MONTH IN REVIEW
June is over and we're at the halfway mark of 2019. Winter is in full swing and we're already dreaming of the warmer Spring days on the horizon (well, almost).
Our first event in June was our June Members Meeting hosted by South Yarra BMW. It was great to see some new faces and also hear from Chris Sager about the 2019 Geelong Revival.
We were then invited to a special BMW Australia presentation where we met Calvin Luk, the exterior designer of the X1, X3 and the new Z4. Those who attended had a fantastic day learning about how Calvin got to where he is now and the design process.
We then went on a weekend away over Queen's Birthday Weekend with Club MINI, starting at Essendon BMW on Saturday morning and finishing at Dunkeld on Monday. It was really fantastic to see all the different silo artwork, it's really amazing how they do it!
Next, we went to Broadford for Round 4 of the Traction Tyres/Yokohama Drivers' Championship. This was the first time we have hired a track in our own right, and it was a great success. We had lots of members attend to help, as well as all those that came to drive. Our day was matched with perfect weather, meaning perfect driving conditions.
We then finished our month with St Johns First Aid Training where we had a full day of learning about CPR, Emergency Life Support and General First Aid. We look forward to running more of these in the future!
