July 2024
Web Editor Note: This report was written before our Euro Motorfest was washed out. See the Event Page for details of the new date.
By the time you read this, hopefully we will have had good weather for our Euro Day
on the 30th June. Andrew, Frans and Greg have been dotting the I`s and crossing
the T`s to make sure that we have everything in place for the event. Our J Van has
been giving us a few worries, but is now sorted, thanks to Gary Piper.
Anne Pettigrew has been busy, working with Andrew to organise a presentation Lunch. We will still do the toy run to Rathmines, for the Salvation Army and have lunch at the club, but our presentation of trophies will be held on another day and a different venue. More to come from Anne and Andrew on that a little later.
Frans has also been busy finalising the grant for our defibrillator. He has now mounted the cabinet at the top of the stairs and loaded the defibrillator inside plus placed the signage in the correct places. Thank you Frans.
Now to some sad news, Club member, past committee member and friend to all Brian Madden sadly past away early Saturday morning the 22nd June 2024. Brian`s funeral is to be held on Monday 1st July at 3pm at Pettigrew`s Belmont. Brian was very active in our club, best known for organising events, Car show`s and trips away or just being there when you needed him. Condolences to Ros and family.
R.I.P. Brian.
Yours Octagonally,
Denny Bowden,
President MGCCHR
