Chairperson Report
Well just when you thought a lockdown was just a memory, we entered a new nation wide Level 4 Lockdown last week. We are still waiting to see how long this lockdown will last. For those that can I hope you are able to spend sometime on those projects you never get around to doing.
As I work for an Essential company I continue to work each day but instead of going into the office I just go to my desk at home aka the dining room table. Over the weekend I spent some time sewing some Face Masks on a vintage (1970’s) sewing machine.
As a result of the lockdown the committee made the decision to cancel our Daffodil day Show and Shine. We have decided that the funds raised from Next Years All British Day will be donated to Our local Cancer Society.
The Weekend before Lockdown I went to Christchurch to attend the National AGM and Executive meetings. Please see below my report for National AGM and Executive meeting. If you have any questions or would like to discuss anything further with me then please get in touch either by phone or email.
Stay Safe in your bubble

Executive and AGM Report
Hawkes Bay branch motion. The Hawkes Bay branch of the Vintage Car Club sent a motion to be consider and ratified by the Executive to make a change to the name of their branch.
The motion is “That we change our name from the Vintage Car Club of New Zealand Hawkes Bay Branch (Incorporated) to The Hawkes Bay Vintage and Classic Car Club (Incorporated)”
The executive decided after a lot of discussion about this proposed name change for the branch that a decision on this would not be made until the next executive meeting in March 2022.
Budget The executive agreed to pass the proposed National budget for 2022 – 2023.
Update on Changes at National Office
Murray Trounson gave the executive an update and progress on all the changes that he has been helping to make in regards to the admin/accounting system for National Office. These changes are certainly coming along very well, with many great benefits to efficiency in the processes.
From this year after the Annual subs are sent out to all members, if a member does not pay on time and becomes a Non-Financial Member then the reminders will be sent from National office to the member. Previously this information has been proved to each branch secretary to then remind any of their members.
Logo
The Management committee proposed to the executive that the vote on the logo be delayed until March 2022. The reasons they gave for this was based on a lot of feedback they had received from many branches about the proposed logo. It was felt from the feedback that the proposed logo was still not quite right, and a few design changes could be made to it and also many branches saying that they felt they did not have enough time to make the decision.
The management would also like to send a member of the management committee to attend a club night at each branch to give a presentation on the logo. This will be organised with us over the next few months.
The executive agreed to the vote on the logo being delayed until the next Executive Meeting in March 2022
Result of the vote to change constitution to allow on-line member application
This proposed remit was passed with 93% of the vote in favour of the change. This will allow in the future for Prospective members to have the choice of filling in the paper form or filling in and submitting the form online via the Clubs website.
