From The Secretary
by Dennis Whimp A big welcome to new member Marty Green. Marty lives at Lake Okareka and is restoring a 1964 MGB roadster. The midweekers visited Marty’s garage to view the project. Thanks Marty for the invitation and your help at the Swap Meet. We look forward to your involvement with the branch. VCC National has a full time secretary who deals with all the day to day admin of the national organisation including membership applications. The previous admin person had been there 26 years and was extremely efficient. Her replacement did not work out so there may be delays in some items from National. Regardless, please advise National if you change your address, your email, your phone number, or vehicles you have sold/purchased. I will have the latest membership list at the next few meetings so you can peruse your listings and make corrections. I can then make a list to forward to national. The Athletic Club next door to our clubrooms have an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) at the entranceway to their rooms. It is available for anyone to use but must have a code to access it. To get the code, you need to ring 111 (St John’s) who will despatch an ambulance and supply the current access code. With the new ambulance station being just around the corner now, the response time should be pretty good, but good to know that the AED is there if needed. AEDs are portable life saving devices designed to treat people experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. A note for all you British car fans. The Jaguar Car Club is holding a Jaguar car show at Tauranga Racecourse, Greerton on October 16th starting at 10am. They expect a 100 cars from the 1935 SS1 to the latest examples.
