MONTH IN REVIEW
Dear Members
Happy New Year!
December was a very busy month. We started off with two events, with some of us heading down to Phillip Island for some much-needed track time. On the same day we were also invited to Mornington BMW for an exclusive pre-launch viewing of the soon to be launched M3 and M4. We also provided a fantastic display of M cars from our members' collections. It was fantastic to see over 50 members come for the 'quiet' launch, especially since none of our attendees knew what they were attending for!
____________________
Our next event was our final Zoom meeting for 2020, it was a casual meeting with a Christmas theme. Many wore their best, ugliest, Christmas jumper for a little bit of fun! It was a lots of fun to see all the different outfits members had put together!
____________________
On 13 December we held our last cruise event for the year, a drive and lunch to the Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie.
The weekend also saw a number of members opting to go trackside and have their last race for 2020 at the Shannons Motorsport Australia Festival at Sandown. It was great to see so many members either racing or helping in the pits for the last time this year. Like our 2020 Traction Tyres/Yokohama Drivers Championship, the E30 Racing Championship had been cancelled for the year, so this event was a non-championship race meeting for E30 Racing spec cars plus invited BMW race cars.

THE MONTH AHEAD
Here's what we've got planned in January:
Wednesday, 13 January
Mornington Peninsula Mid-Week Sunset Drive
We'll start our evening at Mornington BMW for a sausage sizzle and then head off on a drive along some of the Peninsula's finest driving roads, finishing at Arthurs Seat to watch the sunset from the lookout at Seawinds Garden.
Attend for one day, or stay for all three! We will be doing some drives, lunches, morning and afternoon teas, and of course dinner around the area to explore and visit other towns too.
Be sure to keep an eye on our calendar for more events.
