AGM WEEKEND 2021 The Club’s 75th AGM, organised by Canterbury Branch, was a great success. The weekend kicked off with about 50 cars enjoying a Special Anniversary Run and Shed Raid on friday afternoon. The route showcased some of our city’s earthquake recovery and history before heading through the tunnel to Lyttelton, where a collection of well-presented cars and motorcycles was admired. The productive Executive Meeting commenced on friday night and concluded on Saturday afternoon. The Annual General Meeting on Saturday morning
went well with lots of discussion. The AGM was opened by Life Member Norm Dewhurst who stepped in at the last minute when our original speaker came down with laryngitis. National President Diane Quarrie presented the John L Goddard Award to Kevin Casey and a Presidential Award to Ron Hasell. Diane also made a special presentation of a one-off 75 year badge to Life and Founding Member Andy Anderson to recognise his 75 years of involvement in the Club. Andy’s address to members was thought provoking and is reproduced in full on page 32. Members not on the Executive enjoyed a bus tour on Saturday afternoon. The
enjoyable Saturday evening function had a black and white theme and was supported by many Canterbury and Banks Peninsula members. MC for the evening was Royce Baker who kept things moving along. On Sunday there was a chance to show off the Canterbury Branch clubrooms with Old Bikes, Cars and Coffee followed by a barbecue. Teams on the barbecue and in the kitchen whipped up a feed for about 125 hungry mouths. However, the real event was the kitchen clean up… a water pipe burst on the dishwasher and spurted water over the whole kitchen! Not funny, but hilarious.
