CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

I recently attended the National Executive meeting, representing Waikato. It was a good meeting with very little controversy. I have reported on this as a brief overview in a separate note in this magazine.

The Ladies Rally was held on Sunday with only 9 cars taking part. It seems an awful lot of work for poor attendance. In spite of this a great day was had by all who participated.

I would like to see a great Waikato turn out for the Mooloo Meander (motor cycle rally) and our Double Fifty on the 10th June. These events are well supported by nearby Branches but not as well by our own Waikato members. Hopefully we can turn this around in 2023. So, when the entry forms come out, fill it in and prepare your ride for a great day.

Our Parts Shed boys continue to gain stocks of donated parts and accessories. Our parts shed has long been the first stop for our members and other Clubs who visit. Thanks guys, for your dedication to the Parts Shed.

Our recent Club night focused on a probably little known topic of Archives. Thanks Kathryn for taking us through what you do in preserving our history. Most of the members present learned a thing or two as Kathryn took us on a bit of nostalgia cruise. I for one, wondered what was housed in the large grey draw cabinets in the Library.

In recent weeks your Committee has been working on the new Events Calendar for the year August 2023-July 2024. This will contain some changes as a result of feedback sought and given. Our focus has been on keeping it simple for all Members to participate. So as I have already said, MAKE IT HAPPEN. See you all at an event in the near future.

Till next time, be safe and keep left. Bozy
