Month in review.
Dear members,
Hello and welcome to the 50th edition of Drivers Club Monthly. We hope you are all well and keeping warm.
To start with some exciting news - our fourth edition of idrive magazine arriving at your doors shortly, we hope you enjoy the read!
We started June with a Zoom meeting about our upcoming Tasmania Trip. It was great to have so many interested members along to hear from Peter Williams and Jo Mawson about the amazing trip they've got planned for us. We're really looking forward to getting back down to Tassie to see the beautiful countryside.

On the June long weekend we spent our weekend down at Port Fairy with the hope of seeing whales, but unfortunately they were nowhere to be seen! We still had a great trip with plenty of fun drives and catching up with new and old members we hadn't seen in a while.
____________________
On 19 June we then had our annual Sandown Come and Try/Driver Training Day which is always loads of fun. We must extend a special thank you to the drivers who attended to instruct and the volunteers who gave their time to ensure everyone could have a safe and enjoyable day.
____________________
We finished the month with our first fully funded First Aid training with National First Aid, who were brilliant. The event was well attended, and we're sure those who attended got a lot more from it than just a certificate.
