President’s Report – March 2021
PRESIDENT’S REPORT – MARCH 2021
Well, another month is behind us and in that time, we had an excellent March meeting and a great turnout for the Day of Triumph at Civic Park, Ti Tree Gully.
Attendance at the last meeting was as good as it has been all year. Members were treated to a hot supper and 2 cars on stage, a 1964Van Den Plas ‘Princess’ and a 2004 Clubman (Mazda MX5 essentials) presented respectively by Stephen Wade and Chez Hobbs. Thanks to the presenters and to Duane for organising the cars on stage. No Triumphs but both cars were of interest.
Other highlights of the night included
- a quiz by Roger Lange, on Spitfires, won by Duane. This looks like being a regular monthly feature
- a regalia fashion parade and auction and
- display of a magnificent quilt made by Natalie Farrell from National Rally regalia and insignias
Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the Day of Triumph as I had another commitment at Victor Harbor. Given the short notice, I was quite concerned that we might be well down on numbers. However, Ian Rigby, informs me that the day was highly successful, with 40 cars displayed, including those of a number of reasonably new members. He had great support from all who attended and very much appreciated the Primo breakfast/lunch vouchers supplied by Dino and Lisa Vitesse.
Margie and Bill have a full quota for the Weekender in May. That is great news and don’t forget the Observation Run coming up shortly on Sunday 18 April. Details are supplied elsewhere.
And to the left is why I like green.
If you are travelling over Easter, I hope the weather is fine and the roads are safe. I look forward to seeing you again in April.
Kind regards,
Peter Davidge (President)
