Vintage Report

Games 2 years ago. You will need to commit to the display until the close of the event at 4pm, but it will be a fun and interesting day as indeed it was 2 years ago, and the ticket price is discounted considerably for those who take part. All the details can be found on Page 40, along with the link to the entry form. This is a great opportunity to showcase our vehicles to a very large crowd of all ages. This year we are accepting entries from all Veteran and Vintage vehicles only. Best regards Colin Hey

VCC DAFFODIL RALLY FOR CANCER SUNDAY 21ST AUGUST

What a great turnout, nearly 100 cars at each venue and pleasant start weather wise. I started at New Brighton and was amazed at the variety of cars that turned up. The cars started rolling up at Cutler Park at about 11am and there was a constant steam of cars arriving for the next 2 ½ hours. The Rotary Club was kept busy and the coffee truck had a long queue. It took several circuits to see the cars, and to see the many picnics set up around the grounds. A big thankyou to all the helpers that made this day a great success. Graham Evans

Hi to you all Kerry Clements organised this day. We had 45 cars. We went to visit Air New Zealand and the No. 1 hangar. I have never been anywhere where we had so much attention. We got divided into groups of 8 people and given a tour of the hangar. We saw planes in the process of being overhauled, the sheet metal shop, the upholstery department; too much to remember it all. (One of our female participants commented to me “I didn't think I would like it. But I am blown away. I am so pleased I came today.)” A big thank you to Kerry Clements from everyone. It was fantastic. And the day was great. Sunshine much better than the forecast We had a good raffle ..and the entry fees are going to Nurse Maud $72.00. I renamed the slips of paper with the directions where to go Boarding passes but still some people managed to get in for free. I hope that they enjoyed it as much as the people who bought the boarding passes.
