A special Trophy (reborn_ for Official of the Year was given to Wayne Sketchley for his dedicated work for the Club, not only as Secretary but also for running events throughout the year and lots of help for me behind the scenes.
A huge congratulations to all winners, especially out Juniors. If you have a son or daughter who would like to learn hoe to brake, steer and control a car, bring them out and see how out Juniors go. The Club has its own car for the Juniors at no cost, anyone is welcome.
To all other Champions, congratulations, I hope you enjoyed 2017 and hope you return for some Motor Sport fun in 2018. You are having fun, bring your your friends, mates and girlfriends.
To all members, thank you for your participation in our Club. Thanks to all those who help with the WRC, our Club is the reason it is here in Coffs Harbour. We were the Club approached to organise and assist in the first event in Coffs after the disaster at Kingscliffe and Kyogle.
May I also take this opportunity to thank and congratulate your new Club Officers and Committee after our AGM.
