From The Editor’s Desk

Greetings Members and welcome to the May Rivet.

I thoroughly enjoyed last month’s Annual Vintage Motorcycle Rally, once again superbly organised by our branch stalwarts, Heather and Bill James. Take a bow you two. I am impressed with the camaraderie shown by the biking fraternity around the country. And how cool that an 88 year old entrant, Willie Wood, was the overall Rally winner! We only have a handful of bikers belonging to the VCC so hopefully those local bikers who are not members of our organisation, can be persuaded to join our ranks. Vitally important to have a strong biking contingent in our midst, just as it is to have other motoring enthusiasts join us. Why else do you think, members, that I have been harping on about making our VCC more appealing to those with classic vehicles? We need a variety of vehicles and younger members. I am very pleased indeed that we now have four Military Vehicle Club Members also join our movement with their marque. I am working on more of our small group to come along to the VCC. Secretary Frank has supplied me with a list of new members who have recently joined us which is fantastic. These will be published in next month’s Rivet.

Our Branch was well represented at last month’s Wanganui Road Rodders Park-up. We actually won the prize for the most represented car club. What was even more pleasing that one of our own won the Presidents Choice for the Best in Show. This went to the 1906 Reo owned by Ian Chamberlain. Congratulations Ian, you did us proud. The oldest car at the park-up of over 500 vehicles on display. All proceeds went to the Cancer Society. When I called up to Ian’s place to take the photo opposite, he was still smiling. Great publicity for the VCC with such a variety of our Club cars on display. I really enjoy these park ups where so many different classes of vehicles and clubs are represented. Next month is our Annual Rally and 70th anniversary of our Branch. So get to it people and send your registrations in. Entries close on the 17th of this month. Next Club Night is also the AGM. Please get your thinking caps on to nominate people to stand for committee and officers to lead us for the next 12 months. Why not put your own name in the ring? You may actually enjoy the experience of serving your Branch. While I have accepted my nomination to go forward for another year, please don’t let this stop you putting someone else up for Editor’s position. I really do enjoy my current role, but it would be healthy to have someone else with different points of view and style of writing. I have attempted to bring articles about members and their vehicles and topics to create debate, as well as the more mundane but necessary stuff like the club calendars, rallies, runs and the like. I would assist a new person into the Editor’s role, just as my predecessor, Pete Hardy assisted me. I guess that this goes for most positions on the committee. I would hate to see a completely new grouping, but great if we could have a gradual movement of personnel. Your call people. Still waiting for someone to give me a prompt as to who should next appear in ‘Behind the Garage Doors” section. Don’t be shy, give me a call. That’s all from me for another month. Yours in cruising, Editor Ian.

Chairman's Report — May 2024

We managed to attend last month’s run organised by Dale. It was great to motor into areas we had never been before and then be hosted by the Cleveland’s at their Funeral home. Apart from the excellent refreshments, the sound advice we all received on Wills, Powers of Attorney and the necessary pre-funeral and funeral arrangements, was a sober reminder of things we all need to consider and act on.

If you read the last Beaded Wheels magazine very carefully on page 50, you will be aware that an important change is proposed to our management committee make-up. This is to have six branch representative positions with these coming as one from each of six geographical areas around the country. Our area will be from New Plymouth across to Napier and down to Wellington. The representative will be in contact with each of the local branch representatives, in our case Neil, with regular zoom meetings. The concerns and proposals of branches can then conveyed to the management committee in a timely manner. The present system can take up to 12 months for any real action and is very unfair in it’s voting rights. The branch representative for the King Country with 22 members has the same voting power as the Canterbury member representing several thousand members.

I was fortunate enough to meet the Motorcycle Rally members as they came in for lunch in Marton. What a great bunch of people. We can be very proud of Bill, Heather and their team of helpers who organised and ran this great event. From what I understand they had enough dampness to keep the dust down and their enthusiasm was strongly evident. I hope to be riding a bike in the rally next year.

If you feel you might need a little encouragement on your current restoration project then go and have a look at the latest ”Shed” magazine. It has a very well written article on a young man in Auckland working on his dream car. The passion and enthusiasm he exhibits is contagious. I know we have people doing similar projects and I applaud them. Although I enjoy driving our precious vehicles, I absolutely love bringing them back to life again. Finally, to test you...the photo above was taken in the South Island. Anyone know where? Let the Editor know please.

Club Captains Report May 2024

Another month has whizzed by and club members have been as busy as ever. We’ve had a huge variety of events to suit all members over the last month. There’s been a choice of sitting sedately at a park-up talking nonsense to driving over gravel roads testing yourself and vehicles. Peter Rennet spoke to us at the April club night on the correct use of the defibrillator, (pictured below) a very interesting and necessary talk. The meeting was well attended and I’m sure everyone went home a lot more comfortable about using the defibrillator if required. I wonder if it works on Model A’s?

