Thursday 19th Codger Run – TBA CRN6/20 Contact: Dave & Sandy PLEASE REF TO INSIDE FRONT COVER FOR CALENDAR OF ANNUAL EVENTS Phone 9477 2000 132 George Street, HORNSBY 4 Message 28/01/20 I trust you all had a happy holiday season with family and friends and I wish you all the very best for the year. First event for 2020 was All American day at Macarthur Square organised by The Mustang Owners Club of NSW. Despite the rain, the day was reasonable considering all the problems that have been impacting the country the last few months. The rain really was a positive considering how hot it could have been. There was a good range of vehicles to interest most car enthusiasts, from well-maintained stock vehicles to the highly modified cars. The standout Corvette of the day was Charlie Micallef's C2. Charlie came away with two trophies for his immaculate well-presented vehicle. Well done Charlie and Vicki. And I would agree - the Best Corvette at the show. Next week is the Nelson Bay Run, I look forward to seeing you all there. It is difficult to think of anything positive to look forward this year, with all the problems that have plagued our country in the last few months.

Hope everyone is safe after the currents events we have had here in NSW. Let’s look forward to a positive and exciting new year with our NSW Corvette club. We attended the All American day on 19th January, even with the inclement weather, it was a great roll up from our members. Some members turned up without their Corvettes, but in any event, great to see you all there. Congratulations to Charlie receiving 2 trophies with his beautiful C2. Nelsons Bay is our next Club event, always a great weekend and a good drive up the coast to show off your pride and joy. No doubt I will have lots of stories to report in the next club magazine, stay tuned I am sure it will be very interesting. That’s all from me until next time.
