CHAIRMAN’S REPORT// By Steve Donovan
Pam and I went to see the Play Threads of Life written and produced by John Cocking. (A third of the Audience was HBVCC Members). John is to be congratulated on an amazing portrait of a day in the life of some people who were in the 1931 Earthquake in Napier. It was a very accurate portal of their day and bought back many memories of my mother’s stories about the Earthquake. It is amazing how they coped in this tragedy. The main theme of this play was how people and events can change our lives. Which got me thinking of the late branch member Andy Stirling. He was a person who made you think about many things. Andy was a person who always expressed his opinion no matter if you agreed or not. He would make a comment then move on with life. He will be missed I am sure. Thanks to the members who have volunteered there time to help out at the forth coming swap meet. Thank you, your help is appreciated. To all Branch members if you have automotive goods to sell bring it along and others who may be looking for a bargain come and have a look. Don’t forget to spread the word that your event is on. I know Trevor has touched on this subject in his report.
May 2021
AGM is in June and many committee members are standing down after giving sterling service on the committee. I will not be standing for Chairman as I need to devote my time to Art Deco 2022 plus helping the Club Captain with a couple of other events. I do not need to go on about people putting themselves forward for election but we are like so many other clubs who struggle to find people with the commitment and time to serve. Steve Trott and I have had a meeting with Art Deco Trust Event Manager Greg Howie and planning has started for Winter Art Deco 2021. Broad out line will be a Show and Shine of invited cars on The Saturday and HBVCC will give car rides with money going to a nominated charity. Sunday will be a Car run of the usual format. The trust is putting on a bus trip to Steve Trott shed at Coruna Bay while the ladies have a programme organized for them at the Masonic. It good to see that Greg is putting a lot of effort in to this event so hopefully you will be able to show your support. That’s it for me this month. See you at the Swap Meet.
CLUB CAPTAIN// By Trevor Charman
Another month gone and another report to be written, which means that we only have one more club night in May and then the AGM on the 9th of June. I believe that several of the committee wish to stand down this year, myself, as Club Captain being one of them. We are looking for new blood to stand up, put their names forward or agree to accept nomination for any position. If you are prepared to help please talk to a committee member. The guest speaker for our April Club night was John Lees. John brought their 1930 Chandler Sedan out to the clubrooms in the afternoon so that we could have the car on display in the club rooms. John gave a most informative talk about the actual car, his family connection with a Chandler, the vehicles history and the full history if the Chandler company from the start to its fall, going from one of the largest producers to going bust, and being brought out by Hupmobile. Thank you John.
The committee is still looking for restorations completed this year that may qualify for the AGM restoration awards. You can contact my self or any committee member. SAFARI 2021 If you are interested in safari and have not registered, the information on Safari 2021 and the registration form is elsewhere in the mag. Remember that we only have until the 28 of June 2021 to confirm our motel bookings. Re Safari. Whanganui River cruises are not included in the Safari programme, due to sailing times, cost to charter, and not knowing how many entrants have done this already. Information will be in the rally packs, and I suggest if some wish to take a cruise that the Monday morning would be best time, 11.00am only for two hours, and then travel home or stay an extra night in Whanganui.
The club run was to Kelvin Taylor’s collection of cars and some most impressive sculptures. We raised $275 .00 for the Cystic Fibrosis Society Hawkes Bay, a great effort. See the report elsewhere in the mag written by Malcom and Lesley Blair, thanks to you both. Thanks also to Kelvin Taylor, Wayne Richards and Clair Fisher for putting the visit together. The shed visit was followed by a short run to the Puketapu domain for a picnic.

