Business Arising:

PH gave an update on an Action Item assigned to him. This was to get feedback from the Club Membership regards AH suggestion of setting up a Club Championship which would be awarded at the end of each calendar year.

The overwhelming feedback on this matter from all club members contacted was a definite “NO”.

AH was assigned an Action Item to make contact with John Tetley and the administration of Lakeside Raceway to discuss the possibility of staging a half day event along the lines of the very successful “LapZ at the Lake 2010”.
DR advised that he had sent an email message to Bill Campbell outlining the Z Car Club’s desire to host a “Japanese” Super Sprint event at Morgan Park Raceway over the Queen’s Birthday weekend in June 2012.

Action Item assigned to PH to make contact with Bill Campbell over the weekend of the 19th/20th February and discuss the event proposal to hold an “All Jap Event” over the Queen’s Birthday Weekend of the 9/10/11 of June 2012. The format of the weekend would be, practice on Saturday and Sprints on the Sunday and Monday. There would also be a “Show and Shine” and “Drags” event but the Z Car Club would be looking to other car clubs to take on the responsibility for organising these peripheral events.
Action Item assigned to PH to request that Bill Campbell please pencil the “Z Car Club of QLD” in as organisers for the Nissan/Datsun Nationals over the Easter weekend in 2015

There was a general discussion regards the “suggestion that the club may get involved in a (Flood Relief) fundraiser” Agenda item.

The outcome from the discussion was that monies would be raised by club members selling off any surplus parts by placing ads on the club website and donating the funds to the Salvation Army for their flood relief activities. This recommendation was raised by DM and seconded by WG, passed.
