MONTH IN REVIEW
Graeme and Jo are now back from their 6 week stint in Europe and are busy planning the rest of the year out in motorsport and events.
"We are now a couple of months old and WOW, what a couple of months it has been!
When we first started down the road of building a new club and all the work it took to get it off the ground, we thought it would be great if in six months or a year we had 100 members, maybe a couple of years we might even make 200. I can’t tell you how proud and grateful I am, that it only took few short weeks to welcome our 100th member and now we are well on our way to 200. I am amazed. Thank you for joining and we hope we can give you what you want from a club. If there is anything you want to do, or think might be fun for us to organise, please drop us a line and you never know, we might just run with the idea. Our door is always open, and we are always looking for ideas. It is your club after all." - Graeme Bell. Read the full President's Report here.
Over the last month we have been doing a lot of work on our website. Our motorsport pages are now up and running and we have dates set for our "mini" Drivers' Championship for 2018! Special thanks to AROCA, who have allowed us to run our championship at their rounds this year.
There is also now a 'members only' area, where our members can find committee meeting minutes, our Drivers' Championship rules, information on BMW Clubs Australia and member services. We are keen to support those who support us, so if you would like to feature your business on our member services page we'd love to hear from you!
We had a number of events in June - we had our first members meeting at Shannons Insurance with our "Have you ever wondered why?" themed night. It was a great success and created some great discussion! Read more on the night here.
We then enjoyed a fantastic day at SkyHigh, Mount Dandenong on Queens Birthday! The weather certainly put on a show and our members had a fantastic day! You can read more about our trip to SkyHigh here.
We also had a number of members attend the AROCA sprint day at Phillip Island on 30 June to compete and also do the pace laps! The weather wasn't the best but that didn't deter anyone. Keep an eye on our website to read more about this.
THE MONTH AHEAD
July is looking exciting with the first round of our Drivers' Championship! Christmas in July is happening as we speak with a fantastic turn out of almost 40 so unfortunately you've missed out on that one if you're not there. If you are there, we hope you had a great day!

29 July 2018
On Sunday, 29 July we've been invited to Cars & Coffee with the Mercedes-Benz Club VIC in Port Melbourne. A great excuse to get together with some other clubs who share the same passions as us. Registrations are requested so we can get an idea of how many cars to expect. You can do so here.
