G’day Flaggies,

Recent Events …

•   Saturday night 20^th FEB Night Meet was a huge success. We had a great turnout of 24 Flaggies including 1 New person + 2 drivers.

• The racing itself was very good.  The program was well managed & organised and the BIG surprise was………. we finished 20min earlier than scheduled !!!!!

Our club received 12 new coolie bags from WASCC. They were greatly appreciated, but noted that with the water bottles they were just slightly too tall to properly close the lids. The WASCC also arranged a tasty dinner for us of Subway rolls & cookies and roasted chicken pieces. Immensely enjoyed by all.

•  Dave Walker (WASCC) also addressed our group to welcome us back for       another year of racing and pass on latest news. There is talk of reducing the age of officials to 12yrs of age, and future trainees only having to complete one official meet as a trainee before applying for their License. This will be confirmed at a later date.  There was a lot of concern amongst the Flaggies at having 12yr olds on checkpoints, the safety of it and the legalities it brings forth.

• Fuel vouchers from the V8’s were raffled, as were x5 fuel vouchers & 4 Hogs Breath vouchers for this Meet.

• A Risk Assessment form has been placed in every folder for each checkpoint so as to report any maintenance required on that checkpoint. WASCC has been informed of problems from this last meet, and they have promised to resolve these issues.

•   Also Happy 50^th Birthday to John Ackers.

To be discussed…

•  A change needs to be made to our Flag Marshal Association’s Constitution. It will be discussed and officially voted on by all members at our next race meet.

•  WASCC Committee has presented a proposition to WFMA that they will give a donation to WFMA if we supply 4 flaggies per day for each Saturday Tuning Day at the racetrack. 2 in the morning & 2 in the afternoon. It was agreed that a minimum of 12 flaggies needed to volunteer for the roster, so that each flaggie will only be needed 3 times over the year. 4 Committee members have volunteered for the first Saturday, and it will be discussed at next race meet on 13/3/10 with the rest of our group. WASCC will be notified after this next meet if we accept their proposal.

Upcoming events ….

• Next race meet on Saturday 13/3/10 will be a night meet on the long track.  WASCC will confirm this, has been informed that lights will need to be installed at checkpoints 6,7 & 8.

 REMEMBER

Colin Gilbert (Vice President) will be contacting members in reference to who is available to flag at upcoming race meets. Please make sure we have your current phone numbers & email address.

•   Vintage Sports Car Club of WA  ~ Northam Flying 50 on Sunday 28^th March and ALBANY classic on June 5^th & 6^th.
