President’s Message
Alfisti,
We are well into the year now with Alfesta 2022 and Easter behind us, there are still many significant club events ahead.
I am pleased to advise a full and exciting range of Club Competition, Social and Register events are on the calendar for mid-year while some key events are also in planning for the latter part of the year.
Club Night this month is on Wednesday 11th May. It will be a brief affair with the AGM being the focus on the night which will include the presentation of Annual Reports and the election of a new Committee. While formal nominations for Committee have closed, we look forward to receiving nominations for several vacant committee positions on the night. If you would like to assist with the running of the Club, please be prepared to nominate for one of the vacant positions. And if you are unable to attend the meeting, please consider submitting a Proxy vote.
Links to the Nomination and Proxy voting forms are below.
On Sunday 15th May is the celebration of National Motoring Heritage Day offering a wide choice of events: Auto Classico in Canterbury and the Goldfields Chapter Run to Lethbridge.
Planning has commenced on the Alfa Club 12 Hour Regularity Relay at Winton on October 1st & 2nd
Planning for Spettacolo on November 27 is also proceeding. Spettacolo will again include both Concorso and the Show’n’Shine events. While the venue is still to be confirmed, we are looking forward to a good turnout of members from throughout Victoria and interstate for this year’s event.
In 2023, it is AROCA Queensland’s turn to host ALFESTA, AROCA’s national annual meeting of Alfisti. Alfesta 2023 will be held over the Easter long-weekend, Thursday 6th to Monday 10th April, in Toowoomba, approximately 130 kilometres west of Brisbane. Accommodation is at the Burke and Wills Hotel in Toowoomba.
The Club’s Committee looks forward to presenting some great activities this year.
As many people return to office based work, there is still a need to consider our approach to health and safety in this ‘post vax’ environment. Various businesses are still suffering from staff shortages due to Covid-19. So common sense still prevails and we will continue to run our Club activities in a safe and compliant manner.
