COMMERCIAL REPORT

Greetings all.

Not much to report from the Commercial section this month. VCC Canterbury committee member Graham Evans, has advised he has almost completed his Model A Tudor delivery - so I'm hoping that will be seen out and about and on the Commercial Rally next year. Certainly looks nice from the photos I've seen. Well done Graham.

The May noggin was held at the Bealey Quarter - 9 hardly souls turned out on a chilly evening. Not an overly busy night but parking appeared to be a bit of a problem. Thought it might be a good central location but never mind.

The June Noggin is on 21 June and is to be held at the Papanui RSA. The bar closes at 9pm so it won't be a late one. You can possibly join the Quiz evening if you have your thinking caps on!

Dave Cooper has invited us to his workshop for the July Noggin. Details in the newsletter next month. If anyone has any suggestions for the August Commercial Noggin please let me know and I will make some enquiries.

I spotted this old 1948 Dodge truck in a yard recently - looks like it would have a few stories to tell - be great to see it mobile again one day.

Upcoming events are Irishman Rally 3-4th June, Restoration of the year Rally

11th June and the AGM on 18th June.

See you soon

So very lovely to see so many people turned up on a cold wet day but I think all that came really enjoyed what Fred had in store for us. After a nice run, we arrived at Crozier Farm on Dunsandel Road. Here a family had been farming for a few generations. They grow and pack veggies here mostly potatoes, carrots and onions. We had a great tour of the pack house seeing carrots arrive from the ground to be washed graded and packed, also the same for the potatoes .

Many thanks, Fred for a very interesting day.

Hi to you all,

The June trip to Geraldine…..there is an $10.00 entry fee per person for the Roger Mahan museum. (I heard a few girls are going shopping instead)…….

I believe quite a few people are staying in Geraldine overnight. Someone booked Colleen and myself in. We are looking forward to this trip,( been out of circulation too long).
