Just got in now. Matt, willay and I were invited along to this day in order to have a look around, meet some people and informally discuss plans for our application to join VBOA.
Good day out, lots to see but perhaps most importantly we've been invited back to the meeting in December at which we'll be presenting our application formally in the form of a presentation to the board. If they're happy enough and we get voted in then we can start planning to attend official VBOA events for 2007 of which there are a few - the largest of which being their national day at Billing Aquadrome which has eluded us for quite some time now.
I would like to thank Brad for getting the ball rolling initially although he couldn't make today due to work commitments, and I would also like to thank Matt and willay for accompanying me.
Hopefully soon I'll also be able to thank those of you who join us at these new events.

Was a good day, handy to meet up with the people who run it all along with the people who run the other clubs. Fingers crossed for December 
Got to have a proper look around the new D as well which was quite nice, I really like them now 
Took one or two pics....mainly of Willay hiding in various differant places in the worlds worst hotel  
One or two car pics too

Matt and I both opted for the T shirt and jeans look while willay upped the bar slightly with his vest/jumper combo. Thanks to marv AS for the pic.

That was well bizarre. Some guy in the middle lane, flashed him to pull over and loads of smoke came out of the back. I don't know who looked more confused, him or us. New one as well. Might be an optional extra for the parking sensors.
