Vale – Lui Mori

It is with great sadness that we learn of the passing of our very own Lui Mori. His cheeky smile, the twinkle in his eyes and his gentle manner will be missed by us all. Lui mentored many of our officials, imparting his knowledge and guiding us forward. Our lives are all the better for knowing him.

When funeral arrangements are known, we will email them out.  Chaplain Dave Vaughan is available for a chat if you feel the need to speak to someone.  He can be contacted on 0418 803 239 or email davnar@adam.com.au

Our thoughts and prayers go out to David Mori and his family.

RIP Lui. xx

SAMROA / Adelaide Superkart Club / Track Time Motorsport – Interclub Social Challenge

The next interclub social challenge is a bowling night at AMF Woodville Bowl on Thursday 16th October.

Apart from the right to fight it out over the coveted trophy, it is also a great opportunity to get to know each other a little better away from the frantic pace of a Mallala.

The centre will open up 4 lanes for us with 6 people per lane. This will allow us 8 players per club to fight it out over the coveted trophy!! We will devise a fair format for the night to ensure an interesting challenge to the end – more to come.

Meet at 7pm for a 7.30pm start.

AMF Woodville, 819 Port Rd, Woodville

Cost is $25 per player which includes 2 games, shoe hire and finger food. (I will ask the committee to subsidize this). Drinks to be paid separately – Bar will be open.

Following the games, the centre will open up the café area for us to all get together, mingle, share a few drinks/stories and present the trophy!

Please contact me if you are up for the challenge before Thursday (2nd Oct) as I need to let ASC know the names & numbers by end of the week.

Cheers,
Darren
