ELL HERE IS the March magazine. Firstly, our Presentation Night is going to be held on the 9th April. Please come along and have a great night. The Club will be subsiding the meal portion of the night ($20.00) per person. Unfortunately, you will have to pay for your own drinks. We have a special Guest Speaker lined up for the night as well. I hear that the tales will be great entertainment.
Our first Club meeting will be held on the 11th March at the Manningham Club in Bulleen. Please come along and support the Club! It is also great to see that events are back up and running. I hope you all have a great time out there competing. - Vicki Curry, Secretary.

ANK BALANCE AS at 25/02 - $45372.72 Still in a reasonably strong position fiscally, no thanks to the present climate we are experiencing. As far as the SSS is going, have sent my instrument cluster to Howards Instruments to be tested repaired if required and have them rebuild the fuel sender unit. Also, have sent my fuel tank to Bundoora Radiators for possible repair and sealing. The clubs Audit report is attached to the mailout of this magazine so you can see how well we came through 2020/2021. A good foun-
dation for the upcoming 2021/2022 fiscal year. That is all from me, hope to see you at our first MGM coming up soon. - Gordon Ledwidge, Treasurer.

EY ALL! Sorry for the late magazine, been super hectic with work and play alike! Back on-board for the VCRS coverage again this year which is awesome. As usual, hit up issuu.com/nccainc/stacks for previous Nissan Link editions - Mason Peart, Editor.

I ALL,
The year is really flying past now! I managed to get the Z out for a run for the first time in around 2 1/2 years. The car was great, and Charlie and I got better as the rally went on.
At the time of writing this we have 327 members in the club. We would like to run some small cruises for the Club Permit Cars, so keep a eye on your email and Facebook for that info. - Aiden Peart, Membership / CH Plate Officer.

I GUYS! Hopefully you are all well and have started dreaming of your competition plans for the remainder of the year. I haven’t taken the pulsar off the trailer yet - technically speaking it is ready to race. The next 2 events of our championship are both khanacrosses, they could be a good shakedown for your rally toys and have less navigation than a Motorkhana, you should along and have some fun!
The dates are March 20 down at Avalon and April 9 at Werribee (this is our round so make sure you get your leave pass in early!)
Also please see attached last years results. The slate is now clear and the trophy could be yours. - Lucas Thorpe, Motorkhana.

I ALL! The first rally for 2022 has been run and won.
The 42nd anniversary George Woods had an excellent turn out with 50 entries. The rain held off prior and on the day of the event so roads were superb. With over 100kms competitive kilometres some cars didn’t hold up as well as others with only 30 of the 50 cars finishing. Some of the usual NCCA names and some new/old out there. Well done to Aiden Peart and Stuart Armstrong on 3rd outright 1st Nissan. Next event (was) the Mitta Mitta held on the 5th of March (which has already been run at time of publication, wait until the April edition for the rundown on that!) - Russell Seabrook, Rally.
