Chairman’s Report
At the last general meeting, there was some discussion about “Why we don’t have some younger members in our branch”. While the word “vintage” lends itself to being old, it was felt that changing the Club’s name won’t really help to encourage younger people to join. It was generally thought that word of mouth was the best way and that, if any of our members knows somebody who they thought may be interested, then invite them along to a meeting or run (no obligation). If anyone notices a fresh face then, for heaven’s sake, don’t leave them on their own, there’s nothing more off-putting than not knowing anybody and then being ignored. The other thing is please don’t criticise anyone’s vehicle, it’s their pride and joy and I have heard of a couple of people who were offended by the comments made about their vehicle and they are now lost as potential members.
Also, at our last meeting, Ken Youngson let us know that he would be stepping back from carrying out the upgrades to the two remaining toilets. The refurbishment of these toilets does not require a permit because there are not going to be any changes to the layout. If there’s anyone out there who could help please let us know.
We all owe Ken Youngson and Ray Harvey a massive thank you for all the time and effort they put in. The planning, permits, and construction don’t just happen, they take time and effort, quite a bit of technical discussion and mutterings as well as quite a few laughs.

Club Captain’s Report
The month of January has been a very busy month, as I have been the organiser for the Archives for the Menzies College 55th Reunion. It was planned for2001(50years)but hadto becancelledbecause of Covid until February 2026.
On the 18th January I had the pleasure to run the A50 Cambridge on Keith Nunn’s Picnic Run. It was an excellent organised run, leaving Gore and meandering up through the Nine Mile passing Wendonside and finishing at Waikaia. Keith chose an excellent spot to have our picnic, under large oak trees in the grounds of the Bottle House. Over 20 cars met at the clubrooms for the afternoon rally, the best attendance so far in the 2025 / 2026 events calendar.
Asituation happened to me this month that I have never experienced before in my lifetime. As everybody knows, I love photography, so I had to get an image of the new Southerner travelling over the Gore Bridge. I checked the times that I thought it would pass Gore through to Invercargill and allowed an extra ½ hour. I waited, waited and waited for an hour, then went home. To my “horror” the next day on Facebook I found out that it passed through Gore 45 minutes early. I always thought trains ran late.
Please support Katy’s Festival Rally on Saturday 28th February. Katy & John work extremely hard to make our year’s “show piece” a great success. To achieve that success Gore Branch members need to enter.
A reminder that I am the coordinator for the 8th March Run. It is already organised and will be about 50 minutes to 1 hour long on all sealed roads. Members will need to pay $10 each for the afternoon tea.
Also on the same weekend, 7th & 8th March, the Hokonui Pioneer Village & Museum are celebrating 50 years. By the time this report is published the registrations will beclosedbut theremaybe achanceforyouto email Nancy at nancy.stronach@extra.co.nz to be included.

Jokes from Gerry Kennedy
My Grandfather told me he’d seen the Titanic and from the beginning he warned all the people that the ship would sink but nobody listened to him. He was a brave man; he did not give up.
He warned them again and again on several occasions until they kicked him out of the cinema.
My favourite teacher at school was Mrs Turtle. Sure is a weird name but she tortoise well.
A guy walks into a draper shop and asks for seven yards of Dunlop tartan.
The shop assistant says, “There’s no such thing as Dunlop tartan.”
“I want seven yards of Dunlop tartan”, he says.
The assistant went and got a bolt of tartan and cut off seven yards and the customer goes away happy.
The other assistant says, “That wasn’t Dunlop tartan, that was McIntyre tartan.”
“I know but Dunlop have been McIntyres for years.”

