Out Of Africa
Gillian Bremner, our Botswana correspondent, has sent another very interesting (and long) letter with news of sleeping in a Landrover mid-stream (on Christmas Eve), a wayward ginger tomcat (and five kittens), good and bad snakes, and grim CoVid-19 statistics. The full text can be viewed/downloaded from here. Well worth a read!
Duty Roster Coordinator
To allow Cameron to prepare for his forthcoming role as President we require a volunteer to take over the task of maintaining the Duty Roster for club meetings. In the past a spreadsheet has been used but this is not essential (pen & paper would work just as well!). Main duties are to extend the roster each month; and email reminders to the duty team each week.
Anyone willing to consider this position please contact Cameron to discuss.
Rally Otago 16-18 April 2021
Rally Otago will run on the 3rd weekend in April just 2 months away. We have been asked to marshal the Anzac Ave Super Special so we need around 20 people between the 3 clubs i.e. 6/7 from each club. Normal start time for the stage is 3pm so team leaders need to be in place from 2pm.
Covid will mean there are few if any overseas entries but we can expect a stellar NZ entry with Hayden Paddon running no 1
Can we get an indication of numbers by late March & names straight after Easter? Thanks, Peter Jackson
