The latest meeting news from VOSNZ includes the following:
We have got a few more events lined up for next year starting with Ellerslie on the 12th Feb, 2012. Two weeks later we are going to a whole new location for the Galaxy of Cars on the 26th Feb. We would really like to see as many of you there as possible. If any of you have any ideas for these shows to make them better, please let me know you thoughts? It is a long day sitting around for hour after hour, but it is only once or twice a year.
Just a quick reminder to the new members that to comply for a Vauxhall or Opel trophy at the GM Day Out, your car must be registered and badged as a Vauxhall or an Opel. This makes it fair for those other members that do have these models there on the day and it complies with the rules of the hosting club. Yes we all know that they are the same thing with a different badge etc... but some of us have spent a lot of money over the years to obtain the real thing from overseas!
I am thinking about organising a club trophy for each of the shows that we do so that all the cars that turn up on the day will be eligible? We would then draw a name out of the hat as a winner. The winner of that show trophy would keep it for one year until the same show the following year. What do you think?
OpelForum members are invited to attend either or both these events with VOSNZ, representing the OpelForum. Stickers for rear windows are available from me, and I hope to attend one of them myself. Failing that, if one of you would be prepared to receive and display some OpelForum display signage to put out, that would be appreciated!
With the media news that Opel is being relaunched as a brand in Australia, and shortly in NZ, the interest should hopefully be greater in our terrific cars of all ages!
