August 2019 Club News

Vale Chris Rees

Dear AVCMC Member,

As many of you may be aware the AVCMC has been deeply saddened by a recent tragic event involving our President Bob Rees and his wife Christine (Chris) who was also the Membership Secretary.

Bob and Chris had an accident while they were on a motorcycle tour in Africa. Sadly Chris passed away from her injuries and Bob has had several operations and at this stage we do not know how long his recovery will take.

In light of the above there will be no magazine for August as Bob is also our magazine editor.

Bob and Chris were involved in planning and carrying out many of our events and played major roles in the Hill Climb long weekend.

The Hill Climb weekend will go ahead but the Saturday afternoon Poker Run will become a raffle. The Club is currently weighing options, chasing alternative ideas and gathering volunteers.

The Saturday night dinner will be a BBQ.

We will know more after the August AGM.

Updates will be posted on our website and the Hill Climb Co-ordinator plus committee members are available for enquires.

Regards,
Chris Prescott
Secretary AVCMC.
