Mon – Fri 3 MRADMC MOTORMOUTH President’s Press Alan Martin As we rapidly approach another AGM, we are also beginning to get some better weather for getting our classics out and about. It seems that the cold months drag on for longer and longer each year these days. In a few weeks’ time the club will have a new committee in place. Most of the faces will be very familiar, as the majority of the current committee will continue in their current roles. I hope that we will also have one or two new faces that will jump on board and keep the club moving forward. I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of the members for their ongoing support of the Committee and the club. I would also like to thank the current committee for their ongoing commitment to the running of the club, without the continued efforts of this small group of dedicated members this club may not be the great club that it is. As the weather improves, we can look forward to getting out and about in our classics and enjoying everything our hobby offers. I look forward to chatting to you all and checking out your vehicles. Although we may join the club for many different reasons, we all share the same passion. Keep on motoring 4 MRADMC MOTORMOUTH From the Editor’s Keyboard Peter Amezdroz Hi all, A great day has been planned for Bathurst day at the club, so come along with the kid and let them play with what we used to play with in our youth.
