Chairperson report

April was certainly a very short month, for me it was as I was lucky enough to have to extra long weekends. At Easter I flew up to Palmerston North to spend time with my sister and her family and then this weekend I was given the Monday off work before Anzac Day create another long weekend. Now I have to wait till June to have a long weekend. Oh, the joys/struggles of working full time.

It was great to get the MG out for our Gold Run, a beautiful sunny morning perfect day for motoring in my MG with the hood down, though once we got up past Duntroon the wind was very strong and I was soon reaching for my warm jacket to put on. I was certainly enjoying the views as I was driving along until just before Kurow my phone went. My parents called to say they had broken down so I did a quick U turn and back down the road I went till I found them on the side of the road just north of Duntroon. Unfortunately, that was the end of the run for me as we then had to go back to Oamaru to get the car and Trailer so we could bring home the Chrysler. Good thing we had a picnic with us and was still able to enjoy a Sunday picnic just on the side of the road not beside the lake as planned. I’m sure those who made it all the way up the Valley and along the lake would of enjoyed the views and the Autumn colours.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank Lee Brehaut for her hard work over the last year and a bit in the role of Secretary. Thank you for all your help and support you have given to myself and the committee over this time. You will be missed as Secretary. Enjoy your 3 months holiday in Australia with Derek, we look forward to hear your stories once you are back.

A reminder our AGM is on 11th June 2023 at 1.30 pm. This year we are needing a new Chairman and a new Secretary. Plus we also have Vice Chairman and Club Captain vacant as well. It would be great if we could have a full committee again for the coming year. If you would like to discuss any of these roles then please do give me a call or speak to any of the current committee members.

Happy Motoring

Rebecca
