The Kaipara Vintage Machinery Club members are celebrating their 15th birthday and are taking this opportunity to reflect on the milestones over the years and the people who have helped them get to where they are.
Seven artists from the Dargaville Art Association and White Rock Gallery, Paparoa, have joined forces to hold an exhibition at the Mangawhai Artists Gallery. The West Coast Collaboration presents the various styles and mediums displaying what the artists are achieving.

Club founder, patron and current public relations officer, Bruce Galloway placed the first expressions of interest advertisement in the local paper in May 2001. On August 30 that year, he and five other machinery enthusiasts held their first meeting and the Kaipara Vintage Machinery Club was born. “We started the club to preserve some older machinery for the next generation,” Mr Galloway said. The museum site at Harding Park was prepared during 2002 and 2003. The woolshed was the first building to be placed on the site along with the workshop and the smoko room. “We drew up a plan and stuck to it and have accomplished what we set out to do.” The work was funded by a few very generous locals along with a grant from the ASB community trust which enabled them to build stage one and two of the project. In 2011 mayor Neil Tiller opened the

premises which were named the L and N Andrew auditorium to recognise these donors. Stage three saw another 20x30metre shed which was completed in 2015 and funded through a second ASB community trust grant. “I am frequently asked by other clubs around the country how we did it so quickly. I tell them it is the dedication and commitment of our past and present club members and the community along with the grants that helped make this happen,” Mr Galloway said. They have more than 100 present members with some as far away as England, America and Australia. Mr Galloway says the club is always looking for new members and will be increasing their educational role in the future whilst continuing their partnership with the local high school’s gateway programme. ¢
