I have been recieving reports that many people have been made aware of thsi function, so I am hoping for a good crowd.
Lindsay Urquart has organised the speakers who will speak about their experience. |

It would seem we have about 60 people coming at the moment.
I bit of notice would help with the catering?
Do we get one barrel or two for the beer, a dozen pies or a hundred? |

| If anybody can bring a TV I have a DVD from the 60's in Europe I think that is interesting with plenty of sidecar vision. |

I must announce publicly that Max Hooper has voluteered to test the beer to ensure it is ok for consumption.
We wanted to ensure no stale or off beer was presented. Max in the opinion of the organising committee deserves a special mention for his task. John Feakes has suggested "I'm proud of Max, not too many would volunteer for such an arduous task. He should be mentioned in dispatches!"
We are budgetting about $500 for nibbles so please front because its a lot for us to eat before going home!
I am guesing about 75 now.

Modesty almost prevents me from saying that the SCTG, was FANTASTIC.
^0 people attended, the earliset racer started in 1949 and the newest last weekend.
Listening to the buzz all night I think there was a lot of catching up. About 12 people got up and shared their stories, and I shall write more about that later when I get home again.
A small profit was made, the barman was swept off his feet and there were plenty of partners to share the experience.
Thanks to those who shared the dream.
It was voted to hold one each year. |

Mmm the more I hear the more I wish I could have got there but unfortunately it was just too soon after Winton to make the trip back to Vic.
Ahhh well, can't do everything I suppose.
Cheers

| We will run another hopefully one week after the Queens birthday weekend, but if we can get a date when few are racing we will try that. |

Geoff why not run a similair evening in South Australia.
We are lucky here because we have the Veteran Racers Assoc of Victoria that many people are members of.
Do you have such a network of oldies?
Otherwise I am happy to pass on ideas if you want.
I planned this 6 months in advance and promoted it through other clubs, in programs at race meetings and a small not on thsi site.
It was delibertely low key so the talking and chat would take over as it did. |