SUNDAY CLUB RUN// By Malcolm & Lesley Blair
What another beautiful Autumn day for the club run. We assembled at the club rooms at 10.15am. Not 100% sure on car numbers but I counted about 19 Vintage and 6 Modern. It was a great turnout. We got our instructions from Lyn & Trevor and off we went. A short run through Te Awa Estate. The run took us past the Summerset Retirement Village and one car which we won't name, decided to do a detour through the village and five other cars followed thinking that was the way the run was going. (Obviously not following their instructions ha-ha). The residents thought this was planned and came out to look at the cars. They were delighted to see them. From there over the Brookfield bridge around the roundabout into Links road then into Franklin road. There we visited Kelvin Taylor's amazing collection. Kelvin was out of the Bay for the weekend so Clare Fisher (Kelvins daughter) with Wayne Richards help gave a talk on May 2021
the collection of cars and models which were made up of car parts. It was a very interesting talk. There was an entry fee of $5 which went to Cystic Fibrosis Society Hawkes Bay. When we left there we travelled down Omarunui road to Puketapu Park. We all got ourselves sorted for a picnic lunch. Great park to finish the day socialising. It was a great place for a picnic. Either under the trees for shade or out in the sun. A couple of the BIG KIDS decided to try the Flying Fox. I declined. Thank you to Trevor & Lyn for organising the day.
HIGHLAND FLING 2021// By Esther Smith
» Esther Smith and Jean Chalmers with one of the pipers The call had gone out in 2019 that there was going to be an inaugural Highland Fling Rally in Taihape over Anzac Weekend 2020. This event was organised by the BOP branch with Alistair Jones and our delightful North island Club Captain Kaaren Symlie as the organisers. It was open to Veteran and Vintage vehicles only and limited to 100 entries. We duly put in our entry form but as you all know 2020 was cancelled, so when there was talk late last year of the event in 2021 we were in like a robber’s dog. As Taihape is not exactly a tourist centre accommodation was tight. However we managed to get a booking at one of the motels. This event was intended as a North Island version of the infamous South Island’s Irishman’s Rally. The contingent of “Flingers” from the HB Branch consisted of ourselves (1929 Chev), Wayne and Shona Richards (Model A), Allan and Sue Jones (Model A), Alastair and Jean Chalmers (1925 Sunbeam) plus some Auckland escapees Oliver and Nicole Midgley, Waitemata branch members who live just down the road from us in Puketapu (1927 Sunbeam). There were also entrants
from CHB . The plan for the Napier Group was to meet at 9am at Fernhill then to travel via the Saddle Road eventually. There were several reasons we choose this route instead of the Taihape Road the first been that the Kuripapango Bridge is currently undergoing repairs and it would close at 9am so we would have had to have left early enough to beat that deadline. The second reason was we got a better offer which enabled a much more civilised departure time, as fellow entrants Glyn and Cathy Clements who live in Kimbolton were good enough to invite us all for lunch. The Chev was duly packed ready for the adventure. It was carrying an injury as when we were away up the Coromandel in March one of the steel hood bows snapped, it was decided to wait until after this event as part of the hood material would have to be detached to get the new piece in. Meanwhile it had a temporary splint. The weather forecast for Taihape was dismal, so I kept asking Graham “are you sure we can still put the hood up if we need to”. I was assured we could. Rally headquarters was the Gretna Hotel in the heart of Taihape. Counting the rally support crew there were probably about 120 vehicles in town - probably the biggest event to come to Taihape for a while. The pub was a tad overwhelmed but they rose to the occasion and looked after us well. Saturday was a 7.30am start complete with Piper, it was amazing to see 100 Vintage/Veteran vehicles assembled and ready to go and what a day it was going to be. First there 11

