Saturday 5th July 7.00pm for 7.30pm start Macquarie and ISC Rooms. Dress: Black tie RSVP by Friday 27th June Please contact Rebecca to make a booking on T: 8273 2320 or E: weddings@raca.com.au APRIL RUN (Now Sunday 4th May) The RACA MEGs Steering Committee have decided that we should reschedule the April Run from Sunday 6 April to Sunday 4 May. There are several reasons for this change. One was that a number of regular attendees were engaged in other motoring activities on 6 April. A more important reason was that by moving to 4 May we will be able to base this run on a visit to the Sydney Retro Speedfest at Sydney Motorsport Park (previously known as Eastern Creek). The 4 May run will commence with breakfast at the RACA. This will consist of a run to the Sydney Motor Sport Park (previously known as Eastern Creek) where we will be visiting The Sydney Retro Speedfest. We will meet at The club for breakfast in the traditional way and then proceed to Sydney Motor Sport Park Ferrers Rd, Eastern Creek. Further information will be available on our Facebook page. Web site address relating to this event is www.hsrca.com/ tag/sydney-retro-speedfest/ MAY MEETING (Now Wednesday 14th May) On 14th May we will be having our bi-monthly meeting at the club house. Meeting in the member's bar at around 6.00 p.m. then adjourning to the garage at around 7.30 p.m. with our Guest Speaker (to be confirmed) to take the floor at approx. 8.00 p.m..
