Next meeting 7.30pm Wednesday 23rd June 2021. Note – Vice President David Chawthorn will be Chairing the meeting. I will be touring Northern Territory 19th June – 1st July.

Last meeting, we battled the cold and competition from the State of Origin and only 35 attended. We enjoyed a special presentation from club members Dan Matthews, Bob and Mike Muir on their club motor racing adventures with Manly Warringah Sporting Car Club at Wakefield Park. Some exciting opportunities at reasonable cost for those wanting to participate. Thank you, guys, for an excellent presentation.  Later, football fans were able to watch the game from the comfort of the bar after the meeting and NSW was happy - most happily socialised there.  

At this weeks General Meeting, Graeme Smith spoke about our need for a new role within PMEA. Click HERE to view the Publicity and Communications Officer Expression of Interest flyer which sets out what the role is about, and it is hoped you may wish to assist. If you are interested and wish to discuss, please contact me, or email Graeme on treasurerpmea@bigpond.com.

AGM will be on Wednesday 7th July 2021, at 7.30pm. Nominations for committee positions must be received in writing by Secretary, Gavin by 5pm Wed 30 June 2021. Click HERE to view CLUB PROCEDURES on website or Click HERE to view the CONSTITUTION for AGM rules. General meeting follows the AGM.

A novelty auction will be held on 7th July to sell two historic “Pittwater” number plate attachments (auctioned separately) which are new “old stock” and unavailable since 2016. In the “old days” the Club registrar would issue number plates and these club attachments were screwed to the number plate to identify your club. These were found recently amongst our old regalia supplies by member Jeff Tinker. Save up and bid well – all funds going to our club.
