News Flash – May 2021

A great show again in Wangaratta with lots of local clubs involved, good organisation, wonderful displays of cars, trucks, tractors, stationary engines and aircraft. A few club members made it to the show and flew the EHCC banner. All agreed it was well worth the effort. The event is all to raise funds for local charity and If you missed it, you missed out!

On the ANZAC weekend my brother David and I plus two mates went on a trip to Lightning Ridge N.S.W. for the dawn service.  Lightning ridge is famous for its Opals. We all had a great few days away and took some photos that maybe of interest to club members.  We try and go to a few different places for Anzac Day as our mate is a Vietnam Vet. We visited a Vietnam Vet memorial 80km from Lightning Ridge. Check out the rego plate below.

Last year on the 22 March 2020 our club celebrated its 20th year anniversary. Unfortunately due to the Covid 19 outbreak and its associated restrictions, we were unable to hold an event to recognize this milestone in our clubs history. Not wanting to let this auspicious event go buy unnoticed, your committee proposes to hold a function at the Di Vinci Club Wangaratta to mark the occasion, which will also incorporate our annual 10 year member dinner (2020 & 2021). We therefore offer up the following proposal:

20th Anniversary Dinner & Presentation Night

Date: Saturday 7 August 2021
Place: Di Vinci Club, 55 Pyles Lane, Wangaratta
Time: Pre drinks 6.00pm, Dinner 7.00pm
Cost: Three course meal $35.00 per head, Complimentary bread, drinks at bar prices

We also propose to hold a silent auction and mini trivia night.

Menu

Entree (Everyone) Pasta Entree
Main (Choice of) Chicken Parmigiana & 3 Veg, or Veal Schnitzel & 3 Veg
(Please advise your choice of one of the above on payment and any special dietary requirements)
Dessert (Served Alternatively) Tiramisu, or Cannoli

In order to proceed with these arrangements, the Di Vinci Club require a minimum of 45 people to attend this event. At the last two meetings we have asked who would be interested and have approximately 30 members expressing their definite interest in this function.

We now require any other members wishing to join the club to celebrate this night to contact any committee member and advise names and numbers as soon as possible. Please note this night is not only for members, family and friends are most welcome. Eight people per table is the usual set up at the Di Vinci Club.

Once we have achieved our minimum numbers requirement, we will need participating members to pay their $35.00 per head as soon as possible, but no later than the 6 July 2021.

If we cannot reach, the minimum 45 attendees requirement by the 30 June 2021, this event will be cancelled.
