CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

Greetings as we head to the mid-year Xmas season, maybe a few mulled wines to celebrate the occasion would be in order.

Thank you to all those who came along to the Waikato VCC AGM recently. Most of the Committee were seeking re-election, which was duly ratified at the AGM. We welcome Aaron Kearney back to the committee this time as Editor, Graham Pate as Club Captain and Bob Hayton (general committee). Thank you to Greg Terrill and Peter Taylor who did not seek re-election. Your input was hugely welcomed.

Our Double 50 was a great day, starting with breakfast and then a trip thru some of the prettiest countryside New Zealand has to offer. The weather was an absolute picture, cool, sunny but clear. A huge “Thank you” must go to those who helped make this event the success it was. For results and a report please see later in this edition of the Venture.

In August we will again be hosting the VCC Open Day and Daffodil Day. Every family has been impacted by Cancer at some time. This run and display will be our chance to showcase our Club and to give the Waikato Cancer Society a substantial donation from the Car fraternity for use in our community . I urge you all to get involved with one of the “Hub Runs” to our clubrooms in Cambridge. Please check out the flyer in this issue of the Venture.

Our Custodian Les has been trying to stay on top of any maintenance issues. Three new WC suites have been fitted in the Ladies Toilets. The toilet walls are to be painted soon which will give these facilities a face lift. Thanks to Les and his willing helpers mainly on a Thursday who continue to progress our Clubrooms.

Well that’s my lot, it is winter, time to hibernate maybe. Hope to see you at an event soon, meanwhile keep warm and dry.

Till next time, be safe and keep left. Bozy
