I will start this month off , but would like to see some participation from fellow mem- bers . The club and magazine belongs to all of us So lets make it even better than it has been. Neale has told me there are still some positions Vacant . To all the members young and old please put your hand up. Positions still available are Trip Master Public Relations Officer Social Co– Ordinator Supper person 3 From the President Good tidings to all. This my first editorial as president of this great club. Let’s begin my wife, Roz, and I joined the club 9 years ago and were amazed at the friendliness and helpfulness of the club’s members. Since then I have been, for the past 6 years, actively engaged in driver training, as well as a stint as Trip master. Now I am turning my hand as President, I am positive that with the guidance of your elected committee we will be able to continue to keep the club in the right direction. I would like to thank the outgoing President, Craig Green, as well as the past committee for their resolve and efforts in guiding the club in a fantastic direction. I would like to thank the newly elected committee for putting up their hands for their positions. We still require the positions of Editor, Publicity Officer, Social Co-Ordinator, Tripmaster, and Refreshment’s Co-Ordinator to be filled, I would like to hope that these will be filled at the next general meeting 12th September 2019 in the Tuggerah Primary School at 8.00pm. Coming up in the next couple of months are the October long weekend at our we-leaser and then the most important event of the year the Xmas party which will be held on Saturday 23rd November 2019 also as the we- leaser. Of good news we have purchased a new Santa suit to replace the old one which has gone missing. Watch the magazine for more details. Another topic of great concern is growth of membership and the number of trips that are scheduled in the magazine. We should not rely on a few members to run all the trips. If you have any thoughts or ideas to increase these topics, please do not hesitate to let members of the committee or myself know. Best Regards Neale Simpson President CC4WDC [email protected] 0404 843 445 4 A REQUEST FOR HELP As has been mentioned before, we are trying to attract some more fami- lies into our club to keep it balanced and fun for ALL age groups. We are looking for ideas that will assist us to attract more families with kids to the club and also to get more of the members with kids to partici- pate in more activities. Please put your thinking caps on and let us know via email or Facebook if you have any ideas, or if you are a family with kids, what sort of events would you like to see. It doesn’t have to be four wheel driving, any event that gets us together and having some fun is all we are looking for. So please, give it some thought and let us know. The committee’s email addresses are all on the second page of this magazine. 5 General Meeting Tuggerah Primary School, Thursday 8TH August 2019 Meeting Opened 8.03pm by President Craig Welcomed all members and guests Attendance As per attendance sheet Apologies Jo & Paul Kelly, Lisa Good, Rod & Lynne, Bob Tapscott, Les Douglass, Jackie Visitors Mario Orlando, Mark Plum, Neil Anderson Minutes of the previous meeting; Motion; That the minutes for the General Meeting held on the 11th July as published in the magazine be accepted.
