Please let the Committee know if you have a suggestion for a Dinner or a Club Run.
It would be great to have new cruise captains & dinner organisers. This way you can help us keep the club social calendar alive & you get to share your favourite places with friends.

December
Saturday 21st December - AJ & Julie's final Xmas BBQ after 20 years.
As per tradition, please bring a salad OR desert.
Tuesday 24th December - Merry Christmas to all.
It was the night before Christmas and out in the garage,
There wasn't a trace of a Holden, Toyota, or Ford.
The presents were wrapped and the lights were all lit,
So I figured I'd mess with my Corvette for a bit.
I popped the release and lifted the hood,
When a deep voice behind me said looks pretty good.
Well, as you can imagine, I turned mighty quick,
And there, by the workbench, stood good ol Saint Nick!
We stood there a bit, not too sure what to say,
Then he said don't suppose that you'd trade for my sleigh?
No way, Santa I said with a grin,
But if you've got the time we can go for a spin!
His round little mouth, all tied up like a bow,
Turned into a smile and he said Sure! Let's go!!
So as not to disturb all the neighbors at retreat,
We quietly pushed the Vette out to the street,
Then, taking our places to coast down the hill,
I turned on the key and I let the clutch spill.
The sound that erupted took him quite by surprise,
But he liked it a lot, by the look in his eyes.
With tires screaming and side pipes aglow,
We headed on out to where the hot rodders go.
And Santa's grin widened, approaching his ears,
With every shift up as I banged through the gears.
Then he yelled can't recall when I've felt so alive!
So I backed off the gas and asked Santa if he wanted to drive.
Santa was stunned when I gave him the keys,
When he walked past the headlights he shook at the knees!
The Corvette exploded with side exhaust sound!
And when Santa let out the clutch and the tires shook the ground!
Power shift into second, again into third!
I sat there just watching, at loss for a word,
Then I heard him exclaim as we blasted from sight,
Merry Christmas to all, it's one hell of a night!!!

Would you like to organise a run?
Club Cruise Guide
- Cruise Preparation.
- The person organising a club run should contact the Events coordinator to liaise re the run date.
- Once basic details of the run are established the run can be placed in the club calendar and advertised on the FB group and by club email.
- Anyone new at organising an event can get advice from the Events Coordinator (or any Committee member).
- Cruise organizing.
Important considerations for a cruise can be.
- Organising a starting point – easy access, easy to find, sufficient parking, access to coffee, toilets.
- Deciding on a route – map it out and be sure of timings from point to point.
- Booking the lunch stop/morning tea – is the venue used to having 20 -30 people arrive. Does it have suitable parking.
- Test drive the route to ensure timings (plus fudge factor) before preparing map or instructions.
- Running the cruise.
- Arrive at the meeting point early.
- Have possession of the Club cruise ‘grab & go bag’ and begin passing around the Run sheet to ensure that everyone on the run has their details on that sheet. This is a club/legal requirement.
- Begin the drivers briefing at the nominated time and hand out information sheets/maps.
- Make sure everyone knows the destination point – just in case.
- Hand out CB radios from the grab & go bag and ensure that the non Corvette at the rear has a radio. They will be the designated emergency stop vehicle (tail end Charlie).
If the cruise captain isn’t confident leading (or doesn’t know the area) its ok to get someone else to take the role.
Refrain from stopping the group on the side of main roads with higher speed limits, if a ‘re-jig’ is required wait for a township/ safe parking area to stop the group. If a break down/sudden stop occurs let the nominated tail end Charlie/s stop with the affected car. It is potentially hazardous to have a large group of cars stopping/ taking off on the side of a main road.
If a collision occurs involving a club member, refer to the paperwork in the folder in the grab & go bag.
When the cruise Captain is setting the pace, keep in mind constant speed and adhering to road rules.
- Cruise participants.
- Arrive on time. If running late ring/message the cruise captain.
- Have enough fuel to complete the run – don’t arrive asking where the nearest petrol station is.
- Fill out the run sheet.
The cruise captain will set the pace, just go with the flow.
Make sure you know which car is behind you, as you approach any intersection or turn, slow down to ensure the car behind has seen which way you are going (even if its straight ahead). They should put their indicator on when they see your indicator on.
If you have arranged to join the cruise at a nominated place, wait for the Corvette caravan to pass, then tag on the back. If possible (traffic pending) tail end Charlie will leave a gap for you to get in.
Remember that a Corvette club run puts the club on display to the public.
Contact the Events Coordinator for more information.
