Notes from the Chair : Greetings to all VCC members. Thanks to Beth Taylor, our Secretary, for yet again co-ordinating a newsletter to keep us all updated on what is happening with the Club. We had a meeting of the Committee last night where we were joined by Graham Hodder, a member from Featherston, who has volunteered to take on the job of Treasurer. I am very pleased to be handing over to him. WillieJames and I will be attending the National AGM in August on behalf of the Club. This is being held in Greymouth, not the easiest of places to get to! At that meeting we will be presenting our progress report on the National Motorcycle Rally that we are hosting in March 2021. The sub-committee to organise that is setting up now and about to swing into action. Our next ‘big’ thing is the Daffodil Rally on the 25th August. As this is a fund-raiser for the Cancer Society, we want as many folks to come as possible. We are also inviting other car clubs to join us. Please invite your friends to come and view the cars (and donate) or to join in if they have a special car. As last year, we will drive from Martinborough to Masterton, stopping in Greytown and Carterton to display the cars. This was my first contribution to the newsletter. If there is anything that you would like me to mention, or any matter that you would like me to take to the AGM, please don’t hesitate to give me a ring or drop me an email. Happy motoring, Tina We acknowledge the passing of Joy and Ivan Feast in the last month. Ivan and Joy had been members of our club since1989 and received their 25 year membership badges in 2014.
