May 2013 Club Day

Club day is done and dusted, and what a great day. Thank you to all the committee who put in that extra effort to make it a good club day.

We had key people missing, so special thanks to Tara Sims who was a steward, Reggie for running the canteen without Sam, Steve for doing tech inspections due to David calling in sick and looking after his kids racing, Stan and Bruce for doing finishing, Peter 1st time as Chief steward, and me (John) becoming clerk of course due to Adrian not attending. Also, thanks to all that did jobs they hadn’t done before.

The drivers must be applauded as the driving standard was very good and roll arounds and starts were fantastic.

It helped the day a lot by having 5 permanent flaggies. Goes to show this makes the day go great.

We need people to come forward to learn how to do things so when key people are away we can still run a club day.

Thank you all
John Chapman and David Bell   VP OGKRC
