2011 Presentation

[Marty]

The 2011 presentation was held last night and was a huge success.

There are a number of people and companies that need to be thanked for making the night one of the best that we have had.

Firstly to the Hellenic Club Woden – great venue and fantastic food. So much food from the antipasto plates to the hundreds of mini desserts – and to the Board of the Hellenic Club who donated the room and equipment hire so that we could donate this money to the Snowy Hydro Southcare Rescue Helicopter Service.

Molly Taylor who in her busy schedule getting ready to go back to England on Monday gave us a great insight to the road to the WRC - which included having to sleep in barns, driving rally cars in Sweden that had no heating and putting up with service vehicles that kept breaking down on the autobahn. Molly we wish you all the best for your 2012 endeavours.

Greg Bayliss for his humour and professionalism as MC.

Fred Gocentas who presented awards and told some tales.

Kelly for the use of her fantastic photos and Charles for putting the photos and videos together for people to enjoy watching their vehicles on the big screen and lastly but by no means least to Charles for the use his equipment that enabled us to have a monitor screen for the MC, the ability to switch between computers to allow the presentation to flow and also for helping Molly when her computer wouldn't talk to the projector. Thank you so much.
