Hello to all,
Important news – change of meeting night. The Royal Motor Yacht Club has closed trading on Monday and Tuesday nights for the winter.
Tuesday 11th May will be our last Tuesday meeting but with no bistro or bar facilities open.
Wednesday or Thursday evenings at 7.30pm are available to us with all usual bar/bistro facilities. Members at next Tuesday’s meeting can vote which they prefer, or if not attending, send me a text, email or phone to advise your preference.
Other news
Last Sunday, 2nd May, our free BBQ at McCarrs Creek reserve featured Euro vehicles. Attendance was about 75 so it was a great opportunity for new members to meet others and wander around the many interesting vehicles. Volunteer chefs initiated our splendid new stainless steel BBQs. Raffle prizes were decided by throwing French boules at the cochonet! Weather was perfect again. All good fun!
Looking further ahead we need to prepare for the Unique Vehicle Display at RMYC on Sunday, 23rd May. There is a great variety of vehicles, including motor bikes and hotrods. We have about 65 entries so far, but we have room for 90 vehicles. Since we have 423 members, we should be over supplied with entries or donations. (Even $10 per member = $4230) This is a big charity fund raiser for kids with cancer at Bear Cottage so please make the effort to support the club to help those less fortunate. Our club has a great reputation for helping others – please contribute a donation if you can’t make an entry – just fill in an entry form and label it as donation instead of vehicle details – then email to RMYC or hand in at the meeting. Or attend with family & friends on the day with donation entry at least a gold coin per person. Last entries accepted at our next meeting or contact me if you need help.
About 10 or 12 volunteers are needed to collect entry money on the day and for judging of vehicles. About 5 are needed on the Sat pm prior to number the parking spaces at the RMYC – please contact me or volunteer at next Tuesday's meeting.
Happy motoring and enjoy your club – your attendance is our measure of success!
