These awards will be in the name of Yvonne Foreman, who was a life member and has recently passed away, and Len Collins, who was the first chairman and was member number one in Australia, also deceased. These two people are being recognized for what they have done to help make the club what it is today.
The award will consist of a grant of $500 to go towards the restoration plus a year’s free membership of the VJMC. The idea is to enjoy restoring and riding a historical Japanese motorcycle and build self-esteem and confidence in the applicant’s abilities and have pride in their workmanship. The grant is to help fund the project.
The applicants will need to make a submission to the VJMC national committee by November 30 each year through a local branch or the address below so that submissions can be discussed and the grantees notified in time for a presentation to them, or a nominee, at the rally in the following year.
The submission will need details such as name, age, address and details of what they hope to achieve in the restoration. Work that has been completed, future costings and time frame along with a project report. It is suggested that they have a mentor who can give advice and assistance in the project. Photos and documentation would be of assistance in the nominees’ submission.
On completion it would be appreciated if the project could be shown at VJMC events including the annual rally with a description of the work undertaken.
The awards will be open to current VJMC members or prospective members.
At the time of going to print, the club had received on applicant for the grant. It would be great to see more coming in!
Nominations should be send to:
The Treasurer, VJMC Inc Australia 8 Oxley Street, Windale NSW 2306
or via email
