From The Editor

Welcome to the September 2016 Edition of Holden Torque. Another huge edition with
plenty going on. A reminder for all, nominations for Committee positions close one month
prior to the October AGM. They must be given to the Secretary this month. At each AGM all
the Committee positions are declared vacant and a new Committee is elected there and
then. Please dont be shy if you have time and something to add, we need you.
Enjoy your Read

Charities, as voted on by email, Variety, Little Wings and Westpac chopper.
Sponsors so far, Shannons, ANSMA, Autobarn, Gasweld and Atlantic Oil.

tied up on the microphone like last time.

Precision driving events, If we are to have driving events we need a coordinator to organise and run them.
If no one comes forward to do this there will not be any driving events. If we do have them they will need
to be strictly supervised and have a set of rules laid down and enforced. (Such as any loss of traction means
disqualification).
We need all members to ask around for support from local businesses in the form of donations of goods
for goodie bags and sponsorship.
We will have 20 trophies and are looking for sponsors for each of these at $100 each.
This and our major raffle will be our main source if income prior to the day.

Best Holden, Best GM, Best Ford, Best British, Best Mopar (Chrysler, Valiant), Best Japanese, Best 4wd, Best
