Chairman’s Report
By Ian Elmsly
And another one bites the dust! July ended up quite busy with Winter Deco done and dusted. The weather gods looked favourably upon us with the rain holding off for the Show and Shine and Car Rides of which went very well with passers-by that where encouraged to have a car ride and contribute happily with a donation to Napier Community Patrol. A tremendous effort and a big thanks to Steve Donovan for his efforts in putting it together from start to finish. The Auto Ramble and High Tea on the Sunday were equally a success (sadly Kay & I were unable to make it) but overall reports indicated a good turnout and much enjoyment. So well done to you all. Going forward, we have the Mid-Winter Kitchen Night (this will have been and gone before you get the MAG) but I know it will be a success! Also note your calendars for the August Daffodil Day on the 22nd August. Organiser Trevor Charman will need a hand with some trusty volunteers so please get in touch and offer your services. So that is really it from me (not bad given we weren’t supposed to be here for most of the month –thanks Covid and the Aussie bubble open & shutting! But that seems to be life these days so let’s just get on with it. (Easy to say eh!!) All the best and happy motoring maybe a good time for the annual maintenance programme on the old car. You know, the one you do every year –right. But take this as a reminder and get the old girl running on all cylinders!!
