AGM 2011 Agenda Items

Remind your clubs

I would like to start putting together the agenda for our conference. So if councils have anything they would like to have on the agenda. Please let me know, as I do not want to leave the agenda to the last minute.

A letter was sent to 48 Tasmanian Clubs in regard to reforming a State Council for Tasmania. At this point in time, we have received four replies back.

AOMC and Lumley Insurance presented the: National Motoring Heritage Day 15 May 2011 Yarra Glen Racecourse This inaugural event at Yarra Glen was a pleasing success (despite the overcast sky). The CFA and AOMC thank the owners of the 500 vehicles who participated PJ

Did any other council hold any events? Please let me know.

FIVA Fédération Internationale des Véhicules Anciens

FIVA`s Legislation Commission is tasked to ensure that the development of national and international legislation does not create adverse impact to owners of historic vehicles to preserve their vehicles and use them on public roads without unappropriate restrictions. The Commission is chaired by Winfried Kallinger and consists of a Working Group and an Enlarged Group of national delegates. The Commission fulfils its task by: • building its understanding of the historic vehicle movement through knowledge sharing and by undertaking research • monitoring and assessing regulatory developments at the national, EU and global level • maintaining dialogue with decision makers (the European Commission, Members of the European Parliament, Member state Governments and civil servants and the UN) • presenting FIVA’s concerns and solutions to the relevant decision makers when necessary.

The Working Group of the Commission meets three to four times a year. The members each have a particular responsibility for a policy sector or for knowledge developments activities. While the Enlarged Commission meets once a year, e-mail allows for regular two-way communication of regulatory developments (at EU level and at the national level) and of required lobbying actions. The Chairman coordinates all these activities with support from Andrew Turner of the Public Affairs consultancy EPPA.

Are we members of this organisation? If not should we be? I will add this to the Agenda to be discussed.
