I thank Dean for putting his hand up & welcome him to the position. He will be assisting Graham by taking & reading out meeting minutes. Whilst we have a full committee, the number of people attending many of the events the club has organized in recent times has not been as many as we would like, which is disappointing. However, those who attended have always enjoyed themselves & while they may not be able to get to every event, certainly look forward to the next time they can. I know that our members who are interested in motor sport generally get what they want out of belonging to the club without attending some of the non racing activities that the club organizes, but if you are one of the members who doesn’t get along to many, or any, of the activities the club has throughout the year, I encourage you to do so, you may get more out of it that you think you would. Unfortunately no suitable alternative properties for our clubroom have yet become available, but the search is continuing. I urge you to read the article “Important Notice re Clubrooms” in this magazine. It is really pleasing to report that our Modern Regularity events are continuing to grow in popularity with the number of entries doubling in the past few years – from the high teens a few years ago up to the high 30’s in recent times. This is testament to the type of events that Tony Morgan & the rest of the team make happen. I wish you all a very Happy & Safe Easter. Marie & I along with Graham & Carol Buesnel, David Franklin & Rosemary Davis, George & Pam Keil, Greg & Julie Lindsay and Graham & Marylou Pearce will be celebrating Easter in Forbes, NSW attending the Austins Over Australia Rally. I would like you to join me in welcoming the following new members & wish them a long & enjoyable time within the club.
