A great Tararua Trundle, I have been told that it has been one of the best runs in a long time. Twenty five vehicles and over 50 people turned out on a nice sunny day to meander down lanes that a few locals had never been down and a stop at a lovely cafe in Shannon for lunch as well. Instead of badges for the competitors that turned up we have decided to obtain certificates for the competitions that we are now doing and they will be sent out to all who have entered as soon as we receive them. Thank you to all who turned out and made it, yet again, another great success. You will no doubt be reading this with your Christmas meal, if you did not book it you will not be eating it. We booked for 55 people and I hope we got that many, a very slow start yet again and because the club heavily subsidises the meal we have had to give a number to the caterers that we had to make firm. It was the first 55 and that was it. I hope you all enjoyed it. John and I would like to wish all our members a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. We will be handing over the reins to new Club Captain/s at the next AGM in June. We already have next year’s runs provisionally complete so it should not be a problem for whoever takes over. Sunday, 11 February - British Car Day at Trentham - We will hope to have the gazebo there and also tea/coffee etc. Meet at Trentham (Upper Hutt). Sunday, 18 February - Shannon Car Show - Meet outside the club rooms at 8 am or drive straight to Shannon where John will be awaiting you. Sunday, 25 February - Mangahao Dams Shannon - Meet at 9 45 am outside the club rooms and travel in convoy to the power station - northern members, 1030 am at the power station. It will be a very interesting day with lots to see and do. Toilets provided, bring your lunch. Unsealed road to the dams. See information later in Spark. Saturday, 17 March - Swap Meet - DON'T FORGET IT’S THE SWAP MEET, get your names to Pete Collins so you can help. Safe driving folks.