Linda and I helped out as marshals for the Annual Motorcycle Run, there was a lot of very nice motorbikes and friendly competitors. We were invited to a lovely lunch at the Marton Bowling club. Helping out at a rally gives you a different perspective on the event and can be as enjoyable as competing. Bill and Heather James did a wonderful job organizing the motorcycle rally. It is one of the highlights of our club calendar. Thank you very much Bill and Heather.

Dale’s Sunday run was well supported and a very interesting afternoon at Craig and Laura Cleveland’s. Hayley Lewis spoke about Enduring Powers of Attorney. Thank you Dale for organizing this run and also Peter Rennet to talk to us at the April meeting. Sunday the 28th was the annual River City Rodders Park-up, this event raised money for the cancer society and our club represented itself very well with 25 vehicles attending. I’ve been told we won a number of prizes including the Best Display.

About 20 people from Wanganui attended the Highland Fling in Fielding on the weekend of the 28th( pictured below. ) The event was held over Saturday and Sunday in perfect weather. The rally route was very testing going over gravel roads and through farms with obstacles like rivers and mud holes to navigate along the way. Derek Haycock and his family spent over a year planning the rally. They did a fantastic job of organizing the whole weekend.

Next month is looking just as busy with our Annual Rally. This is the 70th anniversary of the Wanganui Branch of the VCC. Please enter the rally as soon as you can and support this event. The rally dinner will be a celebration of the anniversary and Neil is working on a booklet to commemorate the occasion.

Please remember to come along and help at the Working Bee. Frank told us he’s organized a slap up morning tea.

That’s all from me for this month. Happy motoring, Rob

41st Annual Autumn Motorcycle Rally

The VCC 41st Annual Autumn Motorcycle Rally with 33 competitors left the VCC clubrooms at 9.30 am on Saturday morning on their motorbikes ranging from a 1937 Royal Enfield G to a 2021 Royal Enfield Interceptor. They travelled South via back roads which included three timed sections, and onto Marton, where they were treated to a delicious lunch provided by the ladies of the Marton Bowling Club. After lunch they travelled back to the clubrooms with an option of a short or longer route to give some extra riding time.

The prize giving dinner was held on Saturday evening at the Clubrooms. As usual Eilidh and her very able team of helpers, Siobhan, Sue, Dale and Ann produced a wonderful meal which was really appreciated by all. This was followed by some fun, frivolity and finally prize-giving.

On Sunday morning they gathered at the clubrooms prior to a visit to Moto 74 at Fordell before travelling home. There was a little rain along the way but despite this the weekend was very much enjoyed by all.

Our grateful thanks to all Marshalls, helpers and to Craig Ryland (tail end Charlie) without whom there would be no rally at all.

The overall winner was Willie Wood from New Plymouth. He is 88 years young and has attended many of our rallies on his beautiful 1955 Matchless G3LS 350cc. Heather James.

Ladies Coffee Club

Something a little different this month. A few months ago, Dale Whitaker, talked to committee about her desire to have two monthly Coffee Meets for the ladies in our Branch. Brilliant idea was the consensus of opinion. One rule though that Dale insisted upon. NO MEN ALLOWED. I have cheekily implied that I may dress up in drag and tie a ladies scarf around my old grey head and see if I could gain entry. Well, as this is a VCC Branch magazine, and having no desire to shock readers, I cannot repeat where Dale told me she would shove my disguise and Frances’s best scarf if I attempted to join in. Rather than cause a scene and to risk injury to myself, I meekly withdrew my intention to attend. Bloody coward!

Seriously though, I commend Dale and her team to get this venture off the ground, and from all reports coming back, this Ladies Coffee Meet is a roaring success. Brilliant. Here are some reports from some of the founding members of this select group. I have concentrated on those who have a Club vehicle on their own account and with no male accomplices. Girls only!

Editor Ian

My name is Dale Whitaker and in July this year I will have been a member for 21 years. Ed Boyd encouraged me to join. Cars have always been of interest to me while growing up. My father Gordon Clemoes, made sure I knew the basics of owning a vehicle (oil, water, tires etc had to buy my own tyres (thanks Mike Green @ $5 per week). He also made the 3 of us kids get our motorbike licenses. Dad's friends also were interested in cars, trucks and motorbikes. One of his friends, George Clark, was a Founding Member of VCC. I followed Dad around race car events and we always went to the Cemetery Circuit Motorbikes. My first car was a 1952 Hilman cost me $150. I loved it. It had an engine change in a shed in Balance Street belonging to Foley & Thompson (then it became Loaders, all Dad's friends). I always made sure that I was included where the "petrolheads" were! As friends will tell you that "Short Stuff" was never far from the petrol fumes. Work mates Ray Walsh and Keith Turner took me to race tracks and to pubs (under age). Employer, Adrian Barnes, took me out to drive his stockcar (not my thing).

