CONCESSIONAL REGISTRATION UPDATE OF INFORMATION |
Recently I was asked by a couple of members to seek clarification from Queensland Transport as to whether or not our members are permitted, under the restrictions of Special Interest Vehicle Registration (commonly referred to as 'Concessional Registration'), to drive their concessionally registered cars to the Clubrooms on a Friday night for the weekly Friday night Noggin 'n' Natters.
The guidelines which are published on the Qld Transport website and the letters which those with cars on this type of registration received from Qld Transport last year certainly did not give a clear indication of whether or not this usage was permitted. Please click here to read the response from Queensland Transport in full.

JUNIOR DRIVER INITIATIVE |
New Committee member and well-known hillclimber, Neil Lewis, has put
together a Junior Development Program for pre-licence age youngsters with
the aims of fostering interest in motorsport and club camaraderie and
assisting young people in gaining a basic understanding of how to use a
motor vehicle in a safe and sensible way. He intends to devise a training
plan for each participant based on their current abilities. He is also
hoping that this program will encourage younger members to our Club.
In keeping with his goal of making the tuition highly individual, only four
participants were accepted into the first get together of the first group
to undertake his program on November 21st in the pit area of the hillclimb.
The Chief Steward of the meeting sat in on the discussion/tuition session
and was so impressed that he highly commended Neil's program in his
Steward's report. The photos below are from the training session which
included a 'walk and talk' around the hillclimb circuit. For more
information contact Neil Lewis on 3807 6273. |
