Get the newsletter quickly and in colour. Send me an email at the address below and I will send a copy to you each month by email.

If you have email please put it on our mailing list as it is an excellent way of providing updates and information during the month between newsletters.

So the options are: 1. Receive Email newsletter but no printed version (saves the club printing costs) 2. Receive Email newsletter and printed version 3. Just be on our email list for updates. I use a list that hides the emails so yours will not be visible to other recipients.

Swap Meet 2017 Firstly a huge thank you to our team. Who worked fantastically in front and behind the scenes.

I Decided to change the way we set up the event.

So we had a girly area and of course the main event the boys area.

We booked up so had to pop in an extra row. We had the local steam truck and 50 + vintage vehicles from the Christchurch VCC. Kathleen, myself, Gilbert and Jim organised a run/lunch from our swapmeet.

There was so many Vintage vehicles and people. I’m happy to say the day was a huge success both weather wise and we managed a surplus of over $2650 rounded after expenses.

A huge thank you to our sponsors, Mill motors, the Soc retreat and discount from Brackens and the Oamaru mail which kept our costs down. Also the Lions club who supplied great food.

Lynette Newell.
