President’s Report – February 2019
President’s Report Feb 2019
Firstly, my apologies for the late report. I have been off line for a few weeks sorting out behind the scenes issues and work commitments.
Thankfully, we have a dedicated team prompting me along so while I’m recovering from a day at the track with 90,000 other petrol heads thought I should put my mind to the February report.
All British day was a great day with lots of help getting all the cars into position. Thanks once again to all involved. We had almost a full field of the nominated 58 Triumphs on display. The club now has another two new members signing up and lots of interest from the public.
The future:
All out GREEN for St Patrick’s Day on the 17th March. Meet at Pavilion Car Park corner Glynburn and Greenhill road (Formally the “Feathers hotel”) at 11am for a run to “The Greenman Inn” (Appropriate pub for the day.) We may even be able to get our treasurer to consider a prize for the best effort on the day. Why not!!
I have also been asked to mention the Entertainment books will be up for sale again in April. See the flyer. It helps with our clubs fund raising so get a book or the app and start enjoying the savings.
This year’s Weekender is on again. Bill and Margie have spent a lot of time again for us, going over locations things to do, the best places to eat and generally having a weekend for the club to enjoy. This is always a great event but unfortunately, I will miss it this year so I’ll look forward to reading all about it when I return from O/S. see the flyer this month.
Another significant event at Mallala on the 6th May for our team racing drivers (other than the normal fast weekends) is the 6 hour for the Peter Hall Memorial Trophy. This is a great day and again I’m unfortunately going to miss this one also so have a think about helping out waving a flag or 2 or just come and support the drivers and crew on the day.
From the Web:
A great day for the TSOA – not only do we need drivers and cars to compete on the track, we also need a band of willing helpers in the pits, on the pit wall doing timing, sash changeovers, catering etc. A true TSOA Team effort. Contact Roger Lange if you would like to be involved.
After May we will be looking to support our drivers again but this time at the Bend on the 16th June. We are looking to make the day our monthly run so stay tuned for that one.
The Display day for us is now locked in and paid for, so mark your calendars for the 17th November Civic Park Modbury. This is in between the 2 racing weekends in the month so a busy time ahead.
We have also been working on possibly moving to a new place for the annual Presentation day / Xmas dinner and look forward to testing out one or two places with the committee to see if a change of venue will encourage more to come along and close out the year together. The final date is yet to be locked in.
And lastly for now, but certainly more to come, the WA Nationals are also fast on the approach with several of the SA crowd making plans and you may have seen a mail out from Duane with the Eastern state planning their drive. Check out the WA web site for more details.
Regards for now, Ian Rigby
President.
