Chairperson Report

Normally at this time of the year I would be telling you about how its June and I am ready to go on the Irishman Rally. Sadly, this year I will spend the time at home as the wee Chrysler tourer broke down on her last outing in April. Though it is always nice to have a long weekend at home.

This month is our AGM on Sunday 11th June 1.30 pm at our clubrooms, please make sure you put this date in your calendar and come along. Nominations for Committee will close on Wednesday 7th June, so if you are thinking about standing for a position on the committee then make sure you send your nomination in before this date.

As we our holding our AGM this month then we will not be having a club night. Recently I received an email with an update on the proposed changes to the National Management Structure for the Vintage Car Club. The update summarised all the feedback from the branches at Executive meeting and then asked for feedback on the 3 options for the Management committee. Based on the feedback from our members in March and more recently from the committee we have decided that we would support the structure of 12 members on the National Management committee. This is the option that was strongly supported by our branch at our club night in March when these options were discussed. If anybody would like to have a read of the email with the feedback and options for Management committee then, please get in touch with me.

On Saturday 10th June we will have members of the Ashburton branch visit us while they are on Tour in Oamaru for the weekend. Please come up to the Clubrooms on Saturday at 3.30 pm for a coffee and a chat. The parts shed will be open.

As this is my final report as Chairperson for our branch, I would like to say Thank You to everyone for your support during this time, especially those who have been on the committee with me. I have very much enjoyed my time as Chairperson and certainly have grown during my time. I look forward to remaining on the committee for the next year as Immediate Past Chairperson.

Happy Motoring
