at Historic Rob Roy and this is to be a
picnic day where we hope the scheduling
and catering will encourage people to
spend a little longer there and enjoy the
facility. Ian Prior has been honing his
run planning skills with the recent MGA
Register’s Autumn Tour and will put these
to good use in his management of the
Observation Run. The non-competitive
Kimber Run is in the care of Graeme and
Jennie Jackson whose talents, developed
over the planning of many Pre War MG
rally events, will ensure that this is a
memorable day’s outing.
Maree Rowley is overseeing the Social
calendar and the catering and has this
well in hand. The Presentation Dinner
is to be held at the Yarra Valley Racing
Centre where we will have a display of
cars floodlit under the panorama windows
looking East towards the Dandenongs.
All event managers are aware of the
wish for as many of our members as
possible to be able to enter and compete
and are planning their activities to ensure
that there is sufficient backup for this to
be achieved. We do not want members
to feel that if they would like to help then
they will not be able to compete. We are
also committed to looking after the many
members who will be acting as officials
and marshals etc, and will be running
a thank you function for all of them
sometime following the meeting.

That’s the nuts and bolts. Behind
the scenes we have Wayne Hunter on
Registration, Peter Shattock counting
the beans, Lyn Martin ensuring we are
all appropriately attired, Louise Grills as
Secretary looking after the ‘bumph’, and
Graeme and Vera Ridgway helping our
visitors get roofs over their heads. Stewart
Baker will be wrangling sponsorship from
all and sundry and Don Woods is doing
the regulations to ensure all is above
board. No need to mention I am sure,
but just in case you had not guessed,
Mike and Kay Herlihy will by handling
the IT with Ric Collett on scoring and
timing, and Paul Slawinski will look after
Officials and audio visual. Ian Mckenzie
will be chief shutterbug, David Parrott
boss scrutineer, Josie Eeles will handle
the poster and other design and Bob
Somerville will produce the program.
Linda Hayhow as OHS will try to keep us
all safe. And there are many more.
That is a very brief summary of where
we are at and where we are going. There
is an organization chart on our website
which fleshes the team out in detail.
Many have been called and many more
will be needed progressively as Easter
2015 draws nearer. We hope that you will
all be involved one way or another, either
competing, helping or both.
