Chairperson Report

Daylight saving, the time of year when we put our clocks forward an hour to be able to enjoy longer evenings over the summer. Though I do enjoy the benefits of daylight saving it certainly takes a week for the body to get used to it.

In preparation for a summer full of motoring in my MG, I took it to the garage for a WOF. Well, the sad news is it didn’t pass. Hopefully the repairs are not as scary as they look on a piece of paper and the MG will be back on the road before Teapot Rally at the end of this month. Fingers crossed

I enjoyed over the last few weeks planning the Opening Run, it had been a while since I have helped with planning a route so certainly was a bit rusty at it. I was very lucky to have 2 experts who came along to check the route with me, My Dad, and my dog Mr Darcy. I will say one expert was more helpful than the other, Thank You Dad. The other expert was more concerned about not missing out on a ride in the car.

We have a busy month ahead of us with a visit to a gun collection planned for our club night, a mid-week run, an end of month run for the motor bikes, plus we have our annual Teapot rally with Waimate Branch. Full details on these events can be found on the following pages. Make sure you put the dates in your diary and come along.

Happy Motoring Rebecca

Secretary’s Corner – October Hi Everyone

New Members

A very warm welcome to Ivan and Pauline Jeffs with their Ford and Zephyr, Ted Rendell who purchased a Rover from Jimmy Boaden before he shifted to Waimate. And James and son Elliot MacKenzie who as a family have a 1952 Morris Minor, a 1960s Triumph Herald, a 1982 Mitubishi Sigma, and a 1989 Hyundai Stellar Prima. It is very encouraging to see these more recent vehicles join the club. And even better, new younger members.

Transfer

We also have Grant Ward in the process of transferring from Central Otago branch. Welcome Grant.

Hot Rodders Visit

In lieu of not having a Club Captain Report, I thought you would like to know that we were approached at late notice by the Hot Rodders Club next door to see if we would like to open up our clubrooms the following day. The club nationally was running a Bluff to Kaitia run, calling in on their clubs along the way. Gilbert was available to open up and received many visitors. While expecting the participants to visit the precinct, instead, many came up to Stoke Street and access to extra toilets was a bonus. Gilbert was happy to receive many positive comments about our clubrooms. Lark and Stoke Streets filled with Hot Rod vehicles would have been a pretty impressive sight. Thanks Gilbert for being available at short notice. A good opportunity to promote ourselves and support our car club neighbours.

New library acquisition

In view of a budget passed at the AGM to purchase books for the library, a copy of the 60 Years of History of the Otago Branch was purchased at the VCC stand at the 2022 Dunedin Autospectacular. Personally signed by the author no less! It is now available for members to enjoy. I am sure there will be a number of familiar names and events mentioned where our members have participated. Remember to sign it out in the Library Book Loan Record book or just enjoy a flick through in the library.

Daffodil Rally

Our Report to Kaaren Smylie, VCC North Island Club Captain, and Organiser of Daffodil Rally

Total funds raised yesterday by North Otago were $678. We had 43 cars on the run and a wonderful display of vehicles (one for each class) at the clubrooms, where the run ended. I am sure the display of vehicles encouraged many to stop in for a sausage and a drink and have a look at the cars and our upgraded clubrooms. We are feeling very happy with our hard work both in funds raised and promotion of the club.

Kaaren’s reply

“That is a tremendous result Lee, well done to you and the Team”. Cheers

Kaaren Smylie

September’s Run

It was a lovely spring day for the run to Duntroon for the approx. 30 people who took part. Several different routes were chosen, and we decided to go via Pukeuri. Spring was certainly in the air with the calves and lambs in the paddocks, and the golden strings of daffodils along roadside fence lines.

On arrival at the Duntroon Hotel, we were followed by about 8 vintage cars - a Pontiac, 3 motor bikes, a little yellow truck, a Hillman Imp, a Mustang, a Wolseley 25, a Capri, a Triumph, and several others. The Schaffer Rover refused to start on the day, so we had to resort to the Honda! Afternoon tea was enjoyed by all, and thanks to the staff for providing lovely cakes and muffins for us.

Many thanks also to John Gale for again arranging a great outing, very much enjoyed by all.

