c) Workshop

R McGlashan event was well oversubscribed. Apologies to those who indicated
interest but could not go due to limited spaces. Great event enjoyed by all.
•
Project car – big thanks to Wally Phoebe for wiring up the car which now has
working lights/indicators/fuel pump etc. Thanks to all who have offered to house
the project car in light of break-ins. The project car will stay at Caversham, which is
more suitable for the members.

Ron Fabry indicated that additional security measures would be installed on the
clubhouse and workshop to deter thieves. The Club library will be moved into the
main meeting area to keep it secure.
•
RF visited a potential new Clubhouse (old aboriginal school that backs onto
Caversham) now owned by Ertech. The building is an old classroom which at a
pinch could be used. RF/RO will keep on talking to Ertech to see what quid pro
quo may be required to secure the site for the VSCC if the need arises.
•
Brief discussion about the York Street block as a site for a new clubhouse.
Reminder that others are interested in the site and tender process can be expected.
The VSCC's chances of success in getting the site will improve if co-bidding with
other community organisations e.g. netball Assocn/Mens Shed.

A final list of options will be prepared and presented to Club members for
consideration.
