New book – on the Mégane RS
Maxine Joly writes ‘I’ve just finished writing my book about the Megane RS and orders are
launched. I have written a text in case of some people from Australia
would be interested in buying it despite the text in French. If you can
share the information, that would be very nice !‘
June 2016 Social Day
The June Social Day is on the 19th and is a breakfast at Garazi Cafe in Yarraville followed by a visit to the B-24 Liberator bomber being restored at Werribee.
Garazi Cafe is a cafe in a garage with old cars scattered throughout. Pretty cool.
The B-24 Liberator is an iconic 2nd World War bomber. The one in Laverton is the only remaining Liberator in the Southern Hemisphere and is one of only eight still existent in the world. It is being restored in an impressive World War II hangar on the old Werribee airfield – just outside Melbourne in Victoria.
Meet at Garazzi Cafe at 9:30am – 107 Gamon Street, Yarraville

to sustain you . . .
At this stage, we have crepes, coffee, ice cream, and Rotary Club food services on the day.
There’s also the Tavern for ‘adult’ drinks and just a short walk away is the Williamstown seaside shopping precinct.
Gabriel Gaté
Gabriel Gaté will once again entertain us with his cooking, but is also planning what will be some challenging and amusing changes to more actively engage Club members.
Further details to follow…
Special Vehicles – Go Undercover
Clubs are invited to nominate up to 10 ‘special’ vehicles that will be given pride of place and be parked in the main Seaworks shed area, thereby gaining protection whatever the weather.
If you think your car is worthy, contact your club committee who have been asked to prepare a list.
May 2016 Drive Day
Classic Winton Races on May 29th
The Club is having a run to Winton for the Classic Winton race meeting on Sunday May 29th. There will be a couple of options depending upon when you want to travel. Some are leaving Saturday morning and travelling via Mansfield and Whitfield to Beechworth for the night (probably having lunch in Mansfield), going to Winton Sunday morning. Others will leave after lunch and also proceed to Beechworth meeting up with the first group. Some may prefer to drive direct to Winton on Sunday morning but this would require an early start.
If you would like to join us in Beechworth on Saturday night, you will need to make your own accommodation arrangements. We will find a restaurant and make a group booking once we know numbers.
The George Kerford Hotel in Beechworth has rooms available and also controls a couple of motels. Price is $110 per night. Their phone number is (03) 5728 2618.
We originally planned to stay in Wangaratta but little affordable accommodation is available.
The drive routes and timing will be finalised once we know how many want to be involved in each group.
Entry to Winton on Sunday is $35.00. The membership secretary has a couple of passes for classic cars only. First come first served.
So, if you are coming, please make your accommodation arrangements (if necessary) and let the membership secretary know by email () when you want to travel.
Guest Speaker – May 2016 General Meeting
We have Senior Leading Constable Craig Mc Kenzie from Vic Police Traffic Operations coming to speak to us at this month’s meeting in Glen Iris.
This is an opportunity to ask questions about any confusing road rules etc.
We are hoping Craig will cover:-
- Any new road rules
- Number plate recognition of full registered cars
- Highway patrol info
- Road safety of older cars
- Club plate system of club rego cars.
- And anything else that can be of benefit to our members.
New members and friends are also invited to come and get to know the committee and others
