9-90’s REPORT
Hi to you all
February 9-90s run.
Well, what a day! 8am raining, 10am clearing and from then on sunshine and wind. 50 cars on our first outing for the year. George Nimmo, Jack Porter and Tony Whyte organised this. They had a nice trip away from the main roads. Very thoughtful they were. The first stop was at Amberley domain.From there we went to Wattle Farm, near the Glenmark Reserve where Tony Whyte made us very welcome. He has a big Vintage Tractor collection and he encouraged people to drive them. I feel sorry for the people who worked on them years ago, especially the Lanz Bulldog. By the end of their working day they would be knackered. After that we had lunch in the Glenmark Reserve. I was amazed how quickly people had forgotten the “circle”. Next time, if you are the first there for lunch, please make sure that we sit in a circle. It is friendlier and easier for Annette and me to get round for the raffle. A big thank you to George Nimmo, Jack Porter and Tony Whyte. MARCH 10 Organiser John Winchester Meet at Rolleston Community Centre at 9.55am. This is going to be a longer trip so please start with a full tank and an empty bladder. Look forward to seeing you all next month. FUTURE EVENTS Please check your emails or the club website for any cancellation of our future trips.

Hi my name is Phil Breading and together with my wife Jan we have been VCC members for eight years. We recently started going on the very enjoyable wednesday 9-90s runs. We grab our picnic hampers and meet at the starting point and away we go. There is a huge variety of vehicles on these runs including; Model A, Morris Minor, Triumphs and even a Rolls-Royce. The runs have taken us to private collections of trucks, cars and tractors in the Canterbury area. As always a laugh or story to be told (the same one at times) and a raffle to finish the day. This month was a 60km (approx) run which started at the Peg Hotel car park and finished with a visit to a working tractor bull dozer collection in Waipara in North Canterbury. Our picnic lunch was held in the local domain to round off the afternoon well. Cheers Phil PAGE 23
