Club donates to Bushfire Appeal - Love The Beast night March 21st, Coburg Drive-In

[MOTIV8]

Hey Guys,

As I have described in the other thread for Sandown in Events, the club did a BBQ at the recent Sprint Day and also a BBQ at All Ford Day.

Together with the proceeds from these as well as GBG, Keith (VP), Eddie and myself the club has donated $1000.00 to the Appeal. As a bit of an added bonus GBG's work was matching dollar for dollar and therefore an effective $2000.00 has been raised. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this great cause.


We are also involved/helping out the Monaro Club with efforts to raise further funds for the appeal as below:

Our club has organized a special viewing of Eric Bana’s new movie, both because we are excited about seeing this movie, and I believe there is a message for our other halves in this flick, that may help them understand our passion for our cars. However now, more importantly we wish to raise further funds for our brothers and sisters whose lives have been turned upside down by the recent tragic fires in Victoria.

We would be delighted if your club would like to join us on the night, which will be a great get together of all car loving people and an opportunity to meet and see each other’s pride and joy. All makes and models are very very welcome.

This is intended as a relaxed and fun outing, with cars to arrive at 6.00pm for an informal car show. The Drive In management will make a few awards (drive in passes) for cars of their choice. We may have some other awards, but this is yet to be confirmed. We do ask that each club attending provides one prize for the monster raffle to be drawn on the night.

Coburg Drive In’s cost per car will be $25.00 (no restriction on occupant No’s and you may stay for free to see the second movie, this would normally be another charget), plus we have a cost of $10 per car (collected separately), this will be a donation for the fire appeal and will get you one raffle ticket per car, with additional tickets available for sale and further donations may also be made on the night.

Both the Monaro Club and the FPV/XR club will have their BBQ trailers there with sausages available for a small cost. Naturally the Drive In Kiosk will be open also.

We require that all clubs wishing to attend, confirm their attendance and expected No’s by the 4th of March, 2009, so we may complete arrangements with Theatre management. We have been allocated Screen No.1 (the biggest of the 3) which will hold 500 cars.

This will be a fun night for everyone and all proceeds will be donated to the fire appeal on behalf of all clubs attending.

Anyone wishing to obtain more information please do not hesitate to contact GBG or myself
