Chairman’s Report This is just a short newsletter as the man in the red suit is just about to call on us again. Bob, our Club Captain and weather guru has organised many an outing for us all over the year with many more to come, and for our two wheeled members, Trevor and Glenn have ensured there was always a monthly ride to somewhere interesting or just to get members together. Thank you to you all for this fine work! Things will be quiet over the Christmas and New Year period as the complex will be closed, the last day for your cuppa and a scone will be Wednesday 21st Dec, then re-opening on Wednesday the 4th January 2017. Our New Years party will be on Saturday 31st as part of our Noggin and Natter, based on previous years, this will be fun for all, please don’t forget. It was a very sad day when I received letter from our kitchen custodians, Viv and Les Broughton. These two prominent members turned things around in the kitchen and have made us a venue renown though-out Marlborough community groups, as one with cabaret jokes, meals to fit the occasion and all served with a smile. I wish you both all the best in the future and many a happy venture in your caravan. It would be nice to see you back now and again for a cuppa and a scone to regale us with your latest tales. The is the final newsletter for the year, our next newsletter will be in February 2017 and we have entered all upcoming events in the this issue but I will keep you up to date with announcements on Wednesdays when they resume on the 4th. Most importantly remember our biggest day of the year is Heritage Day on the 6th Feb - our newsletter may not come out in time for more information on this event. If you have any questions closer to the time feel free to ring me (573 4142) or Bob (572 8380). This is the last report for the year so Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all, from myself and our hard working committee. VINTAGE MOTORING, Lyall 4
Club Captain’s Report It has been an interesting month, starting with a visit to the Hospice (for the members not me personally), then the Port Underwood trip was changed to Ward Beach due to the weather. That was the day before the earthquake and it was so lucky it didn't happen while we were there or we might well still be stuck there eating Paua and crayfish! The next day we had a flood out here just to add to the excitement. Christmas dinner at The Clubs was a relaxed affair with good company, good food, and not a lot of speeches. The Noggin and Natter followed the same lines, but with no speeches! For the start of the Kenepuru Hopewell trip we had rain but by the time we got to the Heads it had stopped because it was blowing too hard to land. On to Hopewell after lunch where their weather was fine, calm and sunny. Home the next day in similar weather. Following a slight hiccup the Museum now has an abundance of custodians, thanks to Bill Nicholas. Thanks guys. We have planned a kitchen meeting for 13th December at 1pm at the Clubrooms for all the ladies who work or would like to help out in the kitchen. We would appreciate your ideas and input as to its future use. The more, the better, so please come along. Bob O’Malley Club Captain

PATRONS MESSAGE It is six months since I was given the honour of being made your branch patron, six months to work out just what the position entails. According to one dictionary the Patron has a titular position which means he is an office holder with no authority, sort of like Prince Phillip without having the same remuneration, status or grumpy attitude. A Patron should be available to give advice, encouragement, congratulations and at this time of the year extend Merry Christmas and happy New Year tidings to his fellow members. However this year wishing merry Christmas and happy new to any of our branch members who live, own property, have close family members or are reliant for their income on business, farming etc. interest in Kaikoura or anywhere along our east coast seems a bit ambitious. Following the events that occurred in November some of our members are digging deep into their fortitude reserves to even think about Christmas and New Year without considering being happy and merry about it. However it would be remiss of those of us who were least affected not to express to those members most affected our hopes that over the next month you will get the opportunity to enjoy some aspects of the festive season. We are thinking of you, so to all members, best wishes for the festive season and good luck resolving all this year’s issues in 2017.

Snippets from “The Listening Post� An interesting month where Viv and Les decided to move on literally; in their caravan and this has meant stepping back from their roles on the committee. Our hunt to replace them proved the strength of the Marlborough Branch membership who have rallied to the fore and although the roles in the kitchen have yet to be clarified we have had an amazing response to our call for custodians. There is no denying that Viv & Les both carried out their duties with passion over recent times and we thank them for their fine efforts and wish them well in their new adventures. We now have TEN! Yes - 10! Museum Custodians and in Feb we should be in a position to announce how the kitchen will be managed, currently we think by consensus of those already working in there may be the way forward. If you have an opinion or any ideas on this please come to our meeting on Dec 13th 1pm at the clubrooms when this will be up for discussion. There will be no committee meeting in January 2017 and the Vintage Viewpoint will not be published until AFTER Heritage Day on the 6th. Contact Lyall, myself or Bob if you need any information on Heritage Day which will follow the same or similar layout as previous years, we would love to see you all there. The November Nog & Natter was well attended and the pot Luck dinner was great, everyone was well fed and the evening was topped off with some memorable deserts. Nelson Branch Nelson are holding their Swap Meet on the 18 February 2017. Details in Magazine. Christmas May the peace and blessings of Christmas be yours; And may the coming year be filled with happiness Tony Smith Secretary