was a sedate start over some gentle sealed and gravel roads to the early morning tea at the “Collie” club. It took me a while to register it was Collie as in collie dog. After morning tea we headed to the ‘interesting’ part. We turned off into the Kelly Land Company which is owned by the Plimmer family of Wellington (think Plimmer steps). After a couple of miles of a few ups and downs we got to the steep descent, we could see the cars wending their way down way below us. One of the entrants was in a 1922 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost with only rear wheel brakes. As we passed him he was persuading a couple of Model A’s to rope up behind him in a convoy to essentially act as his brakes. We think we heard him say” if it all goes pear shape I”ll take care of it” However it must have worked because they eventually arrived safely at the bottom. I have to add that there were about 25 South Island entrant’s including a few characters who were obviously seasoned Irishman’s entrants and whose vehicles had that ‘just pulled out from under the hedge’ look. One even came complete with tartan roof. They wore their kilts, tam o' shanter’s and had brought their bagpipes. These were the guys who assisted the Rolls Royce. Having got to the bottom we then realised the task ahead of us. There had been a lot of talk
about bringing chains if you have them, I thought that was a bit excessive but now the reason was obvious, there was a huge climb out. It had rained lightly and we were faced with a slippery grass track, a sharp turn about a third of the way up then a continuing steep grind to the top. The old hands put their chains on the theory been that they would cut the grass up making it easier for others to follow. It was certainly interesting watching from the bottom - lots of slipping, sliding and retreats. There were three tow vehicles and they were well used. By this time we were getting to the end of the queue, the drying wind had come up and it was suggested we would get up under our own steam. With some last minute instructions from the marshal’s we were off. It was fairly rutted and when rounding the hair pin bend, which was a mess by that stage, it was a matter of just keeping a little power on and keeping going. Finally we climbed to the top and we could look back and see the specks of the other waiting vehicles far below. It was a bit of a drive to the lunch stop at Pukeokahu Hall to a substantial lunch of venison, salads and baking put on by the local school. After the day we had had it really was appreciated.

given the days running instructions. We had a minutes silence then the piper played the Pipers Lament, a very moving event. I should say all this happened in the middle of the street; the few cars that were about just went around us. We were issued with some amended instructions they to cut out one part as just been too dangerous - after yesterday’s experience it must have been bad. We were soon heading up into the steep winding country lots of gravel roads and amazing vistas - we were just so high up After coming back to earth we had morning tea complete with Anzac biscuits at the very well appointed Mangaweka Asparagus Co. staff facilities; no need to go hiding behind the bushes. Then the next challenge a paper road to follow. We ventured in a km or so. It was well rutted and muddy but hey we had managed yesterday. We then came up behind a log jam of vehicles. The farmer came along on his quad and told us that there was one short but steep hill that we would not get up without chains. Commonsense reined and the majority found a place to turn around and take the alternative route. We were happily trundling along when there was a sound like a hub cap coming off, the right rear brake had decided to come apart - with all the corrugations it was no wonder, Graham wired it up and we continued back to base. Then when adding
another lot of number eight wire he also discovered that the manifold was shaking apart so that got tightened. That afternoon there was a gymkhana where some keen people put their vehicles under more pressure. An early T pick up with wooden spokes collapsed one wheel. Sunday evening was the final dinner the haggis was duly piped in and Robbies Burn’s Ode to the Haggis recited by the haggis bearer with an appropriately thick Scottish accent. It was a weekend to remember, quite a different event with a unique flavour, great company, great to see the cars out and very definitely been used. You would have to think carefully whether you would want to put your vehicles through the rigors of such a rally but the majority did fine or had only superficial war wounds. However Graham is now making a list of what he needs to fix. We had to make a hasty three legged (no RH rear brakes) trip home over the Taihape Road as Graham was going to get advice from a visiting retired Automotive glazier as to how to get the front windscreen into the 35 Snipe, something that had been attempted several times with no luck but that’s another story. Fortunately it was a public holiday so the bridge was open (despite numerous ‘Bridge Closed’ signs). 13

WEDNESDAY RUN// By Helen Ball
Derek organised a lovely country run looping from Puketitri Rd around to Dartmore Rd. The apple trees were laden and sadly there was also a lot of fruit rotting on the ground, a flow on sign of last years covid lockdown. The trees had not quite got into the Autumn colours but every now and then we got a splash of red or gold to remind us winter was only a few months away. The 11 cars participating pulled into Puketapu Park for the lunch stop, always a nice area to spend time having a munch and a natter.
In true Derek fashion there were three jokes at the bottom of the run sheet to amuse us. It was a short run but a most enjoyable one, many thanks Derek. “How does Moses make is tea?” “Hebrews it !”

We attached 2 photos of the Tyre Moulding machine & the motor meter, which are now displayed in the hall. We had some success with our sales last month, moving some Tyre’s & Jeep steering gear, we are going to put the trunk on Trade Me. So only 2 weeks to go till the big swap, so for getting ready for that, other than that there is not a lot to tell. Until next time Regards John Durry
