Vero International Festival of Motoring

Most of you will know that the Vero Festival of Historic Motoring will now be held in 2022.

The dates are Jan 16 to 21st 2022

The organising Committee has sent out to all VCC members by email a request for your expression of interest. . PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU RESPOND to this if you are considering going. Events like this have significant budgets to manage and some of you will recall the last International Rally suffered significant losses. Whatever your view on that result, learnings have been taken and you will have read in the latest Beaded Wheels that the Management Committee will NOT accept the event running at a loss. To that effect they are looking for some surety that entrant numbers will be sufficient to make the event viable. It will not be a firm commitment and I do urge you to respond. If there is insufficient interest, there is a possibility the event won’t go ahead. This is an event not to miss, a shorter period than previous International Rallies, in an area with some great motoring and the time of year hopefully means plenty of sunshine. So, get your mates together, decide what vehicle you’re taking and plan to be there.

Any parts advertised for sale from the Parts Shed are able to be inspected Wed mornings. Contact: Tris Winstanley P: 03 578 3343

From the Editor...

As mentioned at the AGM this issue is late as Mac and I attended the final (40th) Brass Monkey over Queens Birthday weekend and I have just returned home. I apologise to those who were not aware of this change and can assure you no-one missed their newsletter this month- its just 1 week later than usual.

At the AGM I was advised of some changes to the listing in the newsletter some I have done but I have missed a couple that were mentioned to me, sorry I had nothing to write these down and the memory isn’t what it used to be, IF your change has not been made can you call me and I can do this for the next issue?

And the Monkey, great fun, not cold - Mac was in shorts for the evening although he did appear to be only one of two that appeared to be silly enough to be doing so. Good ride there and back and great catching up with many old friends and enthusiast's. Cheers Chris
