It was great to be back last week after my extended absence over Christmas. Thanks to Greg for covering for me for the past few weeks, it was much appreciated. We had a productive meeting finalising the details of our catering commitment at the Borderline Speedway for the national championships, and agreeing to catering a breakfast for another group (who found us on Facebook) touring through Mt Gambier on March 1st..... details to follow.
It was great to see Boris Stoka, back at the club, he gave us a quick run down of what he has been up to since he left the club and went on to advise he will be splitting his time between Canberra and Mt Gambier moving forward so we may see a bit more of him in the future, which is fantastic.
I look forward to hearing the results of the weekends activities at the speedway and catching up with you all on Tuesday.
Until next time...
