2-6th April 2010<br />
It is now 4 months until the National Meeting. Adelaide is quite a distance from<br />
<strong>Newcastle</strong> but with the potential of laps at Mallala it could be an adventure.<br />
It is important that we have people there to promote our 2011 event. With only a<br />
few members making the trip it is not too late to register. I’ll have to hand back<br />
some of the motel rooms in the new year if there aren’t any more takers. The<br />
theme for next year is Pirates. This should be a lot of fun.<br />
The 5 cars (& families) getting ready to represent the club are John & Rose<br />
Collins (<strong>MG</strong>F), Andy & Shirley Peters (<strong>MG</strong>B), David & Lesley Walker & James<br />
Pearson (<strong>MG</strong>ZS), Dale Powell (Midget) and myself (<strong>MG</strong>ZR). Once again the call<br />
of Bathurst is strong and Darren will be heading that way with the Trophy F.<br />
While a lot of information on the Nat Meet will be able to be downloaded and is<br />
available on the internet, registration will not be on line. It should be open soon.<br />
Thanks to Lyall Clarke & Darren for representing our club at the recent Delegates<br />
meetings.There was a commitment by those present to the continuation of<br />
National Meetings on an annual basis. Hosts for future National Meetings are<br />
2010 SA, 2011 <strong>Newcastle</strong>, 2012 Hobart, 2013 Queensland, 2014 Canberra.<br />
Existing class structure will now combine like models into super groups to be split<br />
again as more cars in each of the subgroups enter. e.g. <strong>MG</strong>Bs as the super group<br />
to be split into Class J, K, L , M, N etc as 6 of each sub group enter.<br />
Next year SA club intends running only 3 classes in the Observation Run. Tiebreaker<br />
events may become more important – the more cars you get in the class.<br />
Trophies will be based on the number of cars at the Concours with 6 being<br />
required for a ‘full class”, 2 cars up count towards the individual perpetual<br />
awards. Certificates will be used for minor class placings.<br />
We still need people to be involved in the registration process for 2011– a very<br />
important part of the organising team. Contact David Walker or myself if you are<br />
interested. Meeting dates for next year will be published on web site very soon.<br />
Attend a National Meeting I’ll guarantee that you’ll return again and again.<br />
Cheers<br />
