Hi Stephen,

All positions on Committee are open for re-election.

my apologies have been sent to the Pres as i won't be there due to being entered in a race meeting on the same date for a while before this was advertised.
my proxies have been given to Steve for the AGM as well.

BCCV members, please get to this event, have your voice heard, and let's get to rebuilding the BCCV to it's former self soon.
the old ways CAN NOT continue, and as the rest of the forward progress and expansion in the Bellett community in Australia shows, there is enough interest surrounding our cars to really get out there and have some fun!

Congrats to the new BCCV committee.

I decided to bow out at Treasurer prior to the AGM (BCCV members, see my Treas report) after some 21 years. In fact, only the 2nd treasurer for the BCCV in it’s life so far.

It has been VERY difficult to get members to attend organised events in the last few years. This maybe partly due to the use of email for newsletters, something I was not keen on and voiced as such at Comm. Meetings. Age is another issue. Members are getting older and interest wanes also.

I haven’t seen any posts via these pages to communicate the make-up of the new committee. I may have missed the section perhaps, but will leave it to them to do so.

I do hope that the BCCV can move forward as promised above.

Glenn

Ex Treas BCCV

Glenn Congrats on taking a well deserved break!!! Now that you are a foot loose and fancy free normal member (is there such a thing??) are we going to see another car on the road????

Now come on new committee time to show your selfs.

Thanks for kind words .......

I would like to say thank you to the outgoing Committee for their effort over the past year, An especially big thanks to Glenn for his efforts over the past 21 years service as Treasurer, Thanks Glenn.

Congratulations Everyones.....

my thanks for your 21 years service as Tres Glenn.
your efforts are always appreciated.

in respect to the reasons i believe why the BCCV is in a state of non-activity, i believe as follows:
very little communication from the club to it's members, be it very infrequent newsletters, and when the newsletter is done and emailed, not everyone receives it as some of the email details are incorrect, so i agree with you there.
no events are advertised. the good turnout at the AOMC in may and the great showing at the TCCA jap day in nov prove that members want to get out there, and a few phone calls from yours truly got those members and cars there. this should have been done by the club tho.... and that fact that the AOMC has their own jap day in 2 weeks and the club STILL hasn't advised it's members of this is a disgrace, as i notified the club of the event last october and the fact that we MUST support it in a big way has been ignored....
non-car related events. honestly.... this is a car club, so the common thread is cars, and events should be car related. going to eureka tower by train for a car club event is a joke.... sorry, just my opinion.
this is another reason to ask why the BCCV hasn't followed the ICCA's example and even just advertised the nationals to it's members either to get it's members enthused about getting their bellett's out, which has a rub-off effect on the club as a result. the "old" national meetings of the 90's proved that works back then, and the ICCA and the Qld guys and girls have shown that in current times.
trust me, age is no barrier either. the nationals is the biggest thing the bellett community in australia has ever seen, and people of all ages and backgrounds really do set there whole year around being there, and travel huge distances in some cases to be involved.
as the founder the nats of today, it is truly the one thing i'm proudest of the most, as the amount of new people, cars, information, and most importantly, friendships that have come about from this one event is fantastic, and i believe it's a real shame that the BCCV has decided to not be a part of that "bigger picture".
anyway, none of this is ever intended as an attack or anything of that description, it's just my observations of where things have changed of recent times, and are the things that as the "new" president that i'll be addressing (amoungst other things) to bring the BCCV back to it's strength again.
cheers, take care, and hope to see u in a bellett again soon!
