Just a to show the Australian Sprite Clubs aren&#8217;t isolating from each other!!Just to kick things off:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hello from the &#8216;Stage 4 State&#8217;\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"&#x1f609;\" src=\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/e\/1f609\">\u00a0and greetings from all our members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here in Victoria we had a small burst of club activity in June and early July as the pandemic situation appeared to be improving but it wasn&#8217;t to last and now our beloved cars are gathering dust again. Jack De Bruijne usually runs a mid-week drive during winter for those members\u00a0who have retired. Despite having a knee operation that stopped him from leading a couple of the drives they went ahead as &#8216;Jackless&#8217; drives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our indefatigable Soc Sec (Chris Crombie) managed to get in a couple of social drives as well. One of them was a Sunday drive to Billanook Winery in the Yarra Valley which I was able to join and blow away most of the cobwebs &#8211; for both me and my car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chris had a tour arranged in September to the Western District to visit all the painted silos but that has just had to be cancelled, or at least postponed until next year. We&#8217;re all keeping our fingers crossed our end of year dinner will be able to go ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All our members are safe and well which is the main thing. I hope your clubs are &#8216;riding the wave&#8217; and that all your members and their families are also safe and well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheers<br>Mike Welsh &#8211; President &#8211; Austin Healey Sprite Drivers&#8217; Club Inc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello fellow Sprite Club Members, The current crisis is probably affecting our club more than each of yours but with most activities shut down I thought it would be good &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/spriteclub.com.au\/?p=8778\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">A Message from the Victorian AHSDC President<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"_s2mail":"","advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","hentry","category-spritely-chat","post_format-post-format-image"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pgyCDM-2hA","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spriteclub.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8778","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spriteclub.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spriteclub.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spriteclub.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/37"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spriteclub.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8778"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/spriteclub.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8778\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8779,"href":"https:\/\/spriteclub.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8778\/revisions\/8779"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spriteclub.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8778"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spriteclub.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8778"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spriteclub.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8778"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
