Past “Chairman’s Chat”

We have a new capable enthusiastic Chairman. Hip hip hooray!

The AGM raised some points to address, and the main one was, if we keep on doing what we’ve been doing, we’ll get what we’ve been getting. Thank you Henry Ford. Well, it’s official, Tauranga is the most traffic congested city in NZ, so we have to find ways of managing our activities to get around that so we can continue motoring. Unless we know how you want to go about spinning your wheels, we can’t plan anything. Full stop. We have looked at ways and means of obtaining this info. and will start with some brief direct questions next Club-Night. This’ll be interesting and provide needed insight.

Lastly, there is lots of socialising planned for the coming months to celebrate where we have come from and where we are going, and the way to ensure more of this is to support the organisers and it goes without saying that the new Chairman is looking forward to receiving the same support that I have received over the last year.

Kind regards, Alastair Jones