Christine Schaffer

Month End Motorcycle Run

Wednesday 26th October

50 Vintage Years North Otago Branch History

THAT WORD ‘VINTAGE’ By Margaret O’Brien

The year was 1960, we had built and moved into our new home at Deborah. Our first son was a year old and the family car a posh 1937 Chevrolet. John was managing the new Wrecking Coy, and I began to notice guys standing around admiring these heaps of junk. Then a new word appeared in the mealtime conversation ‘Vintage Car’. An advertisement was put in the paper, and two of the first to answer were Rex and Keith Murray. The Club was formed, and for the next twelve years the monthly was THE night out for the men. Tea had to be on time, and NOTHING stopped the attendance at these Natter & Noggins. We took off to Geraldine with Alf Graham to buy the 1923 Rugby. I could not believe it would ever go when I saw it. So, John became the proud owner of the namesake of his favourite sport. Bill Mitchell bought the Hup from John which had been owned by the late Merv Maynard.

The first outing was at Kenny McLeod’s paddock at Deborah and I still could not understand why they were all going nutty about these rusty old vehicles that had to have a crank to make them go. Temporary Club Rooms were established down the end of Caledonian Road in Caen Street. Here in a farmer’s paddock, they had a shed, and many a hilarious meeting was held by the light of kerosene lamps. Security made this location unsuitable for parts storage though. John was the first Treasurer, and I will never forget the help given by Wilson Spite’s father when he audited the books. I was still using the advice he gave me twenty years later when I did my Small Business Diploma. It was also a pleasure to help Rex Murray, whose thorough research, combined with his quiet efficiency in delegating responsibility, resulted in many successful North Otago Rallies. I could not go in the car in the first Windsor Rally as our second son was only a few weeks old. By now the Rugby had a gleaming new coat of paint, but no hood. I can remember John having to hold the leather up on the other side of the treadle sewing machine as I stitched the upholstery. What a marvellous reception they all got from the huge crowd that lined the Main Street from the Post Office to Weston. At later Windsor Rallies the catering of the Ladies Institute became a legend, something that visitors from other towns returned year after year for. (Oh those Pavs), while the money they earned went to help some very good causes in the district.

The North Otago socials also became famous because of their friendly atmosphere and not knowing what entertainment they were going to get (or provide themselves) next. Kaye and John Adamson have said they will always be grateful that we made them get up and learn to dance at these evenings. The Mid-year socials in the supper room of the Totara Hall always proved popular, with the committee spending all Saturday afternoon decorating the hall and getting wood in for the big fire, and once again a scrumptious supper.

The club staged the very successful Pennzoil Rally at the Racecourse. This was a very busy weekend, with a large display and field events, dinner and dance at night and a picnic next day at Elderslea Park. Bill Mitchell and Keith Cayford were kept flat out back and forth to town, like old time bandits in the Dodge Coupe, to get more change from the Licensing Trust to cope with the huge crowd that came to watch. That was also the year of the Oamaru Centennial, and the Flappers Dress of the 1920’s I made for the parade through town was ideal to cover up the third child I was expecting. A photo of our two eldest boys sitting in the back of the car in the procession headed ‘Two well behaved children’ is something I am looking forward to showing my grandchildren. During the time John was Secretary I sent in a report to the ‘Beaded Wheels’ –and got a quick reply back that they did not have whiskers on them yet!

Two delightful gentlemen with manners that matched the period of the time their cars were born were Archie Johnston and Doug Pedlow, the latter owning the first Veteran car in the club.

One of the best club trials I remember was mapped out by Cecil Parker. The instructions of every second sheet took the cars the opposite way at one of the turns, and had everybody scratching their heads and reading their notes over and over again. But no one complained in those days, it was all in the fun of the outing. Neil Williamson was another character who used to call often in his Dodge truck. If John was late for tea, he used to eat his sausages for him. Neil is now living in Australia and breeds Clydesdale horses. (They are the vintage ones).

Then it was time for John to have a turn at Club Captain, with weekends spent mapping trials and by now four boys to get into jackets and longs, with a pile of comics and jellybeans to keep them occupied in the back of the car. The Xmas picnics at Kuriheka were very exciting for our boys, the Murray families, the Mitchell and Graham girls. (Guess who was Santa with that deep slow speaking voice?) The gatherings at our place after these runs had the house bursting at the seams. Stanley’s crib was also to become a favourite picnic outing each year.

