President's Message

Alfisti,

We are approaching the end of the year with a few key activities planned. This will complement the start of the festive season with our program of major events, namely the Spettacolo at the end of November, the final competition event at Phillip Island and the Club's Family Xmas BBQ in December. This is a good balance of events to finish up in the year.

We have just participated in a variety of club events namely the popular Winton 10 Hour Relay, Melbourne Italian Festa with a Club Display and numerous members attended the Alfisti Spring Tour. And last Sunday we had a great day out with a drive to the Pig & Whistle in Trentham East.

Following on from past successful drives, we are holding our Mid-Week Drive in November. All new and classic Alfa Romeos are encouraged to attend. Lunch will be at the Intercontinental Hotel, Sorrento.

The Spettacolo Festa will occur on the last Saturday and Sunday of November. The Spettacolo Concorso will be held at Mauceri Motors on Saturday morning for restored Alfas that have pre-booked. The Spettacolo Dinner will be held at the Village Green Hotel, Mulgrave with dinner in the Copper Fox Room on Saturday 23rd November. This is a great opportunity to meet or catchup with regional and interstate Alfisti. On Sunday the Spettacolo Show & Shine is for all Alfisti and will be held at Wesley College's Glen Waverley Campus. We expect about 300 Alfas on the field. Arrive from 9.00am. Admission fee is $10.

AROCA Victoria is indebted to the following organisations for their sponsorship of Spettacolo: Mauceri Motors, Carlei Vineyards, Hayton Kosky Lawyers, Zagame Automotive, eni lubricants and Meguiar's.

Our final competition event for the year will be the AROCA Supersprints at the Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit on 1st December. For those not on the track, come along and support your Club' competitors and organisers and enjoy the day. We anticipate holding Parade laps for non-competitors at midday.

The Goldfields Chapter will be holding their final drive for the year to The Springs Hotel in Waubra on Saturday 7th December. This is the Xmas Drive & Dine so book now and be sure to decorate the sleigh!

Book now for the Kids Xmas Party at the Diamond Valley Miniature Railway on 8th December. Open to all club members to bring your children &/or grandkids. There will be a picnic BBQ facilities, a train ride and most importantly a visit from Santa. See promo below and refer to the club website for bookings.

NB. Entries for January's Festival of Motoring @ Cruden Farm CLOSE on 13th December! See below.

Our final Café Society Club Breakfast will be held on Sunday 15th December at Brunettis in Carlton for all new and existing members. It's a great chance to meet new members who have joined the club.

I note that as we move forward towards the end of 2024, we still have a lot of enthusiasm within the Club, demonstrated by our Committee, the many volunteers and members alike. Thank you.

 

Otherwise

Check the calendar on the Club's website for new and updated events. You will also find information on Club events on the Club's Facebook page, and in the Club's quarterly magazine Cross + Serpent.

 

Stay safe & well, 

John Hanslow
