As usual, the election of a new Committee will take place. The present Committee has been serving the interests of Members virtually unchanged for a number of years now. We would urge all members to take part in the running of the Club and put your names forward for consideration at the AGM. It is not too onerous a task, and helping fellow members make the most of their Club experience is very satisfying. The present Committee are there to help and guide any new participants to help them gain the confidence to settle into their new positions. The Club can only move forward if we have new ideas and the means to progress them.
So please give it some consideration!
You can download and print a Committee Nomination Form here; please complete it and forward it to Jenni at the above address.

The arrangements for the November 139th Wayne’s car enthusiasts’ drive and lunch are as follows:
– Wednesday 6th November. – The forecast is 25 deg. with a chance of rain in the late afternoon. But it will be the eastern shore, so tops down.
– starting at the Rivulet Café, bottom of Anglesea Street, South Hobart, around 10.15am for
morning coffee.
-Parking – there’s plenty of space in the parking areas so park as many as we can together as it’s a great photo opportunity. Try to leave spaces closer to the swings, etc for the young families..
– departing around 11.15am and arriving around 12.30pm for lunch. The cost is around $25 per person for two courses and a choice of meals (Retiree’s specials)
Venue clue – The forecast looks good so it’s tops down (cars!!) and sun hats.
We will be travelling in convoy with a little bit of country life on show – you know, cattle, sheep. alpacas grazing alongside wineries and expanding orchards.
Lunch is two courses (Soup and main or main and dessert) at $25.00 for seniors (Senior’s special.)
– RSVP required by 5.00pm on Monday 4th Nov. to Buggy at bugg2327@gmail.com or SMS on 0418336861

Please Note
RSVP’s by Monday evening are essential and that they must be honoured. Please
make sure that you receive the route instructions at the C3 café for checking off so that we
can inform the venue of final numbers before we leave.
Also when leaving the C3 café we nominate a leader and nobody should leave until
indicated by the lead car.
By accepting this invitation, you are making a commitment to attend the drive and lunch. If
you withdraw after the deadline or do not turn up on the day, you also accept responsibility
to pay for your lunch if required by the venue. This is to avoid the organiser being asked to
cover your costs (as has happened in the past).
Remaining drive for the year is on Wednesday 4th December to be arranged by Bob Leeson
Cheers for now,