Now the Rugby had a hood, so we were all away for a trip to Naseby. How Alf Graham managed to put a Rooster in my bed without waking the boys I will never know. The site of Wattie Malcolm lying in the back of the Vintage Hearse from the Museum, holding a naked lady (flower) looked just the part. By now the second generation of children were being born and on a trip to Hakataramea guess who left the baby’s dinner and all the lunch sitting at home on the kitchen table. Keith vowed no one told him to put it in the car, but it was not so bad as we all took plenty to eat and the eldest Perry enjoyed his banana for lunch. A weekend at Omarama was quite an experience, with a horse coming into the bar for a drink to show that he could get as much attention as the vintage cars. Wilson Spite was helping out at Waitaki Boys, and when we asked a teacher if he had met him, his reply was “Is that the poor fellow who can only afford an old car to drive round in?”. About this time David Hill joined the club and became Secretary. Being a person who always does everything with enthusiasm, he takes a trailer on his HONEYMOON with Trish, to put VINTAGE parts on.

We had now shifted to town and John had his turn as President. He started his own Scrap Metal and Bottle Business and the word Vintage popped up again. Every time the trucks came in there were Vintage Car and Farm Machinery Enthusiasts, Old Bottle Collectors and Antique Dealers knocking at the door. How they could see a certain nut and bolt in the middle of a pile of scrap as it came through town I will never know. I spent a lot of time listening to descriptions of things that I did not have the faintest idea of what they were talking about.

Editor:- Interesting to read of a female perspective. Thanks Margaret. Note. Formatting has been changed to accommodate Distributor layout.

The ‘Season’ Begins!

A number of members have regularly joined the mid-month runs over the winter period and may feel little difference, however, it seems to be tradition that there is more activity over the warmer months – yes they are coming – and the words ‘Opening Season’ come to the fore.

Our Opening Season run, though held on a cold day, was a real pleasure, as we saw many stunning blossom trees, and lots of spring flowers and lambs not usually seen daily by us townies. An interesting twist was answering questions along the way. Some relating to places of interest on the route and some general knowledge questions. These kept us on our toes and were a great base for general discussion over a welcome cuppa back at the clubrooms.

Thanks Rebecca for organising a very enjoyable opening to our ‘Season’.

Adventures of a West Coast Rally

Our Wolseley 6/90 joined other Wolseleys on the Wolseley Club’s National Rally to the West Coast. With 15 others and two moderns, the group of 30 people was a good size as we meandered over West Coast roads and visited many interesting sites.

Getting to Greymouth for us was an adventure in itself. We had pulled in to check out Otira Hotel and on leaving there, had to wait on a car to pass, heading in the same direction. It wasn’t too long before we realised we were following a very erratic driver who seemed to have little knowledge of the road rules, or of how to manoeuvre their car around corners, over bridges or along narrow roads. It wasn’t long before we witnessed the car almost hitting the side of a bridge, actually hitting the side of the next bridge, then somehow managing to drive into and out of a ditch, twice! and continue on. How it didn’t roll, end up on its roof or get hit by any oncoming traffic was a miracle. Also that it was still drivable. Fortunately the driver pulled into a picnic area where we and another of our Wolseleys were able to pull in also and provide some assistance. It was very frustrating to watch this driver taking many risks and for us not to be able to pass much earlier and pull it over or to reach the Police.

The driver was from California, showing his elderly parents and aunt and uncle some of NZ. I assume seatbelts saved injuries, but they must have had a hell of a fright and possibly been feeling very uncomfortable for a long time. We finally found enough reception to be able to notify the police and were asked to stay with the group till they arrived. Everyone was most respectful and the driver admitted he hadn’t done a very good job. He thought, as he was able to drive in Sydney and at home, he was capable of this trip. The car was a rental and we were not surprised several days later to hear the group had been seen on a bus!

