9-90s This time a little different. At the last moment on Wednesday I discovered I was Covid positive. What to do?. ..And that’s where a great team comes in. 7.30am on the phone .first Dave Dacombe, second Tony Becker and last but not least Annette Meikle, and what I believe the day and run went better than ever before. Even the weather cooperated. The report was written by Brian Read. “Again there was another good turnout for our recent monthly run with approximately 40 cars starting from The Peg Hotel. The weather was better than the forecast predicted a day or two earlier. The route took us up Tram Road to the Mandeville area passing through the large sports complex then through the extensive lifestyle living sub-division before the route took us to the business of Steve Allan Auto Refinishes on the outskirts of Rangiora. Steve welcomed us before allowing us to view his premises where there were many restorations being repaired. We were also able to view a very rare Ford Falcon being repainted in the bake oven with a waterborne paint system being applied. We then went onto the Loburn Domain for lunch. This was an ideal venue which incorporated four rugby fields plus tennis courts and sports facilities. The raffle was ably handled by the “boss of the day” Annette Meikle in John’s absence. Another well organized 9-90’s run, this time by Dave and Pam Dacombe.”
