We are trying something different for the 2016 General meetings and using the CAMS office.

Every second Wednesday, starting February.  7:30 start

The committee will try to arrange another workshop tour in  lieu of the November meeting.

More details in the newsletter.

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 General Committee

Hi Everyone,

Many thanks to all who have put their names down for this event, which commences on Anzac Day with practice, then continues over the weekend.

This event is one of the best events for the season, with categories such as Kerrick Sports Sedans,V8 Touring Cars, Porsche GT3’s, Formula Fords, and Super Six Touring Cars making up the programme. We encourage you to come out and enjoy the racing “up close”, and to gain further experience working with the lights based at each flag point.

We have been told that this will be a “lights only” event, which will be a first for most of us.

Numbers for Sunday in particular are a bit light, so we encourage/ask for a few more names to be added to the database.

The cut-off date for putting your name down has been extended until 23rd April, so if you haven’t done so yet, please add your name to the list before then.

Regards to all,

Adam Litchfield (Chief Flag)

Ray McGuiness (Assistant Chief Flag)

We have just been advised that the Feb 8th meeting is now a 1 day event, and no longer a twilight.

This means the scheduled finish should be 6PM’ish.

Will advise more as the information becomes available.

Cheers,

Darren
