Presidents Report
Hello Everyone
Welcome back from your Christmas New Year break, hope you enjoyed it.
We have lot in store for you this year.
Our club events calendar is now available please mark your diaries for any of the
wide choice of events we have organised.
I'm pleased to say that there are speed events plus the motorkhana.
we have negotiated arrangements with some other clubs to make our choices
financially viable.
But it also adds another level of interest, in that, for those who are running in any
of these, you will be able to test your car and yourself against ''new'' group of
competitors.
We have been fortunate to have been invited to events organised and promoted by
other clubs.
These co-ordinated events can only be good for ''grass roots'' motorsport and
ensures that we all have an opportunity to get out and ''have go'' on real race
track.
Added to the mix this year will be another Dyno-Day and club Bar-B-Que.
We have shows to go to, some of which, we can cruise together to the event.
Those details we will announce as the dates get closer.
There will be cruises this year, including the weekend away in late March, this
will be run over days as was last years but it won't be quite so far.
Once again on behalf of our hard working editorial staff, for this magazine,
we always need suitable articles and stories to publish for all to enjoy.
Just contact John Crisafi editor of SFCC Club Newsletter.
Hoping to see you soon
Regards Geoff Bayliss.
