Brocky's Big Day Out - 12/11/2006

We arrived first at 7.30am and set up an excellent display. We had a DVD running and plenty of pictures, brochures and info packs and enthusiasm for all to see. As usual there was a very eclectic group of cars on display, from showroom stock to race cars to highly modified road cars. There just seemed to be something missing! I am sure now that a certain Mr P. Brock was missed, much more than expected. The day lacked that special something that has been present before, and Brock is that ingredient. There were no special guests or “stars” present. I did see John Harvey wandering around, although he seemed to have little to do with the event as such. I am sure we all agree that the Brock Foundation does a wonderful job, and we are happy to support them

Peter S. had done a great job with the display area, and is to be congratulated for his enthusiasm and willingness to travel all over the place at odd hours of the morning to get club related displays and materials set up - and to keep sourcing fuel for the genie so that we could all continue to enjoy Metallica throughout the day! One new piece of promotional material we had is a one page pamphlet that promotes the club, and can be customized for specific events. These and the video were popular on the day, so hopefully more new members will result. Finally, Craig B deserves a very special mention for getting four plugs in for the car club during his interview.
