Hi to everyone.
Yet again thanks to Steve for chairing the last meeting while myself and Barry with 5 others were basking in the sun on our motorbikes on tour on the west coast. Now its back to reality.
Thanks to Steve and helpers the club room sheds are going to get a new spouting and the club rooms a new window. Looking for helpers now to give a hand to remove and fit the new spouting. If you are able to help give Steve a ring. Remember the club rooms belong to all of us.
Last Tuesday 21st Feb VCC took 14 waimate Senior citizens up to the white horse. What a Great afternoon. Apart from some smoke from burn offs the view was stunning with a gentle warm NWwind . Kathlene the organizer for the senior citizens had made scones topped off with cream and jam and tea or coffee for all of us. Thanks Kathleen it was our pleasure to do something for the community. Thanks to Peter Bill Steve Ian
Owen Brett and myself for supplying cars.
Congratulations to Brett for taking on the club captains roll until the AGM. And thanks to Lynn for stepping up and taking on the roll. Unfortunately the club captains roll takes time that Lynn didn't have.
After 2 years with covid another successful Wallaby rally, 34 cars entered the run with the weather in our favour. I think everyone enjoyed the day with a relaxing lunch at the morven domain. Thank you to the organizer's of the run and the helpers of the club rooms before and after the run. Thank you to all who attended. Well that's all I have till next time.
Next Meeting 16th March 7.30pm
Cheers Owen.