From the Blokes in the Shed….. Blimey! I can’t leave the blokes to look after the shed for a couple of weeks and all hell breaks loose. Nasty earthquakes had stuff all over the floors and then to top it all off heavy rain and flooding in the province, lets hope things settle down for a while eh! Rose and I went south with the caravan for sort of a break. Wind, rain, cold, you name it, we copped it. But in between we worked on Roses 03 Oldsmobile in Canterbury. It’s coming along and starting to look good. We carried on to Oamaru to their Swap Meet. A really poo day. Before breakfast we had a look at the 8 or so sites that were setting up, went back to the caravan for a cuppa, then back over about 10am and all but two sites were gone. So all in all a bit of a “claytons”. We moved on to Cromwell for the Hoedown Country Music Festival, Dinah was there also in her motor home. A great experience over all, met some interesting folks. Trip home was a challenge towing the caravan over 9 hours through munted Lewis Pass route. An interesting trip. Back to the shed, the new one is now all go, lining going on, shelves cleaned etc, not long now we’ll start putting goodies in it. The big shelves in our main shed all moved in the quake and are a bit munted, but volunteers have come to the fore and are bracing things up a little more. Thanks men. The same happened in the electrical shed, what an avalanche, of starters and generators. Tigers philosophical about it all. A food opportunity to get shot of “past it stuff”. Anyway all is OK, now one was damaged so onward and upward. I almost forgot, it’s December. Strewth. Where did that one go. A sincere thank you to the team for all your efforts over the last 12 months it’s been great, lots of camaraderie and laughter. I wouldn’t miss Wednesday morning for the world. Festive cheer to you all. The last Wednesday this year is the 21st December, with the Blokes back in the Shed on Wednesday 11th January. Cheers The Major

Kitchen Monitors We wish to thank Dulcie Mant-Old, Joan Vercoe and Lorraine Pyne for their unrelenting support; making scones on Wednesday mornings and also the many other ladies that have helped us from time-to-time. Thank-you Stumpy (our right hand man) who has always been available, it has been very much appreciated. To those too-many-to mention individually that have helped, cleaning up after the Noggin'n & Natters, Car Rallies and Functions, thank-you so much. And to those that have spoken up and supported us during our time on the committee I do hope you put your names forward for official roles because the Branch needs good volunteers, that is what makes a successful branch; members All working together. Viv and Les

The Photos on this, the last and next pages were taken at Ward beach the day before the earthquake by Tony Smith. He mentioned “there was a guy with a drone taking photos of our contingent and he was going to send them to me, but I guess with the Earthquake a few hours later he may have had other things on his mind� hopefully these will turn up sometime in the future.

The reef at Ward beach above then, and below, post quake 24 hours later! The land lifted 1.8mtrs out of the water moving so fast that fish were stranded above the tide line. Many of the paua and cray’s have either returned by themselves or were helped back to the sea by volunteers.

