I came to my first meeting in 1997 at the Mercat.
Rob baker
Jeff Anderson
Dave Munroe
Rob Smith
Mike Moore
These were the core of the club back then.
Bernie didn’t get to the meetings back then (busy running a city), but I knew him by name, and the first big event I went to was Wheels, Wings and Water which I think Bernie help organise.
Around 1998 we got a few more regulars.
John Cini
Neville Threader
Mark Grinning
Graeme Townsend
David Tucker
John Tolan
Rob Hamilton
Laurie Bongalis
I’m sure there was more.
We use to average 5 to 15 people at those meetings.
From 1998 to 2010 I only missed one meeting.
The Cobra Car Club of Victoria officially started (incorporated) on the 3rd of July 2003.
Before that we were an appendage of the South Australian Cobra Car Club and before that I think there was an association with the Bolwell Car club.
The club Swelled from 25 members to 75 after we put on a large display at Hawthorn Park in 2003(not sure of that date).
When I handed the presidency over in 2004 we had over 100 paid up members.
And remained healthy ever since.
