Hey West Aussies!

Perth branch meeting will be held at Curtin University Physical Sciences Building on Tuesday night. We'll meet at 6 for a 7 pm start. The meeting is welcome to everyone, not just members.

We have a few things to discuss, particularly the upcoming electric vehicle transport conference and National AGM and EV Festival. The RAC have some updates on their Electric Highway, while the PR firm hired to spruik the route will be present to field any questions. They will be organising an opt-in mail list for the grand unveiling.

Also, another study into EV purchasing behaviour is being run out of QUT in Brisbane which the AEVA is able to assist with, so we'll be going through that on the night too. I'll bring a copy of the ATA's ReNew magazine with it's big expose on electric vehicles... so I can take issue with it.

We will also be welcoming Chris and Zara Walkden from Tasmania (4Springs here on the forum), so come along and say g'day!

As always, charging will be available from the workshop doorway - thanks Mark!

Cheers,
Chris

Bump!

The next Perth branch meeting is on tonight at the UWA School of Electrical Engineering. A few formalities, a few things to discuss, and a stack of photos from Dave Waplington's trip to Monaco to watch the Formula E electric grand prix!

Starting at 6 pm for tea and biscuits, meeting from 7 to 8 pm.

Hey Perth people,

Our next branch meeting is on Tuesday night at Curtin University. We're starting off at 6 pm for a 7 pm start.

We'll have updates on the Electric Highway and the launch in Margaret River, progress on planning for the national AGM in Fremantle. The Perth AEVA and electric scooter company Fonzarelli are looking to raffle one of their aweseome scooters! Proposals of national significance should be considered and motioned if we wish to take them to the national AGM.

Don't forget that the August meeting will be our branch AGM. Nominations for branch chair, vice chair, secretary, treasurer and general committee are up for renewal so if you would like to get involved put your hand up!

Cheers,
Chris
AEVA National President, WA branch director.

Hey everyone!

The Perth branch meeting will be held at Curtin University next Tuesday.

This will be our branch AGM - if you would like to nominate to be on the committee and getting involved with the AEVA, this is your chance.

We'll also have an update on the planning for the national AGM in October, and the exciting prize sweetener for the EV Festival!Image

See you at 6 for a 7 pm start.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks to those who turned up for our AGM last night. It was a lower turnout than usual, but we had a quorum. In the absence of new nominations, the Perth branch committee is as follows:

Chairperson - Chris Jones
Vice Chair - Mark Winstanley
Secretary - Ant Day
Treasurer - Bruce Armstrong

With general committee members Rob Mason, Mitch Bisby, Richard Baird, Paul Wilson and Joseph Law making up a representation of our 116+ membership.

Thanks again to all for coming along, and especially to John for bringing his wife's delicious treats! The National AGM in October will be grand!

Just a note for West Australians, tonight's AEVA meeting would normally be held at the Curtin University Physical Sciences Building, however due to a room booking issue we are now going to hold the meeting at the Waterford Tavern, Waterford Plaza. This is on the corner of Manning Road and Kent Street. As always, call 04 22 191 511 if you need additional directions.
