Hello to all,
I was pleased to welcome 37 people to our last Wed meeting. Our guest speaker, Darren from Peninsula Sports Cars, Brookvale was an added attraction and several members expressed their appreciation for the text reminder that inspired them to attend. I fully understand that some members cannot change their routines from Tues to Wed nights. I am one who is committed to sailing on Wed afternoons and it is a bit of a stretch to also come to Wed PMEA meetings in the evening but I will adapt to make it happen. Also others like to participate in the Wed runs and cannot make two PMEA events in the same day. However we have to make the most of it for the foreseeable future. The RMYC is experiencing difficulty with staffing in this covid era but we are currently negotiating a return to après meeting supper with bar open. Details to come.
Reminder for Wakefield Park Race Day auction and Unique Vehicle display on 15 May. Please get bids and entries in early. VP David has published some changes to events so pls consult the website.
Members who own cars with spline drive wire wheels will be pleased to know that they can be balanced at Avalon Tyres, 68 Darley St., Mona Vale for $20 each and wheels aligned for $80. Phone 9979 6093. I could not find this service elsewhere locally.
Member Steve Waugh alerted us to a scheme to assist Ukraine refugees coming to Aust. On Friday April 1st at Apex park opposite Mona Vale Surf Club at 8.30am there is a free bbq where people can donate basic but new clothing items such as pyjamas, socks, underwear. See attachment below. PMEA has always been generous and we suggest you can get items from local shops quite cheaply, keep in their wrapping and bring them to the bbq. This is a great cause to assist people displaced by war through no fault of their own – make it a club social morning.
Happy motoring
Kerry
