a big screen, and the food kept coming all day, AND, the bar made a profit. He's keen to do it again next year so hopefully more members (and mates) will come along. Bonus at the end of the day, it was Matts birthday and his partner having slaved over a hot stove all day (ah, that might be a Tui) presented him with a Chocolate and Baileys cake, which he was obliged to share. YUM! Thanks for that. Laughing
  • The Christmas Parade is coming up - Saturday the 5th of December. About 9 guys have indicated they're keen to show off their babies. We'll get more details about where and what time to meet closer to the date. Great publicity for the club, and yeah, your cars.
  • Cruise for a Cause was a HUGE success - bigger than expected by some! One car had 140 tickets for rides.
  • Four new members attended the meeting on Thursday (5 Nov) - Jason, Cam, Gary and Craig. Next club meeting is Thursday the 3rd of December. Have a look at the Club events calendar to keep up to date with what happening where and when, and if you want anything added that you're attending, email Lesley.