Welcome to another issue of The Wiper. The more perceptive of you may notice that there are a lot of eventnoticesandalsomorephotosthanusual.This is fortunate as, otherwise, you would be holding a rather “skinny” issue. As I have said many times before, it is up to you, the members and readers, to provide the stories and other contributions to fill the pages. With the number of events coming up, I am anticipating receiving lots of material over the next few weeks and months – don’t let me down!
Unfortunately,IamawayfortheFestivalRallyand the March Run, so I will be totally reliant on you all for reports and photos. I never mind receiving more than one story about an event, as each person’s experience is unique.
Abig “Thank you” this month to Ryder Cook for his story and photos of the Picnic Run, to Lindsay & Christine Stevens for their account of the January Tuesday Ramble to Riverton and to Des & Janet Brewster for the return of “What’s In My Shed?”. Additional photos have been supplied by Alan Ritchie and my wife, Donna, so they both get a big “Thank you” as well.
Happy reading – and don’t forget the branch’s Swapmeet on the 15th March!

In New Zealand History This Month
Scottish settlers arrive in Otago
23 March 1848
Otago celebrates the arrival of the immigrant ship John Wickliffe as the founding day of the province.
The vessel and its 97 passengers sailed from Gravesend, England, on 24 November 1847. Three days later, the Philip Laing left Greenock, Scotland, with 247 passengers. Both ships were carrying Scottish settlers bound for New Zealand.
The John Wickliffe lies at anchor as the Philip Laing arrives at Port Chalmers, 1848 (Alexander Turnbull Library, 1/2-003216-G)
A Scottish settlement in New Zealand had first been mooted in 1842. Scottish architect and politician George Rennie, concerned at English dominance over the first New Zealand Company settlements, hoped to establish ‘a new Edinburgh’ in the southern hemisphere. Dunedin – the Gaelic form of Edinburgh – became a feasible project once the New Zealand Company purchased the large Otago block from Ngāi Tahu in 1844. Divisions within the Church of Scotland transformed Rennie’s original plan.
Unhappy with patronage and state control, 400 clergy and about one-third of laypeople quit the established church. Some of these dissenters, including Thomas Burns, William Cargill, and John McGlashan, saw Otago as a home for a new ‘Free Church’. Two-thirds of the original Otago settlers were Free Church Presbyterians.
As per the new club constitution, we are now looking for a member to take on the position of Lower South Island Representative effective from the 2026 AGM in Palmerston North. This will be for an initial term of 3 years. The branches covered by the Lower South are: Otago, South Otago, Central Otago, Gore and Southland.
Could you please discuss within your branch to see if there is anyone willing to take up this very important position which includes representing the branches in your area on the National Committee ensuring that your voices are heard and branch vote counted as required.
The position description for this role was emailed to branches by the National Support Office last year.
If someone is interested, can you please ask them to contact me so I can go through the requirements of the role in more depth.
Kind regards, Mark Wilkinson

January 2026 Picnic Run
The day dawned with a bright blue sky and sun out in force with an occasional cloud. Or as my dad put it, the day dawned with a sky the colour of mouldy cheese. Dad packed the car so there was no surprise that the car was lightly packed. We were off to the clubrooms in no time though. Once everyone had socialized (including the cars of course) Keith decided to start the briefing, we were told where we were going and that two people would be going a shorter route, much to the dismay of no one.
Some of the cars at the Clubrooms
First car was away at 11:05 am, shortly after the briefing, The drive through Gore was good with minimal traffic obstructing it (typical Sunday morning). After a relatively small jaunt through the countryside, we rejoined the main road heading out to Mandeville, passing the train out on display. Turning off just before you exit Mandeville, following the main road, we were once again in the countryside enjoying the sun in all of its brightness.
After a good long-ish cruise through the countryside and disobeying an incorrect instruction which lead to gravel (sadly two people obeyed the faulty instruction so a moment of silence please) we arrived at Freshford and rejoined the main road to Waikaia. The estimated travel time was 1 hour and 15 minutes which was pretty accurate. After arriving, we parked up and enjoyed our lunch under the hot and bright sun which the cars enjoyed resting in.

