A situation that has developed and changes weekly. There can be no denying the exponential growth in this virus’s spread, so as you are no doubt aware, there are a number of government restrictions and health recommendations which are already in place, and new ones being introduced at times, we seem to have respectable control of the Virus in Queensland, but this still will affect the way the Queensland Corvette Club Inc. can operate in the future. The Management Committee conveys to all QCC Members that they must comply with all the up to date Government Regulations/Restrictions & respect your other Members & their Family on all Events/ Runs going into the future.

ABN 37 497 880 910 PRESIDENTS REPORT MARCH 2021 Hi fellow Corvetters, here we go again in lockdown hopefully everyone copes well and it only lasts for the three days. Last month’s runs were well attended - thank you for all your support and hope- fully we see more of you in the coming months. FYI - please note that we have moved the Belvedere Hotel run to Sunday 20th June, sorry for any inconvenience. The David Hack Classic Meet at Toowoomba Airport is coming up in the middle of May. I do need some feedback if you are interested in attending so I can organise parking. This will be an early morning departure, approx. 6.15 am, from Rocklea driving for around 1.5 hrs and approx. 125kms. $10 entry fee per vehicle to show our Vettes - there will be more info/Run Write-up in the May Vetteletter. Jumpers & Jazz / Car Display at Warwick in July, I am considering 2 options: • Option 1: Saturday run and staying overnight and the Show Sunday. • Option 2: Leaving early on the Sunday morning for just the day with a 2hr run and 150km. If you could let me know if you are interested in attending because if we are staying overnight, I will need to book accommodation early. Corvettes on the Coast 2021 @ Carrara Markets is confirmed for Sunday 30th May and organisation is well underway. The flyer is in this Vetteletter and I will be sending out a bulk email with entrant’s forms and conditions of entry in the next week. The Committee has approved no charge for Qld Cor- vette Club Members and $10 for any other Corvette which will be donated to our charities, every Entrant will receive a $20 food voucher to redeem at the Hungry Hub. The committee has discussed membership fees for 2022 and this will be brought to the April Club Meeting for discussion and approval. Should you wish to be involved in this decision then we look for- ward to seeing you at the meeting. Please support your Club where and when you can, and hopefully I will see you on one of the runs soon. Do not forget please to let the Trip Leaders know if you are attending any Runs/Events so we can organise these appropriately and professionally. Drive you Dream.
