President's Message

Alfisti,

Club Night this month is on Wednesday 8th October at the Veneto Club in Bulleen. Guest speakers will be discussing Spettacolo (to be held over the weekend of 15th & 16th November). The session will include the individual arrangements for: Spettacolo Concorso (note that Concorso has been streamlined this year, but registrations are still required by 7th November); the Spettacolo Dinner on Saturday 15th, again at the Village Green Hotel in Mulgrave (tickets @ $60 pp are available now!); and the Spettacolo Show & Shine to be held on Sunday 16th at Wesley College in Glen Waverley.
As ever, we are looking forward to a big turnout of local & interstate members with their Alfas.

The Alfa Club 10 Hour Relay, a regularity trial at Winton, is to be held next weekend (4th & 5th October). This is AROCA's 20th anniversary of the running of this event! We are hoping that many of our Club members will attend to cheer the competition Team on.

Then the next big annual Club event is the AROCA Kids' Xmas Party & BBQ at Bundoora Park Farm on Saturday 30th November. See details below but note that registration is required by 7th November!

Clyde Hay recently ran a very successful Cuore Sportivo Grand Final Tour over the long weekend in late September. Read Clyde's report below.

This year's Competition events have been well attended with members volunteering for training and assisting to make these events a continual success. The parade laps are always popular with a strong attendance with a range of classic, modern and new Alfas together in a controlled environment.

We currently have a vacancy as GTA Register Captain. Contact me if interested.

 

We are constantly seeking assistance with running events – Club Sprints, Tours, Sunday Drives or Club Displays or the planning or management of any of our other Club events. If you are able to assist in any of these areas, your participation will be appreciated. Please contact me if you would like to discuss an opportunity to assist the Club?

Stay safe & well,
John Hanslow
