FPV & XR Owners Club 10th Anniversary

MOTIV8 · 28-11-2006, 05:12 PM

Hi Guys & Gals

The Committee has been working furiously over the past few weeks on some of the events that are planned for the celebration of the club's 10th Anniversary next year. The main focus at present is organising a Gala Dinner around May with a few Special Guests and surprises in store for the night. At the moment we have 90% secured a location and can hopefully reveal some of the plans at the next General Meeting on Tues 5th Dec.

Please watch this space for updates and if you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate either Keith vicepres@fpvxrclub.com or myself president@fpvxrclub.com

We plan to have an absolute ball....... so whilst we are merrily drinking away you will attempting to get some shut eye with a rather large smelly man snoring next to you so loudly you cannot hear the movie.......

and the lovely LA on the other side using your shoulder as a pillow.........

**Full Noise** · 13-05-2007, 11:32 AM

What a great night, although I do feel sorry for the poor buggers that had to sit on the Oran Park table.

Sledgehammer · 13-05-2007, 06:25 PM

If someone could post up some pics of the night it would be appreciated. I'm sorry I missed the evening, I hope that you all had a great night and the club goes onto greater heights. See you all soon.

Am in the process of doing just that task right now.....

:

The night was a fantastic one- our Panel of experts (John Bowe, Allan Moffat, Steve Richards and Tom Gorman) were great, and stayed on well after their duties were done for a chat with the members, signing tickets and plenty of pics.

The band were great, the boys were very handsome and we girls frocked up a plenty!!!!!!

I know of quite a few sore heads this morning, but it was worth it.

Go baby Go · 14-05-2007, 01:17 AM

pics are loading on the website

Will do the rest in the morning.....

MOTIV8 · 14-05-2007, 08:26 AM

Firstly thanks to the Committee for all of your hard work in organising a FANTASTIC night that will not be forgotten for some time to come. Also to the special guests that came along for the evening Allan Moffat, John Bowe, Steve Richards and Tom Gorman thank you and Glenn Ridge did a great job as MC for the night.

I hardly recognised most of the members that were there due to the classy clothing that everyone was wearing and not one person wearing a race shirt at a club event - now that is a first!!!!!!!

I am sure that there is going to be a few posts on about the night to follow this as well as the photos on the website (thanks Kaz) and if you have any photos of the night that you would like to add please send them through to Karyn.

Once again thanks to all who came along to make this a memorable night, as well as the sponsors and supporters of the night who contributed to the Auction, Raffle and Door Prizes.
