Peter Wanday Takes Over As the Chairman Of The Exclusive Alfa Romeo Owners Club

At the well attended Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Alfa Romeo Owners Club, Peter Wanday was elected Chairman with his predecessor Bob Dewar remaining on the committee as the Vice Chairman and Event Director of the CBA Africa Concours d’Elegance.

The regulations for the Concours have been approved by the Kenya Motor Sports Federation (KMSF) and the event has been recognized and sanctioned by FIM.AFRICA since 2006. Rated as the classiest event on the Kenya Motor Sports calendar, the Concours has already attracted 56 entries. The list includes one from Tanzania, 13 from Uganda and three from South Africa.

After becoming a committee member in 2013 Peter Wanday was elected Vice Chairman a year later in recognition of his participation in Club’s events and the establishment of links with Alfa Romeo Clubs in other countries. Alfa owners in Kenya are now benefitting from liaison with the historic section of Alfa Romeo in Milan and parts suppliers in Britain, Europe and South Africa.

To a great extent the Club’s strength depends on the experience and enthusiasm of the committee members. Shailesh Chandaria was re-elected Treasurer and Lynette Pereira continues as Secretary.Jane Njoroge is responsible for media coordination and the committee members are Rushmi Bowry and Micky Bassi.

This team is hard at work preparing for the Total Quartz Economy Run which is scheduled for June 18th. This will be the 34th in the annual series organized by the Club and will cover an 84 kilometre route between Nairobi and Naivasha.

Meanwhile the regulations for the CBA Africa Concoursd’Elegance are being circulated to regular and potential competitors. Already the car entry list features an impressive selection of classics including the 1952 Rolls Royce Silver Dawn of Roger Tanner, Sati Gata Aura’s 1947 MG TC and a 1967 Mercedes Benz 300 SEL entered by newcomer Ronald Nyairo.

Among the 12 motorcycles which will be ridden to Nairobi from Kampala by members of the Uganda Bikers Association (UBA) are Dave Maunang’s 2004 KTM and Gilbert Anguyo’s BMW which was made in 2011. Sati Jabbal has entered a 1938 BSA and there are four super bikes which will be shown by Cruzin Kings Club members.
