January ‘25 Committee Meeting Update
Dear Members,
On Monday 20th January, your Committee convened for the first Committee Meeting of 2025. Here is a brief summary of that Meeting:
Invited Guests from Targa Australia - Mr Mark Perry, Mr Stuart Benson & Ms Aleshia Penny
We were honoured to have Mark Perry and some of his new Team to join us to discuss the anticipated future of Targa events in Australia.
Most of what was discussed has been shared already by Targa in their Update from the CEO email newsletters. In brief, the new Team is working very hard to bring back Targa Tasmania and other events in a format that is attractive, safe and sustainable.
Targa Tasmania Coronial Inquest Update
TRCAA continues to monitor the progress of the Coronial Inquest, but there have been no developments in the last month.
TRCAA Strategic Plan and 2025 Goals
The Committee has begun work on a new Strategic Plan for TRCAA, along with a new set of Strategic Goals.
As before, the Committee will aim to have a Draft document for Member review in the first quarter of 2025.
SEEKING FEEDBACK: As we look to the future, we are seeking Member feedback on what our direction and goals should be, so please send through your thoughts via a reply to this email, so we can include them in our strategic discussions.
Membership Update - Expired Members
The Committee is working hard to engage with expired TRCAA Members to encourage them to rejoin and support us to support your sport.
It is critically important to retain and grow our numbers, because your Membership gives TRCAA weight and credibility to be at the table and influence the Coronial Inquest, the event providers and the sanctioning bodies to keep our sport alive and worthwhile.
If any of your friends or associates have let their membership lapse, please encourage them to rejoin.
Financial Update
TRCAA Treasurer David Cooper provided an update on TRCAA financials to the Committee.
Next meeting
The Committee’s next meeting will be held on Monday 17 February 2025, where the focus will be Tim Possingham joining us to discuss the recent Adelaide Rally and future event initiatives.
As always, we thank you for your membership and continued support and interest in TRCAA.
Kind regards,
Kristian Downing
Membership Secretary
