Club Captain Report
Here we are again, in lock down with Club activities on hold until further notice. Most of you will have seen the reply I sent to VCC national office in regards to the Daffodil day. It was a shame to have to cancel but with the postponement likely to be rescheduled for late October/November it would have clashed with our usual run of events and our commitment to donate next years All British profits to our local Cancer society means they will not miss out.
For those of you who had volunteered to help with the show and shine, thanks again. Perhaps next year ’s event will proceed without disruption. The Teapot rally is our next event scheduled for 17th October. I am hopeful that we will be in a position to do this rally and use the event to show off our refurbished club rooms to our neighbours.
We already have a couple of stalls booked for the November swap meet and planning will ramp up next month for this and the Windsor rally. I am still looking for anyone willing to make up a small group to ensure the Windsor is planned efficiently. The committee has already agreed to look at booking the Five Forks Hall again this year which has been done. Getting access to some land again this year will have to wait until at least level 3.
Lastly, in recent years All British has finished at Totara estate, Duntroon camp and Elderslie Estate. Can you all throw some suggestions at me for a venue for next year. We do need some cover just in case the weather is bad but a large woolshed would provide that.

JOHN HARPER
Sadly, John died in England on 31st May 2021.
John joined North Otago Branch twice – the last time being in January 2020. He regularly attended the Parts Group on Monday mornings. John was a genuine ‘down to earth’ person whose vehicles had to be useable. He had sold a number of his vehicles before he returned to England last October.
John was English and each year he and his partner Wendy travelled to France and England.
Murray Frew remembers John as ‘Wendy’s Gopher ’, delivering furniture to be reupholstered. John used his ‘original’ Morris Minor Well – Side Ute for these deliveries.
