Weekend away to Margaret River

Thanks in no small way to Pam van Dam, 29 of our members and their families took a journey down south to Margaret River, stopping for lunch in Cowaramup along the way.

An overnight stay was followed by breakfast at the hotel and the journey home via the Gabriel Chocolate Factory and the Aravina Estate (and Motor Museum) for lunch.

There were a total of 13 Mercedes-Benz travelling in convoy, ranging from a 1988 300CE to the very latest GLA45 AMG. Everyone had an amazing time, with a great turnout and no doubt a sign of what we can all continue to experience at future events!

A full wrap up of the weekend will be in the next Megastar magazine, due to hit letterboxes in early October.

AGM Done and dusted…

The MBCCWA’s 2015 Annual General Meeting was held at The Vic Hotel in Subiaco on Friday the 14th of August.

Outgoing president Paul Blank addressed some 44 members in attendance, reporting on what has been an extraordinary 12 months for the club.

Outgoing secretary Trent Chellingworth the provided an update on the club’s current financial position, tabling the treasurer’s financial report and offering an insight into what lies ahead.

The evening also marked a changing of the guard, with some committee members stepping down and members electing the following new executive committee line-up:

• President: Trent Chellingworth
• Vice-president: George Kopsen
• Treasurer: Eva Bellaire
• Secretary: Todd Cooper
• Editor: David Pescott

As proposed, several minor changes to the club’s constitution were also discussed and approved by members.

Members also voted on the Club Member of the Year, awarding it to George Kopsen by a narrow margin.

Once formalities were out of the way, members enjoyed each others’ company at the bar on the private balcony.

Thank you to all those who attended the AGM, and those who have served on the outgoing committee with dedication.

This year promises to be a new and exciting era for the MBCCWA and there’s still time to get involved with the new committee.

A Stormy night for the President’s Dinner

Wow! Even Perth’s wild winter weather couldn’t keep the MBCCWA President’s Dinner from being a roaring success!

Some 80 members and guests descended upon Royal Perth Golf Club on Friday the 19th of June to hear president Paul Blank’s reflection on the club’s current position, and were amazing by guest speaker Rosco McGlashan’s address on his next land-speed mission,

The all-new CLA45 AMG 4MATIC Shooting Brake was also displayed alongside the president’s E55 AMG, attracting quite a few looks from the guests.

Special thanks to sponsor Diesel Motors and MBCCWA’s own events co-ordinator Natasha Hunt for arranging this very special evening on the green.

A great display of Mercedes-Benz at the Auto One Classic Car Show

On Sunday the 3rd of May, 19 club members brought along some vehicles that were the envy of many. We were certainly a drop in the ocean of the 1000+ cars on display in Whiteman Park, but that didn’t stop us from gathering onlookers around the well-presented vehicles on display. Take a look through the gallery and keep a look out in the next edition of Megastar for a full run-down of the event.

German Car Day 2015 was a big success!

With around 250 cars and well over 300 people in attendance, today’s German Car Day was bigger and better than ever!

Thanks to everyone who attended; we certainly enjoyed ourselves and hope you did too (despite the traffic delays).

A big thanks to John & Shirley Hall, Angus Stewart and the committee for making the day run smoothly and enjoyable for all.

The day started with all attendees meeting in Parliament Place before a short drive through King’s Park. Upon arrival at Beaton Park in Nedlands, we were greeted with a fully prepared cooked breakfast that went down very well.

Members old and new had a chance to meet and mingle and it certainly set the precedent for the year’s events ahead.
