President’s Report Michael Cronin, VWCV President Hello one and all, and welcome to the Presidents Report for May, only a short report this month, so straight into what we have been up to. The Pre Concourse Dinner at Hunchbacks was enjoyed by all who attended, luckily we were not close to the stage and therefore not targeted for embarrassment. The Concourse was well attended with a good selection of cars to judge.
Where are all the split screen kombis coming from, there seems to be more each time we have an event?
By the time you receive your newsletter the Drag Racing at Heathcote will be over so more on that next month.
This will involve a leisurely cruise on the Saturday stopping at one of the wineries for lunch and staying overnight in the caravan park at Shepparton, so we can get an early start looking for bargains.
A big thank you to all those that helped with the organisation and cooking, there seemed to be plenty for everyone to eat and everyone had a good time. I would also like to thank Lloyd and John for sponsoring the event and organising the judging, a thankless task as you can’t satisfy everyone but I think on a whole the results were well received.
Don’t forget the weekend away to Echuca and Moama on the 23rd – 24th June, unfortunately I cant make it due to See you next month. work (I will be in the US, may be I’ll find a splitty at last). Also a reminder that we will be doing Christmas in July again so come along and meet Santa. To finish up, for all those who like swap meets I am planning a trip to the Shepparton Swap meet in September.
