MONTH IN REVIEW
July was a quiet month with some fun events.
Our members meeting was held at SEA Electric Trucks. This relatively new company kindly opened their doors to show us what they believe to be the way forward for the trucking and transport industry. We were greeted with a massive spread of food, tea and coffee in an amazing facility.
We then held our very popular Christmas in July event. We started out with a breakfast meeting at HQ Steakhouse in Pakenham, where we braved a chilly early morning start to have a delicious breakfast, before heading off on another of Peter Williams’ wonderful cruises, to then find us arrive at The Outpost in Noojee for Christmas (in July) lunch.
Our third and final event for the month was held at Winton - our fifth round of the Yokohama/Traction Tyres Drivers' Championship. This round we were joined by our NSW counterparts, in what we now call the BMW Clubs Cross Border Cup. Unfortunately for us, BMWDC NSW took home the trophy this year.

Snow Train Experience

- Tuesday, 6 August
August Members Meeting
Waverley BMW
Our August Members Meeting will be held at Waverley BMW where we'll be taken for a comprehensive walk through their paint shop with a demonstration on how they do their 30 minute dent repair and wheel repairs.
- Sunday, 25 August
German Auto Day
Deaf Children Australia, St Kilda
The German Auto Day brings together the best German cars of Melbourne in one place with some of the quirky, and now defunct brands being included.
It is not a concours, or even a show and shine, so any clean car is very welcome. Anything 1990 or older - the more the merrier!
