CSCA Presentation & 2014 Final Results

A HAPPY NEW YEAR to all!

As we approach the Australia Day Weekend and start thinking about the 2015 Season, it’s time for a quick recap of the 2014 Season. We did very well, and everyone enjoyed themselves a great deal, so congratulations and thank you to everyone involved! Hit the following links for the results and final pointscores for 2014.

To celebrate last year’s fun and acknowledge the winners we will be have a Presentation Evening at Sports House, 6a Figtree Drive Sydney Olympic Park, on the THURSDAY 12th February in Ken Brown Room 1.

Entry is from the carpark at the rear of the building with plenty of (Lotus friendly) secure parking available. This is a catered event by the CSCA so food and drinks will be provided for a token $5 fee at the door. All are welcome and encouraged, including wives and girlfriends.

I would be especially thankful if all trophy winners could be in attendance to accept the accolades from their fellow competitors, and save me the job of distributing uncollected trophies throughout the year. As you will note CLA again won the Club Championship so in effect all CLA competitors are trophy winners and I hope to see you all there on the night!

I’ve made a hard copy of the calendar for the 2015 season available for download below. This calendar includes other events that we feel you might be interested in. You’ll also be able to keep up to date with what the club is up to in the online calendar here.

I expect 2015 to be a busy year, so now is the time to mark up you calendars! The first event will be hosted by Club Lotus Australia on the 22nd of March at Wakefield Park. Supplementary Regulations will be available early February via Motor Event Entry, and once again entry will be via the site with no paper entries accepted.

I hope to see you at the presentation. Please drop me a line letting me know that you’ll be attending for catering purposes.
