ALL MEETINGS AT THIS STAGE ARE STILL ON HOLD, PLEASE REFER TO THE ANNUAL CALENDER FOR ALL MAJOR EVENTS. 4 Greetings Members, CLUB MEETINGS: By the time you see this edition of our magazine, the Committee and I will have had a meeting at Sydney Motorsport Park on 6th April with the view of holding a full club meeting the following month - 4th May. All members will receive an email to confirm the times, location, etc. We have seen conflicting information regarding the All American Day held by the MOCA. I spoke with David Livian, President of MOCA NSW last week and he informed me that there will be up to date information posted on their Facebook page. At this stage the event will be held on the 4th July - American Independence Day! Cheers, BOB FITZSIMMONS Gathering under the hood for generations.

Last month we were able to attend the weekend away to Ulladulla, this is the first time we ventured south instead of the usual trip to Nelson Bay. We had a fabulous time, doing something different in the small town of Mogo. We had a terrific roll up of members which in turn made for a really enjoyable weekend. Due to the covid relaxation of rules we will be trying to get our monthly meetings up and running again very soon. We are currently looking into a new meeting place for our monthly meetings and this will be announced shortly. Once again Easter is fast approaching, unfortunately no convention again this year. So have a Happy and Safe Easter and drive safely. Cheers Tony Secretary's Report - Belinda Hi Car Clubbers, Late last year we were informed that Brighton Recreation Club were going to start reno- vations, which meant that we were unable to use the room for meetings. As we move into 2021 and with Covid still front of mind, the Committee are trying out a new location for our club meeting and we are hopeful that we will be able to have our first Club meeting in May. I will keep everyone updated. Membership is up for renewal at the end of June. For those new members who have paid a full year outside of the normal July to June, I will be in touch about pro-rata renewals to bring everyone into line with the renewal schedule.

This mid-engined marvel continues to forge its legacy with every start up. Take the wheel and feel the balance of design and performance that puts the Corvette — and whoever's driving — ahead. For 2021, the performance and unmistakable presence of the Corvette reach new frontiers with new design options, FE2 suspension, driver mode selector display and mobile phone projection. The Chevrolet Corvette has until now stuck to a familiar recipe: big-cubic-inch engine up front (initially a straight six, and a V8 from 1955 onwards) and the cabin set well back from the front axle.
