April Twilight Run
by Dennis Whimp
With the Lynmore/Owhata area undergoing a number of changes over the past few years, Dennis and Terry F. decided to show the area off. It was surprising how many crew members of the 16 cars said afterwards that they hadn’t been around those areas. There were lots of simple questions and hopefully simple instructions to keep the speeds down on very low trafficked urban roads which would allow for sightseeing. We even had the club cars approaching on the 4 legs of a roundabout all at the same time. That wasn’t meant to be. There must have been a bit of unintended sightseeing. Bill (not in the Austin 7 this time) with his granddaughter Christina plus Shona and Pat were the two crews who answered the most questions correctly with 15 out of 17. However they were not the winners as that was decided in the celebrity draw. The winners with the privilege of organising next year’s rally were Bob and Pat in the Triumph Vitesse. Second were Bill and Christina and third John and Jenny in the 1973 Triumph Stag. Fleur and helpers had as always prepared a delicious meal to feed the 45 in attendance. And further quizzes prepared by Dave had the grey matter in overdrive. A big thank you to Fleur and the helpers for the meal and the clean up afterwards.
Thought for the Month: Your Garden Circle Garden First plant five rows of peas: Presence, Promptness, Preparation, Pleasure and Participation. Next to these plant three rows of squash: Squash gossip, squash criticism, squash indifference. Then plant five rows of lettuce: Let us be loyal, let us be unselfish, let us be true to obligations, let us show love, let us obey rules. No garden is complete without turnips: Turn up to meetings, turn up with a smile, turn up with new ideas, turn up to make everything count for something good and worthwhile Side Curtains May 2022
