Hi MR2 Owners
The club is still active but we require members to make it viable. Luckily the committee has members that are dedicated and passionate about keeping the club active such as organising cruise runs, trackdays with sponsors and other club and social activities like Chocolate Festivals, BBQs and the like.

If you've you been thinking about joining the club we have added some further incentives for you.
All new or renewing members who paid up as full members at the end of May 2012, will go in the draw to win one of 5 gift vouchers from Gorilla Industries.(1 X $200 voucher, 2 X $100 voucher and 2 X $50 vouchers)
The Draw will be held at June's committee meeting (first wednesday in June) and all are welcome to attend to witness the draw, but you dont have to be there to win (please notify us before hand so we can arrange an appropriate venue) We will advise the winners. The vouchers are valid for 12 months
On top of this, our sponsors Gorilla Industries have welcomed all members to a track day at wakefield on Tuesday May 29th. Not to mention the discounts the following sponsors have been able to give members from Gorilla Industries, Al Palmers, Team Motorkitz just to name a few.
So two great reasons to join the club in 2012 if you haven't already done so. Of course as you have seen there are other great events organised by the club. We are also planning a joint overnight event in October with the Queensland club in Coffs Harbour, we are still ironing out the details
If you are interested in joining please email the club a mr2nswsec@gmail.com and we can send you the application form.
Looking forward to seeing you during 2012.
Happy Motoring

October run with Queensland club from 29th Sept. to 1st Oct. at Coffs Harbour sounds good and I am hoping to get involved with this and combine it as part of my driving tour to the Gold and Sunshine coasts with the missus around that time.
Only problem is it that is in the middle of the NSW and Queensland school holidays which are both from 21st Sept. to 8th October so accomodation could be a problem unless it is booked early. I suppose the Queensland club is aware of this.

Hi Wiz
 
Yeah we have flagged this as an issue, we really need to get numbers in earlier.  They already have some accomodation in mind.
 
Let you know after a few more discussions with the Queensland club as its really their event.
 
Thanks

Hey Darius,
I have scanned and emailed my application in along with the payment confirmation number :)

Thanks MR2GTRacer, recieved the email but both the Secretary and the Assistance Secretary are on honeymoon at the moment. Should have a reciept and Membership card to you at the next event.

sounds good :)

Hi Wiz and others,
just to support Darius and the other Committee members we have already held a face to face meeting about the October meeting in Coffs Harbour (I was down in Sydney and Darius offered the chance to attend a Committee Meeting).
Originally it was going to be the Queen's Birthday in June but Coffs is being taken over then by a huge annual event that moves around to different centres on the north coast (we didn't think members would like to put brylcream in their hair and do line dancing in the street) so it was moved to October.
We do already have a good line on the accommodation at a great (read "reasonably cheap but excellent") motel who have offered to hold some places for us BUT (BIG BUT) as Darius said we need to get the numbers ASAP.
Look forward to catching up with you there.
Regards,
Walter

Yeah....unfortunately, although I would love to be involved this does not work for me as I was planning to incorporate this trip with a driving holiday to the NSW North coast and Queensland over 2 weeks and wanted to avoid school hols in both states so as to make accomodation along the way easier.
Anyway best wishes to all who go as I am sure it will be a great turnout.

If you can let me know when in October, i will be able to put some leave in attend :)
Should be good fun

Just an update: We have extended the draw until the end the june for July's Committee Meeting.
