No magazine until August

And maybe not even then!

Hello, club members and magazine readers. As your editor is leaving for the UK on Sunday 21 June, and as he has so far not received anything for the next mag anyway, the next issue of Veloce Nota will be postponed until August, if it appears at all.

Important dates

Baskerville Hillclimb

Our round of the State Hillclimb series is on 12 July at Baskerville, so get there if you can – either in a car or on foot to give a hand. If there are lots of people it makes it a much easier event to run.

Eaglehawk Neck Hillclimb Regularity

As you may have heard, we have been attempting for some months to get an event going at Eaglehawk Neck, on what is one of the best hillclimb roads in the state. There have been a large number of safety problems to deal with, and as a result the event will this year be run as a regularity event. Supp regs are in preparation at the moment, so watch the club web site.

The event will run on Saturday 22 August. And for this one we definitely need all the help we can get. For example, there has to be a person with a radio in every driveway on the road. And as you can see from the attached sketch map, there are a lot of driveways and a lot of course to look after.

Festa Italia Hobart

The annual Festa Italia Hobart street festival will this year take place on Sunday 22 February, taking place at the Australian Italian Club on Federal Street, North Hobart.

The free event will run from 11am until 5pm, with live music, gourmet food and wine, regional displays, car and motorbike displays, children’s activities, cooking demonstrations, grape crushing, spaghetti eating competitions and much more.

Entertainment will include comedian James Liotta, entertainers Tony Pantano and Dean Canan, award winning dance groups from Melbourne, and local artists Mamma Rosa and Dino Minucci.

Annual General Meeting – 25th November

The AGM is to be held on 25 November, at the Civic Club, starting at 7pm. All positions are vacant and nominations are called for.

In order for the club to continue to run we need members to step up and join the committee for 2014-2015.

If you enjoy participating in the club’s events, we would urge you to consider nominating for the committee to continue to make them happen – committee meetings are a couple of hours once a month.
