CLUB CAPTAIN’S REPORT

The AGM is over for another 12 months and you guys and gals are stuck with me as Club Captain for another year. As Club Captain I do not intend to organise every event but I am there to assist and promote branch events.

As a branch we are doing less competitive and more social and cruising runs. These are either destination runs to somewhere interesting or different, or a scenic run to cover new and interesting areas. In my opinion all runs must include at least one cup of coffee.

There are some interesting events coming up. On the 2nd of July the Venturers group is having a run to end up in Waiuku at the premises of Knight and Dickey. They have a very interesting collection of vehicles; entry is $10 P.P all members are welcome in any vehicle. On the 30th of July the Motorcycle group are visiting a very large collection of Motorcycles. As this is a winter run car pooling is encouraged, so once again all members are invited to come along in their cars.

In August the VCC is again holding a National Promotion Day and again will be linked to the Cancer Society of NZ. So, the National Day is the 20th of August with two aims; firstly to promote the Vintage Car Club of NZ and the Branches; secondly to raise funds for the Cancer Society of NZ. This year will be a similar format to last year. There will be five hub rallies starting from, Hamilton, Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Morrinsville and Matamata. Each rally will finish at the club rooms for our open day. The cost is $10 per car. All one make clubs have been invited and all vehicles are welcome. So, make sure you tell your friends, family, and work mates. At the open day all the club facilities will be open. Food will be available and a coffee cart will be there. So, let’s all get behind this promotional day and help the Cancer Society.

If you have a run you would like to organise or have an idea for a run, please contact me or any Committee Member.

Keep Left and Keep Smiling.

A plea from your Secretary Heather

If you buy, sell or change a vehicle please let me know for the Waikato Club Register. When I get asked if any one has a particular make, model and year of vehicle I can search and find it. Unless I know, I am unable to keep it updated. Let me know if you no longer have a land line, changed your physical address, have a mobile or changed email address - please this is important for the branch membership and also VCCNZ.
