VCC Heart Defibrillator AED Mobile App There have been suggestions that the recently purchased Heart Defibrillator should be listed in the mobile phone AED app. However this Defibrillator is only accessible when the Club rooms are open and then it may have been taken along on a Club rally run hence is not available 24/7 for Public use. To have it included in the AED app would only cause delay & confusion if a member of the Public tried to access it. According to the App, a Defibrillator is available at the Marlborough Museum 24/7.
TARGA HAWKES BAY UPDATE Hi Everyone - A quick update re this year's events. 1. Targa Hawkes Bay (Fri 17th - Sun 19th May)-: The few Time Trial entries we had have now all transferred to the main time trial event in October, so the Time Trial component of Targa Hawkes Bay has been cancelled. The good news however is that the 3 local VCC branches associated with the Targa Hawkes Bay route (Rotorua, Hawkes Bay & Central Hawkes Bay) have all confirmed interest in assisting with car display & other activities during Targa Hawkes Bay. This offer is very much appreciated & I've forwarded contact details for each branch to Raewyn Anderson from Targa NZ for direct communication. VCC branch car displays at Targa venues will also be a great opportunity to raise public awareness of VCC & hopefully attract some new & younger members, as we did in the South Island last year. 2. Targa NZ Central/Lower North Island (Tues 29th Oct - Sun 2 Nov with scrutineering/documentation Mon 28th Oct)-: The Time Trial component for this event is definitely all go with several entrants having taken advantage of the "Super Early Bird Discount" (which was available until the end of February). VCC members with VCC eligible cars are still entitled to a 30% discount on the "Standard" entry fee however. (This special discount for VCC members is not advertised on the Targa website, so be sure to note your on-line "Application to Compete" as "VCC Time Trial"). Refer www.targa.nz "2019 Events/Event Regulations/2019 Targa Time Trial Terms & Conditions". A further discount of $200 + GST is available for South Island Time Trial entrants to assist with transport expenses & Mates Rates & Family Rates discounts may also be available. Refer www.targa.nz 2019 "Events/Event Pricing" for further details. 16
