2011 National Corvette Convention Update! (3rd May 2010)
For those who are not aware, each year in Australia, a National Corvette
Convention is held every Easter and it changes state each year. Easter
just past saw the 22nd National Corvette Convention held in Perth with
great success and next year it comes to Melbourne!
12 months ago work began on organising the 2011 convention for Melbourne
- 2 years before the event was due to happen and now we are just 1 year
or 12 months away from what is going to be another great event - the 23rd
National Corvette Convention.
Last year we formed a convention steering committee made up of the heads
of the three Victorian Corvette groups - Allan Marshall from the Chevrolet
Car Club VicVettes subgroup, Denis Canjuga from Corvettes of Geelong and
myself Darren Pelacchi from Corvettes of Melbourne. We also roped in a
few special contributors to assist from the last Melbourne convention
in 2004 who will be key to helping ensure the successful planning of the
event. This included Damien Binding, Greg Webster, Roger Broughton and
Peter Hickman who all bring their special knowledge and skills to the
table. We also needed someone special to help manage the finance and for
this Anna Iacovitti stepped up to the plate to help out.
Much key groundwork has been accomplished in the past 12 months, but
much more is yet to come and to be done. We will put out this special
update each month in the newsletter as well as on our websites to keep
you updated with what is occurring as we draw closer to this special Corvette
event. So far we have locked in the hotel, are finalising our details
on the Show n Shine venue and our track venue and hope to have a special
update next month on all of these. We will also be then asking for your
help! We had planned to release the entry form in Perth at Easter just
past, however we unfortunately lost our show n shine venue due to a new
rule introduced by the City of Melbourne council regarding vehicles on
public lawns to help preserve our parks and hence are negotiating a new
venue and the price. Once this is confirmed we will release the entry
form, but until this is complete, we do not know the final entry price.
The good news is that 2011 will be something different and special!
Why, you might ask? In 2011 we will see a 5 day Easter weekend with it
joining on to Anzac Day and for this you will have an optional 5th convention
day with something special and extra or you can choose to extend your
visit or holiday in Victoria or take your time on your trip back home
if coming from interstate. Because of this we are planning for and expect
a big event and are throwing in lots of extra goodies. Keep your eye out
for this update for all the extra goss!
So what secret will I release now - the name.... The 2011, the 23rd National
Corvette Convention, will be called...
"Corvettes Rev'n Easter 2011"
Events will span from Friday 22nd April to Tuesday 26th April 2011 to
give you the biggest ever Corvette Convention Fix! So check out the Corvettes
of Melbourne website for the convention logo, and all the info as it comes
to hand and definitely don't miss reading this update each month!
