It’s been a bit quieter this month, but fortunately there’s plenty coming up to keep everyone amused and make the most of the good weather while it lasts. Thanks go to those involved in arranging the upcoming events, and please get your entries in so they know their efforts are appreciated. With the wild weather affecting parts further north, following on from the many disruptions of the last few years, it makes you very grateful to be able to carry on with life as normal in our part of the world. I’m sure many will be feeling for those affected having been through difficult times at the hands of mother nature themselves, all of which serves as a reminder to be kind to each other, and make the most of the opportunities to get out and enjoy yourself when you can.

Even without the more unusual weather events there is still always work to be done maintaining our facilities. Mike Foster and his team of willing helpers do a wonderful job of keeping things looking great, but as time goes on there is always a need for more people to join them to help out. Anyone who can spare a few hours here and there to do their bit to help with the upkeep of the grounds and buildings will be made more than welcome. We need the assistance of willing volunteers to maintain that which was built by volunteers, to prevent an otherwise inevitable decline of what we have.

Looking forward to seeing you out and about. All the best and safe motoring.

Cheers

Neil

Hi all,

Further to my report in last month’s issue of The Hub, the feedback on the Items to be discussed at this month’s Exec Meeting 4/5th March has been nothing short of dismal. Why am I not surprised? Well I can only do so much in bringing the items to your attention and if you are not interested in the direction of the Club, make up of the Committee/Board, Long Service Awards Scheme, etc then so be it.

Now on a brighter note I NEED YOUR HELP in the picking up of delegates from the airport on Friday 3rd and Sat 4th March, then dropping them back to the airport on Sunday 5th. Could you please look at the schedule of flight times below and let me know what times would suit you personally to help out the Club. Contact me on at canterbury@vcc.org.nz, or thrower.rod@gmail.com, Phone 03 3382320 or 021 126 3529.

Friday 3rd March:

Between 10.30am and 11am, 4 Delegates 2 cars transport to Bealey Quarter Motel.

Between 5pm and 5.30pm 4 Delegates 2 cars

At 6.30pm 1 Delegate 1 car

At 8.20pm 1 Delegate 1 car

Saturday 4th March:

Between 7.55am and 8.15am, 9 Delegates 4 cars transport to Cutler Park McLean’s Island.

Sunday 5th March:

DEPART Cutler Park 2pm, 1 Delegate 1 car to Airport from Cutler Park 3pm 2 Delegates 1 car

4pm 6 Delegates 3 cars

4.30pm 2 Delegates 1 car 5pm 5 Delegates 2 cars 7.15pm 1 Delegate 1 car

Those who volunteer for Friday pick up from the airport might like to arrange with these people to transport from the Bealey Motel to Cutler park Saturday Morning by 9.15am. Well that’s it for now. There may be one or two more closer to the time but if you can let me know what times would suit you I can try and arrange this. Also if there are any volunteers who can help make up the team in the Kitchen at Cutler Park on Saturday just serving Morning tea/ Lunch/ Afternoon tea and Dinner all food prepared ready to serve.

Sunday Breakfast/ Morning Tea/ Lunch.

I do have some names for these and will be in touch closer to the time to confirm.

PLEASE CONTACT ME as soon as possible.

Kindest Regards Rod (Secretary)
