WORKSHOP REPORT

Hi all - Have returned from our trip south of 2½ months, where we both (Lorraine included) did some volunteering work at the recent Wheels@Wanaka event which much to my surprise I received the best Pre War Truck Trophy for our Model T ‘C’ Cab truck as well as an award for best volunteer.

On my return I was very impressed to see in the workshop a wheel balancing and tyre removing machine. My special thanks must go out to Ian Patton who I believe through a connection managed to get these donated to the club. Thank you Ian. I would like to think these 2 machines will be a great asset to our club and will bring a lot of benefit to those members that wish to make use of them. At present we are sorting out room (running out of room – might have to extend…….) to put them as well as getting the air and power supply connected. Thank you also to Roy Rowe, for this work. I’m working on getting the cleaning bath and sand blaster up and running as there’s some parts off the Studebaker that need cleaning before painting.

I saw Les had his car on the hoist and also noted a Porsche (nothing serious I believe) was also on there on another occasion. It’s good to see its being used by various members, not just those regulars attending our Thursday get togethers.

Remember we have the Thursday opening hours from 9.30am to at least 2 -2.30pm and if anyone wishes to make use of the workshop in the weekend, give myself a call (0274 10 7772) or Graham Pate (021 280 1586)