Tuesday Ramble, 27th January 2026
ThefirstTuesdayRambleoftheyearhadtheRamblersheadingforRiverton. Twenty-eight of us met at the Riverton RSAfor a social catch-up and a meal ofbluecod, coleslawand chips.Thekitchenstaffhadthemeals to us in good time. After the meal David North, organiser for the day, thanked the RSA staff and cooks for opening especially for us. After another half-an-hour or so of fixing the world’s problems we headed off to the Riverton Coastguard boat sheds.
Once everyone arrived, the President of Riverton Coastguard, Ross McKenzie, introduced himself and gave us an interesting talk on the Riverton Coastguard. Ross has about 20 years’ experience with Riverton Coastguard. They are the 2nd oldest Coastguard in the country and one of the most respected due to the sea and weather conditions they encounter during rescues.
Riverton Lifeguard was born in 1958 after two 13-year-old boys took a dinghy out into the bay and lost their lives. The first boat was a 17ft clinkerbuilt one. In 1979 they joined the Coastguard. There are now 17 wet crew and four trained skippers. Normally four crew go out on rescues.
We first went into the older of the two boat sheds that they moved into in 1984. This now houses their PPE gear, grab bags and the jet ski and once housed the 6m NAiAD open boat, “Foveaux Rescue”, and later the 8.5m NAiAD open boat, “Russell John Chisholm”. The “Russell John Chisholm” was donated by the Chisholm family and friends and commissioned in 1999. The Chisholm family was in a Cessna plane that crash-landed in Foveaux Strait in 1998. The plane had 10 people on board, five being Chisholm family members. Five people survived, but from the Chisholm family 7year-old Russell passed away while waiting for rescuers and they had to let him go. His body was never located.
Five years ago, Riverton Coastguard started looking at upgrading the boat. They came to an agreement on what boat would best suit their needs and found they would need a larger shed. It took over 2½ years of struggles with red tape before building got underway. Once the shed was under construction they placed the order for the new boat. Their pride and joy, a 10m NAiAD Watchtower, was launched inAugust 2025. The boat was built by Gough Bros in Invercargill and at the time of launching was the first of its kind with the wider body in New Zealand. It is powered by twin 350hp 4.3LYamaha outboards and capable of 50knots (92kph). The boat has state of the art Ray Marine electronics which feature autopilot search patterns, thermal imaging camera and night vision capability. The cost, including the new tractor, was $1.7m. The four specialised seats have shock absorbers.
They alone cost $20,000 each. Two thirds of the funding came from the community, more assistance from Fiordland Lobster and once again the Chisholm family came onboard as well.

We had the opportunity to board the boat and have a look around which several of us did. Having the tractor to launch and retrieve the boat gives them other options where they launch from.
At the end of the visit David thanked Ross for giving his time to give us a very informed insight to the workings of the Riverton Coastguard. David presented Ross with a donation from the Ramblers that he collected from us at lunch earlier that day.
From there the Ramblers headed off after an enjoyable lunch and a very interesting visit at Riverton Coastguard.This Rambler called at my old place of work and placed an order for a pail of mutton birds this coming season. The day couldn’t have been better.