Day Two of our Rally was a bus trip from Greymouth to Franz Joseph. Those of us in the back (over the wheels) were getting a fairly ‘choppy’ ride, drawing comments from the mechanics on board, but we pushed on. Franz showed us what West Coast rain looked like, but only for a brief period. On the way home we turned off to Okarito. While there, our driver called our rally organiser aside to advise that she thought she had a loose wheel but had checked the nuts and all were tight. Not happy though, she had called for a replacement bus. Once word got out we would be stopped for a reasonable amount of time and why, one of our group, a diesel mechanic of 50 years experience got down and dirty. With assistance from a local garage who bought jacks etc, Hugh was able to effect a temporary repair to a broken rear suspension and we continued on to Whataroa and changed to a School Bus.

Highlights of our tour were, fish’n chips on the beach at Hokitika to watch the sun go down, a visit to the Westland Industrial Heritage Park – an absolute must see if in the area, a tree top walk – a highlight for some!, visits to Blackball, Moana, Shantytown, Punakaiki, (more tracks than when we were last there), a run up the coast to Westport, a visit to the Pike Mine Disaster Memorial, and stops along the way to read interesting panels about each area. Reminding us of severe hardships endured in the past in the hunt for gold or mining of coal and forestry.

We had plenty of sun, warm temperatures, no major breakdowns, lots of food, drinks and laughter, and renewed friendships with others who enjoy being owners of Wolseley cars. The next national run will be in the North Island in 2024, from Whakatane to Gisborne. We’ll be there.

From the Buchanan Family

We wanted to thank you for having us at the beautifully refurbished club rooms for afternoon tea and presentation of Dad’s 50 year membership badge. It was a lovely day celebrating Dad with family and members of the club. We all have fond memories of Dad and his ‘old girl’ aka the vintage, especially Windsor rallies. We found a heap of Windsor rally badges in his shed so decided to put them in a frame with his 50 year badge.

Alon Mayhew Club Captain Southern Region presented the 50 year badge.

“The VCC is 75 years old and the reasons for joining are more varied now than in the beginning. Originally it was a bunch of university students wanting to hoon around in some old banger, go on weekend trips and compete against each other. Today it is a nationally recognised organisation that has some input into how the laws allow us to continue in our hobby and hoon around in our old bangers.

On the whole the desire of most members is around restoration and being able to use our vehicles. Some join because of friendship, which is their inspiration, others because the preservation of history is more important. Along the way there are other benefits like insurance deals, a popular world class magazine and, as mentioned before, the ability of the club to lobby government in areas like 12 month warrants, lighting endorsement for veterans.

Not everybody has the desire to be on a committee, so finds a spot that works for them and their abilities. Some have the ability to work with people and others have the mechanical knowledge to keep theirs and other members vehicles in good working order. So by their generosity, we all win.

Terry was in the latter category as I guess living in Naseby excluded him from holding a position on a committee. He made up for it in other ways. He was one of those people that everybody should have one of in their tool box.

It is a special thing to take something discarded by others and breath life back into it and put it back into daily use for all to enjoy. It is also a special thing to contribute your ability to a club for 50 years, and that is exactly what Terry has done.

Fifty years in any organisation is a magnificent achievement and to have done it with the VCC has benefited all of us. Terry and others have helped build our club and together with others we keep on building.

Last weekend our new office systems told us in real time that we had 16 new members join online from our National Day (Daffodil Rally for Cancer). At the push of a button we can know exactly who our members are and what vehicles they enjoy. This is all possible because it is built on what has happened in the past and all the hard work put in by people who have spent 50 years, along with those working towards that achievement.

Well done Terry. I take my hat off to you!”

Club night on the 7th of September was a very interesting visit to AcuCut in the North end trading estate, Matthew Melton started the business about 6 years ago in his father's garage, it started to do well, so he expanded both into a larger building and a very expensive computer-controlled CNC precision water cutting machine, although second hand it still set him back nearly half a million dollars, his faith in his work has paid off, AcuCut is now an established business, and now that we are out of the Pandemic it will do even better.

Garnet sand is fed into the water jet to create friction, the machine he showed us working has a water pressure of 45000psi it flows through a 2mm nozzle, there was a great selection of work that he had done on display.

Many of our club members have had parts made at AcuCut including me, for my Bedford.

Attached is a video link showing what a water cutter can do, for those of you who could not make it to AcuCut.

A great thank you to Matthew for giving up his time for us.
