Greetings All,
Since our last note there has been lots of action as plans for our up-coming Christmas functions have got underway. Sixty-four members have signed up to attend our glittering dinner dance, and many enjoyed the special coffee run to the Harris’s, with thanks to Sharyn and Fred. And more, there is the Christmas BBQ at St Leonards on Sunday 15 December. So much to enjoy!
Since we last spoke, Jules & I have spent a very enjoyable 10 days driving around the West-Central wilderness areas of Tassie. We packed light and took the Crossfire: a good workout, and she performed well.
We called on Tina and Gus in the beautiful village of Westbury. They were very busy preparing for Tina’s 70th birthday party.
I also visited the National Motoring Museum in Launceston: magic!
Wishing you all the very best as we move into this exciting but busy time of year.
John

Happy birthday Tina! Tina & Gus took a break from the birthday preparations for this photo.

Vice President Barb presented Bev & Syd Clifton, Barb & Colin Chappell, and John Smith with special badges to recognise 50 years of membership of the WDHVC at the November meeting. Each spoke briefly about their memories of their time at the club, including Colin’s tale about using his Studebaker’s hubcaps to pan for gold at an early rally to Stieglitz. (They didn’t find any gold.)
