March 2024: ‘The Sinking and Salvage of the Costa Concordia’

March Members’ Gathering, 12 March 2024

Come along to our March Members Gathering on 12 March at the Strathfield Golf Club to hear the fascinating story of the sinking and Salvage of the Costa Concordia.

Noel Phelan from the Australian National Maritime Museum and Naval Historical Society will be our guest speaker for the night. He will talk about what really happened, the chain of events that led to this disaster and the brilliant engineering to salvage the ship that took years and 2 billion dollars.

Members’ Gatherings

Monthly Gatherings are open to all members and visitors. They are held on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:15pm at Strathfield Golf Club in Strathfield NSW.

At these gatherings you’ll be able to catch up with the latest happenings in the Club as well as enjoy a social evening with other members – we’ll usually see upwards of 100 members at a gathering. A guest speaker is often invited to present a topic of interest.

Arrive early, enjoy a delicious meal at discounted MG Car Club Sydney rates, have a drink or a cappuccino at the bar and meet up with old (and young) mates.

We also take this opportunity to offer our quality regalia products for sale, and provide access to the Club’s library of books and videos.
