The President's Report

May, 2008

Welcome to the Volkswagen Club of Victoria's May edition of the Presidents Report.

In last months report I said that the club general meetings would continue to be at the RACV Club. Unfortunately although this is what we believed at the time, it now appears to have been premature. The committee has been in on-going discussions with the management of the RACV Club since November last year regarding the use of a new meeting room that was completed last month as part of their extensive building renovations. It had been the committee's understanding that our third Tuesday of the month general meetings would be accommodated in this new room and that this would put an end to our nomadic wanderings since the closure of the Henty Room at the RACV Club around the middle of last year.

VW Concourse 08 We found out last week, much to our dismay this new room is now almost fully booked and we will not be able to secure our regular meeting nights throughout the year. In the circumstances the committee is now giving priority to the evaluation of a number of non-RACV Club venue options that will secure future general meeting arrangements, hopefully to take effect from the July 2008 meeting. We see it as essential to re-establish a regular and consistent meeting venue, in a suitable environment and apologise to club members if the recent varying meeting arrangements and venues have caused any difficulties. If in doubt of the location for a meeting please ring me or one of the other committee members for confirmation. I would like to personally thank John Stevens for the time and effort he has put in trying to resolve this issue.

Don't forget the Concourse this month, even if you don't intend to show your car, just come for the day. If you are new to the club come and introduce yourselves and we promise to make you feel welcome. That's all for now, I will keep you posted on the progress of finding a permanent home for club meetings.
