Hi everybody & welcome to the Victorian Report
Firstly I would like to wish everyone a happy, safe and prosperous New Year. I hope everyone had a great Christmas. We had a great turn out to our Christmas Lunch at Lagos in December; a warm sunny day was enjoyed by all. For myself, I was lucky enough to enjoy a round of golf on the morning at Albert Park, right next door. It's always been a desire of mine to throw the clubs in the back of the convertible on a sunny morning and go play. Kinda reminds me of what it would have been like in Palm Springs in the 60's. Thanks to Lucinda and Ross for the organisation. It was great to meet Peter and Lynda Ninnis who made the trip down from Swan Hill for the day in their fantastic white 56 along with the other new members that came along on the day. It's always good to meet new Members
The new club permit scheme is going along nicely with our club having made our submission to Vicroads in support of the new voucher scheme. We should see some results and perhaps even implementation this year. Preparations are well and truly underway for the 2nd annual American Classics show, hosted by TOCA and Bridge Builders.
The State Titles will be held in Marysville this year, supporting a rural community that was savaged by the Black Saturday bushfires. The Vic Branch has a history of holding events in Marysville and now is a great time to reacquaint ourselves with the township. This promises to be a great weekend and I would urge all Vic Members to get on board for this one. Discussions and ideas are being tossed around for the National Concourse to be hosted by the Vic Branch later in the year. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions are always welcome from everybody.
Cheers, Steve Gasson
