President's Report (May 2004)

The financial year is upon us again, where has the time gone. We have had a very busy start to the year, and the rest will be just as full, with runs such as the Wintersun, Jetboats, Rainbow Beach, Xmas in July, Muscle Car Show – Parklands, Gliding at Jondaryan, Maroon Dam Lunch, and 15th QCC Birthday Party and our Indy Vette Fest; just to name a few of the exciting things coming up. So keep an eye on the upcoming events and hope to see you there.

February we voted on changing our financial year to the 30th June. In accordance with the Associations Incorporation Act 1981 the amendment of the rules passed on 14 February 2004 has been registered. The Club’s end of financial year date is now 30th June; this will enable our Audit to be ready before an earlier AGM date which will be advised.

Due to rising costs we have had to raise the Membership to $55.00 for 2004-2005. Renewal and $5.00 worth of Raffle tickets are included with your Vetteletter and prompt payment would be appreciated.

Our last meeting there were discussions for a new venue for our club meetings, as Easts have increased our room hire to $100.00, several venues were suggested and upon checking these out the committee has decided that the Southern Cross Sports Club, corner of Klumpp & Logan Rds Upper Mt Gravatt is the most suitable. We are looking at this venue for our July Meeting. Discussions will be held at the June Meeting to get members views on this matter.

I would like to thank Tony Walker for taking over and collating all our Indy Parade Photos plus his backwards and forwards correspondence with Bob Wallace from Vette Magazine in the States. We now have everything ready to send over and can’t wait to see a great spread of our event in his magazine.

We are selling copies of the CD which has over 500 photos for $10.00 each, let Sandy know if you would like a copy so we can get them organised, also we have Limited Edition 15th Anniversary Black Polo Shirts & Ladies ¾ Sleeve Black Polo’s (by order only)

PLACE ORDERS NOW OR YOU WILL MISS OUT.

Till next month,
Drive your Dream
