Big Cobra reunion

[BMK]

Hi all,

One of the recent decisions by the committee of the Victorian club is to have key guest speakers at each of our monthly meetings...

You may recall we had George Vidovic from Python Racing in Melbourne at a recent meeting. During that meeting we had a little bit of trivia with George answering some "early club history" questions.

What was the first car driven over the new Bolte Bridge by the Premier of Victoria?..

Who was the State Government Minister who launched Python Racing and then took a run around the block in a Cobra..

This and more questions will be answered.

Directly from that I asked George to come back to our December meeting after talking to President Rohan..

George has agreed and has promised to put together a detailed history of the club.

We need all of your photos and history on the Victoria club. Any photos would be appreciated. Forward copies to Rohan or to George and we will get them on disc.

Additionally, George has asked all members to call into Python Racing and Vehicles in Ferrers Street South Melbourne any Saturday morning. Drive into his shop if you are in your Cobra. George and Maggie are great hosts and have their vintage coffee machine going non stop...



Back to that first Wednesday meeting in December..

I thought it would be a great opportunity to track down the early club members who first got together to form the club. From early meetings at George's Python vehicles in South Melbourne onto the Mercat Hotel months later etc

Do you remember who else was there, Mike Moore, Rob Baker and the early members.. who else was there.. we used to meet and just talk cars..

So the aim is to make up a list of those early members and I can contact them to invite them to a night of nostalgia and possibly a later discussion panel at another meeting...

What are your thoughts..

The first Wednesday in December is the meeting date, so we have a little bit of time to chase people up.

I will chase Mike Moore and Rob Baker as I have their details.

Lets get those original members together and names

Lets make this a great night...