My first Classic Car was a 1960 Morris Minor which I restored and painted yellow and got it a personalised plate "Noddyz" but I wasn't allowed to give it a black roof like the real Noddy Car! I finally sold it after 13 years (the rust kept coming back). I finally found a Ford Escort 1980 Mk11 1.3 with a 1.6 motor, in a Palmerston North carpark building ( on front cover). Would have preferred a Mk1 but they had all been thrashed and bashed and cost too much. I learnt to drive in a Ford Escort Mk1 (thanks Ivan Kendal). Last year I decided, since I had retired, to have a go on the Committee. During my time on the Committee I have encouraged the Lady Members of the Club to join a Coffee Group. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month at Columbus Coffee at Mitre 10. We usually have about 12 Ladies come along. NO men. We talk about everything under the sun. We had a potato growing competition, we support each other, we laugh lots. Maybe a pumpkin competition as well next season! I have noticed that when we go on runs, the girls no longer feel left out when the men go off to chat.

I am very proud of our Coffee Group and I really enjoy it. Dale Whitaker.

My name is Ann Berntsen. Husband Charlie and I joined the VCC in December 2004. Charlie owned several old cars since I met him in 1987. He had a Valiant Hemi, a Charger, then a 1937 Dodge, which he sold to Mike Johnson. He then found a 1926 Essex Coupe for sale in Wellington, so this was our first ’real’ purchase of a restored car. Then he decided it wasn't big enough. He spotted a 1930 Model A Tudor at Lee Taylor’s workshop which was for sale. So we sold the Essex to Ted Mathews and bought the Model A. Being a 2 door and as Charlie was a big guy, he could get in and out of the car easily enough, plus there was room for family and the dog. A couple of years later he went to a swap meet in Levin with only $200 in his pocket….

Ladies Coffee Club

BUT when I arrived home, I saw a pair of skinny wheels underneath the garage door peering at me! Charlie had managed to spend $5000 out of the $200 he had in his pocket on a 1926 Clyno which was running but that’s about all!

After Charlie died, I was left with the Model A which had something majorly wrong with the motor. Knowing Charlie, I suspect he may have over revved it. Anyway, I eventually sold the Clyno and that paid for the Model A motor to be fully reconditioned by Bill James. Bill’s wife Heather helped and I am so grateful to them both for the amazing job done. I needed lessons how to drive it, so Bill very patiently taught me. I can now drive my Model A. Thanks Bill and Heather, and all the club members who helped. Love the Coffee Club. Ann Berntsen.

My name is Sue Voss. I was introduced to the VCC the day my father sent Stephen and I to Sanson, some time in the 1970’s, to drive back home a Model A Tourer which had spent some years used off road as duck shooting transport. We sat on boxes, got home and found the distributor had melted on the block. Father wasn't happy! The car bug took hold of us all. Stephen, Ester and I all ended up with vintage cars. Mine was an ex Gerry Weeks 1936 Morris 8 Roadster. My current car is a 1978 Leyland Marina (right) Love the Coffee Club.

My name is Lee Turner. (Left) I have been a VCC member for nearly 26 years. I bought a Mk 11 Ford Escort four years ago. Found it on Trade Me in Stratford and Bill James checked it out. He still looks after it. I have owned several cars including six Morris Minors. Love the Coffee Club!

My name is Linda Kendrick. Granddaughter of Branch Patron Alan Bates. I started going to the VCC with my family in 1971. I joined when husband John passed away in 2006. I own a 1952 AJS 500 18S (right) which John and I rallied all over NZ. Love the Coffee Club.

Dale’s Sunday Run

Club Member Dale Whitaker very kindly organised our last Club Run. The route took 20 VCC cars and 35 members through Wanganui East and up to Bastia Hill. From here we drove up Durie Hill then made our way back down and along Anzac Parade, over Cobham Bridge and through city streets ending up at Cleveland’s Funeral Home. No, not to drop anyone off!

Hayley Lewis from local law firm, Treadwell Gordon, presented to us a most informative talk on Wills, Power of Attorney, Enduring Power of Attorney and the absolute necessity for us to ‘ get our affairs’ in order while we are still alive and well and not to leave it for family, and/or the courts, to finalise matters on our behalf. A timely reminder as many of us are in an older age group. Craig Cleveland explained the duties he and his wife Laura undertake when that time of departure occurs for us all. Many relevant questions from the floor were expertly answered by our hosts.

Laura and Craig generously provided a scrumptious afternoon tea for us Thanks you very much for a most enjoyable and informative afternoon and to Dale for organising. Editor Ian.
