MONTH IN REVIEW
May has already come and gone and we're almost half way through the year!
We kicked off May with our third round of the 2019 Traction Tyres/Yokohama Drivers' Championship. Rod Martin had a fantastic time for his first time in an E30 race car, while his own is being built "...it was a invaluable experience to try one out for the first time and I was not disappointed. If you are sick of speed cameras and nanny state road rules I recommend giving it a go."
Unfortunately we had to change our May Members Meeting with Mothers Car Care at late notice due to a cancellation. Instead we held a general members meeting where Graeme Bell gave a presentation on the BMW Clubs Australia AGM he recently attended.
On the Saturday before Mother's Day, we invited all our members to bring along their mothers for our pre-mother's day drive. We began our day at McDonalds Whittelsea and finished at Yea with a number of stops in between. Despite the drizzly weather, it was a fun Saturday outing.
We then finished our month with a bit of fun at Auskarts Racing. There was a lot of very competitive racing and the margins from first to last were very close! We can't wait to see what happens at our outdoor karting day later in the year.
MEMBERSHIP UPDATE: 392 MEMBERS
Welcome to all our new members, we look forward to seeing you at an upcoming event!
Don't forget to catch up with this month's update from our President, Graeme Bell here.
MEMBER NOTICE:
Regretfully we must announce that due to low entries for our Sandown Come and Try Day, we have had to cancel the event.
We have been promoting this event widely, but unfortunately, we have had very little interest. It saddens us to have to cancel the event as it is one that we felt would benefit a lot of members.
If you have already registered, we will be sending you an individual email to notify you of refunds or entry transfer options.
Many apologies.