I hope this jokes does not offend anyone - I took it in the good humor it was told to me in and thought there were many of you who would also enjoy it, Merry Christmas ! Chris de Wagt Having arrived at the Gates of Heaven, an Ayatollah meets a man with a beard. 'Are you Mohammed?' he asks. 'No, my son, I am St. Peter; Mohammed is higher up.' St Peter points to a ladder that rises up into the clouds. Delighted that Mohammed should be higher than St. Peter, the Ayatollah climbs the ladder in great strides, climbs up through the clouds and comes into a room where he meets another bearded man. He asks again, 'Are you Mohammed?' 'Why no,' he answers, 'I am Moses; Mohammed is higher still.' Exhausted but with a heart full of joy, the Ayatollah goes to the ladder and climbs higher still. Eventually he discovers a larger room where he meets an angelic looking man with a beard. Full of hope, he asks again, 'Are you Mohammed?' 'No, I am Jesus, the Christ; you will find Mohammed higher up.' The Ayatollah was exceedingly joyful. Mohammed higher than Jesus! He can hardly contain his delight at this news. And so the Ayatollah goes back to the ladder and climbs ever higher. Once again, he reaches a large room, one that is even larger than those he'd seen before. This time, he meets a magnificent looking man who sports a silver white beard. Once again (this time totally out of breath, and gasping for air), he repeats his question: 'Are you Mohammed?' 'No, my son, I am Almighty God, the Alpha and the Omega. But you look exhausted. Would you like a cup of coffee?' The Ayatollah says: 'Yes please!' God looks behind him, claps his hands and yells out: 'Yo, Mohammed, two coffees!'

Motorcycle notes A subtle change has been made in the National M/C Rally organising committee. Peter Steggle has stepped aside from the secretary position to a committee slot to allow his wife Janet who has considerable secretarial experience to take over the secretary role. We welcome Janet as a new branch member and thank her for taking on what is a major and important position. Some of our M/C section members learnt from the Christchurch and Seddon earthquakes and fastened their M/C’s to the floor with eye bolts and tie downs. Some of us did not learn or were slow to act and the recent quakes tipped our machines over. I have been informed by the ladies at the AA who have knowledge of insurance that some insurance companies have a clause in their small print declining liability for damage to M/C’s which are not anchored securely. Several advertisers in this newsletter sell the items needed to do the job, better think about it.

Motorcycle News NOVEMBER RUN
The weather held out (just) so we finally managed to get to Canvastown after two abortive attempts, kudos to David who rode the Bantam all the way and Ross who took the vintage AJS. Ed and Julie arrived in the car and Damien brought the VW over the hill, considering it was a crappy looking day and not on our usual Sunday we still had a good turnout of bikes. So; nothing much happened, nobody broke down or did anything silly everyone went home happy. Then the shit hit the fan, the Zundapp set a 50cc world speed record as it shot across the garage and buried its nose into the bench 4 metres away from the 98 Thunderbird which fell on the 87 Honda which fell on, well you get the picture. Thunder guts laid its self-down, Mindy’s bike did the same and no doubt others have sustained damage also. Hopefully nothing that can’t be fixed. On a funnier note one of the first jobs I was called out too Monday morning was to an ex-motorcyclist I had worked for before, on asking him had he sustained any damage? (other than the water we were standing in) he replied; remember the glass cabinet with the china in it at the top of the stairs? Yes I did! Only because it contained his Czech grand prix trophy from his time with Herron Suzuki, with my first thoughts of it now being a pile of crystal pieces he laughed and said it was that solid it had bounced around the cabinet busy crushing his wife’s more delicate crystal. Best wishes for the festive season to all branch members from myself, Paula and family,

Funnies for the little one’s at Christmas… What does Santa say at the start of a race? ….. “Ready, set, Ho! Ho! Ho!” What do snowmen like to do on the weekend? …. Chill out. What’s the difference between Santa’s reindeer and a knight? …… One slays the dragon, and the other’s draggin’ the sleigh. And for the bigger kids… (see what happens when I have to fill up a page at 11pm!) Funny how the year you stop believing in Santa is roughly the year you start getting socks and clothes for Christmas. Lisa thanks her grandpa, "Thank you Grandpa for the violin you gave me last year for Christmas. I've never got such a brilliant gift!" "Really?" asks the surprised Grandpa. Lisa says, "Oh yeah - every time I start playing, mom gives me 2 dollars so I would stop!" One turkey asks another, "Do you believe in life after Christmas?" How do we know Santa is a man? No woman with an ounce of dignity would wear the same outfit for so many years running. And lastly; A boy is running around his yard in early December, chanting, “I SO WISH I GOT A NEW BIKE FOR CHRISTMAS!” An elderly man watches him go on for a while, then comes over and says, “Son, what is this about, Santa ain’t deaf, you know?” The little boy, out of breath, smiles, “He probably isn’t, but my auntie Jane is.”