What’s In My Shed?
My “Ninger”
by Des Brewster
It was 1975 and I was getting to and from work, lunchtimes included, on a push-bike, enduring all weathers. Traffic over the bridge was occasionally a bit hairy too. It was decided to purchase a small power cycle, so the search began.Ifoundasuitableoneatalocaldealer,aSuzukiAC50of1972vintage with 1900 “miles” on the clock, it, and a helmet were duly purchased.
The wee machine did the job well for a few years, until one day when it gave a jolt and lost power, but it got me home. On inspecting the cause, it was found to have broken a piston ring, damaging the ring lands and scoring the bore. Hmm that's unfortunate! I checked the rod, finding excessive sideways movement. I stripped down the engine and found a flat spot in the crankpin. Parts were arranged and came with a learning curve for me on small 2-stroke engine / gearbox disassembly. I had to press out the crankpin, replace said pin, align the two halves of the crankshaft, assemble the main unit and go on to repair the damaged bore.
A +0.5mm piston was purchased and the damaged cylinder was rebored on thelargebaroftheSunnenHone. Iassembledandrefittedtheunit,andwe’re off to work again.
Fourteen years later, in the winter of 1989, I was getting tired of (non-) waterproofs, travelling to or fro with a wet bum and being cold. The wee machine was parked up and a medium English saloon was purchased. Much more comfy.
Thirty-four years later, in 2023, after much grumbling by someone very important to me about space in the garage being taken up, I decided to reactivate the bike. Good old Mr Google managed to find a battery and a 5rib tyre locally. The rear wheel radial shock absorber was in many parts and enquiries at a local outlet had me absorbing a bit of shock (how can it be too old?) back to Google and voila! Quite a few sources with them available at varying prices as the same part was in use well into the late 1980s. $5 and a bit of freight later the new part arrives. Brakes checked and reassembled.
Figuring out the few problems with wiring was very difficult for my brain but I found a diagram online to compare it to the actual wiring.After many
unkind thoughts and words regarding the parentage of the wee machine, I gave in and found a knowledgeable local man who had some experience and access to information and the problem was overcome. Jacky Ricketts did a lovely job of recovering the seat. I cleaned up the frame, with a “Dulux overhaul”.
On the rear guard rust spots were coming through the chrome, I etch primed and painted them silver. Repaired the throttle cable; removed and cleaned out the carb, refit and set the throttle and oil pump cables, took out the front wheel and hub; cleaned up the rim and removed the tyre. Oh dear! It wasn't quite as good as it looked, so on the chase for a new 225x17. “Oh, there will be heaps of them around - yeah right”. I tried some local outlets; one found some at around $90.00 + GST & freight. On the way home I stopped off at a friendly competitor and got the usual reply. But wait! I'll look out the back, and he returns carrying a 250x17 would this do? Yes! It's only an eighth of an inch too wide on each side. That made my day, and for $20 it was mine and fitted.
First test run: got one K down the road and ran out of go, I pushed it home. I clean the fuel filter.
Second test run. Put Janet on notice for retrieval duties, one K and stop. At short notice Janet hitches the trailer and rescues me.
I take the flywheel off, dress the points and reset. Remove the fuel tank, look inside, fill with rust killer and soak for a few days. Put some sharp stones in and shake all about and wash out using a large bottle brush, dry out and refit.
Third test run: Janet retrieved me from beside the NPD garage. Off with the carb, strip it down to find the float was jamming, so I fix that too.
Fourth test run: Janet follows me with the trailer but thankfully it’s not needed – Success!
It’s registered, warranted andready forsummertimefun. Janet says that after this supposed summer of fun, seeing as how it's still taking up room in the garage, that maybe it could be sold now.

Editor’s note: apparently, “Ninger” refers to the distinctive noise (ning, ning, ning) that it makes when it’s going – but you all probably knew that!
On this day 1927, J.G.Parry-Thomas died attempting to break the Land Speed Record.
John Godfrey Parry-Thomas was born in Wrexham inApril 1884, the son of a vicar. From an early age he was fascinated with engineering. By 1908 he had designed an infinite ratio electrical transmission, now viewed to be 70 years ahead of its time, which was used in London buses and railcars. ParryThomas was also much in demand on government advisory boards during WWI and later became the chief Engineer at Leyland Motors. He designed the Leyland Eight luxury motor car, owners of which included the Maharajah of Patiala and Michael Collins the Irish revolutionary leader.
Thomas then decided to become a professional racing driver. By 1925 he had switched his attention to the Land Speed Record, which the following year he broke, driving his car "Babs" at 170mph on Pendine Sands. However, his great rival Malcolm Campbell soon regained it, so on 3rd March 1927Thomas arrivedbackin Pendine,unwell with flu,andattempted to re-take the record. During the attempt, the car skidded, rolled over, slid along the beach and burst into flames.
Thomas was killed and Babs was buried in the beach. In 1969 Babs was recovered and restored by Owen Wyn-Owen, an engineering lecturer from Bangor Technical College, and is now on display at the Pendine Museum of Speed.

I heard of a member that this happened to years back.
Afte a few beers after work, he went to the Gore pie cart for a feed.
While there, he sees the goods train at the railway station. Knowing it passed through East Gore where he lived, he jumped on and held onto the hand rail. By the time it had reached East Gore it was going too fast so he stayed on until the train stopped in Clinton. After sleeping in the goods shed overnight, he hitched a ride home the next morning.
