MONTH IN REVIEW
Dear members
As we started June back in lockdown, we had to shuffle our members meeting back a few weeks and unfortunately we had to postpone our long weekend of Whale Watching to later in the year.
____________________
Luckily we were still able to run our Sandown Driver Training and Come & Try Day on 19 June, which was very well attended with 55 entrants. We would like to thank all of the volunteer officials who made this day as good as it was. We were also very lucky with a fantastic sunny day.
You will have seen in our last newsletter that we were running a competition with Makulu for a driver to have their entry paid at Sandown. Nella was the lucky winner and you can read her story here. We are running this again for our Broadford Driver Training and Come and Try Day. You'll find more information further down in this newsletter.

We were finally able to hold our members meeting at Makulu Vehicle Storage on 22 June. We were treated to a tour of the SouthernBM Collection and also had two representatives attend from Century Batteries, who showed us some of their products. Thanks very much to SouthernBM, Makulu Vehicle Storage and Century Batteries for the great meeting.

We finished our month on 27 June with our drive to Point Nepean. We began at Mornington, taking some fantastic roads around the Peninsula before we arrived at Point Nepean for a couple of hours of exploring. We then travelled back to the Pig and Whistle at Arthurs Seat for a delicious late lunch.

FROM THE WELFARE TEAM
Your impact on other people is bigger than you think. Someone still giggles when they think of that funny thing you said. Someone still smiles when they think of the compliment you gave them. Someone silently admires you. The advice you give had made a difference for people. The support and love you’ve offered others, has made someone’s day. Your input and opinions have made someone think twice. You’re not insignificant and forgotten. Your existence make a positive difference, whether you see it or not.
