This month is our AGM where all positions will be declared vacant and a new Committee elected to run the Club for the next 12 months. If you are thinking about standing for a position or wishing to vote on the night you must be financial. Our Treasurer will have his trustworthy EFTPOS machine available on the night and the Membership Officer will be there as well to sort your membership renewal for those who are wishing to pay prior to the A.G.M. Inverell RSM Falcon GT Owners and Ford Enthusiasts Club are running Valla this year and are holding a competition for the best created Billycart/Esky/Pedal Car. Judging will take place at 3pm on Saturday behind the Woolshed. So, get your brain clicking and start inventing your best Billycart/Esky/Pedal Car. Also, merchandise should have been ordered so I hope everyone has placed theirs, if you haven’t unfortunately the deadline has passed. I want to thank those club members who gave suggestions on where we can hold our upcoming Christmas Party. It was awesome feedback from you which makes the committee members job easy and understanding on what members want for their breakup. We try and please everyone☺. In closing I want to take this opportunity to thank the outgoing Committee Members 2018/2019 for all your support you have given me for the past year without that support I don’t think I could off done this position as President. Also, to all club members thank you. Without your feedback, suggestions and support I couldn’t run our meetings.
