MONTH IN REVIEW
Dear Members
And so the countdown to Christmas begins, welcome to December! Before we get too excited about Christmas (or is that just this editor?) let's recap our November.
We began our month still in lockdown, with our first event a virtual trivia night. Our members enjoyed some general knowledge questions and some funny questions about our committee members. Prizes were given to the top 3! Congratulations to you all.

By mid-month we had finally received the OK to get back out and about with our members. On 14 November we hosted a "Welcome Back Cars & Coffee" at Albert Park. It was so good to see so many members and also be joined by the Audi Club.

On 15 November we were then invited to AROCA's sprint day at Winton. A large group of members made the trip to Winton for some much-needed fun on track. Thank you to the Alfa Club for inviting us to come along, we look forward to sharing more events with you in 2021!

On 22 November we enjoyed our first drive event our of lockdown. We began our trip in Templestowe, stopping at Yan Yean for a picnic and morning tea before taking some fun driving roads to Yarra Glen and finishing up at Warrandyte. It was fantastic to welcome some new members to their first event.

On 26 November we held our first mid-week Twilight Drive in Geelong. Keep an eye out for these events because we plan to do more over summer, with our next one being on the Mornington Peninsula (keep an eye on your emails for the invite!).

We finished November with our Annual Show & Shine at the Park Hyatt, Melbourne. There was rain on and off over the day, but thankfully no one was deterred from attending. We even had some members join us from BMW Drivers Club NSW.
Graeme and Jo also had a 430i Coupe for the weekend from Melbourne BMW, which was definitely a fan favourite over the weekend! Many other people at the Park Hyatt over the weekend stopped by to check it out! Thanks very much to Melbourne BMW for lending it to us!
