Club Torque - President’s Column

President’s Report March 2023

With the start to 2023 now well and truly in the rear vision mirror, Register activity has certainly gained pace with March and April full of events.

By the time you are reading this, registration for the National Rally, to be held in Hahndorf, will have closed. However, you have an opportunity to attend the Sunday display day at the National Motor Museum in Birdwood, as no registration is required and entry to the Museum is free.

You may also be interested in “Speed of the Street” outing to be held at the Bend Motor Sport Complex. Registration for this event is via the link in the National Rally registration page on the JDCSA web page. This is a private event with registration via the JDCSA only.

There is plenty of activities to be involved with in March starting with All British Day (ABD) on the first Sunday, March 5th. ABD has been well supported jointly by our car club and the JCCC with over 90 vehicle registrations. We are located on the main oval one row in from the food vans. It is hoped by moving this event into March we should experience more pleasant weather. Notwithstanding, as I write it is a 40+ day.

This year the feature vehicle manufacturers are those originating for Coventry City area. Makers such as Triumph, Standard and Rover, plus many others, evolved into other items such as Singer sewing machines, bicycles and motorbikes, etc. In addition to the Coventry City Display another significant milestone celebration is 75 Years of the BSA Bantam.

ABD is looking to achieve the world record number of Bantam motorcycles.

Register Secretaries are reminded to forward budgetary requests for the upcoming financial year to the Treasurer. Members if you happen to be considering a possible Register function/outing that will involve expenditure please discuss with your Register Secretary. Associated costing can then be put forward for consideration in the forward club expenditure estimates; please no ambit claims. Such proposals must be supported by substance.

Don’t forget the National Rally in April. If you are unable to be part of this great social activity please try and make it along to the display day at the National Motor Museum on Sunday16 April and don’t forget the day at the Bend Motor Sport Complex on the Monday.

Hoping to see you at club events through-out the year

April General Meeting Relocated to Marion Hotel

The JDCSA April General Meeting to be held on the 4th of April, has had to be relocated due to a long-standing booking at the Junction Bistro.

This is unfortunate, but thanks to VicePresident Michael Pringle, as a oneoff alternative, we have managed to book a suitable venue at the MARION HOTEL 849 Marion Road, Mitchell

Park. Note: this is a one-off relocation just for April.

The MARCH General meeting will be held as normal at ‘The Junction”, 470 Anzac Highway, Camden Park. Executive Committee
