The Club held it's AGM on November 19th, 2009. The evening was hosted at the German Canadian Cultural Association and featured great conversation, excellent food, and somewhere in there we got around to discussing some Club business.

Dave Welsh gave the President's message with all of the highlights of 2009. The Club is doing excellent with strong membership, and sound financial footing. We have a new logo based on some changes in BMW's branding policies. The Driving School is still going strong despite uncertainty about the future of Race City Speedway in Calgary.
