Presidents Report
Hello everyone from lockdown. We were sorry to hear of the death of former member Ursla
Peters and because of covid couldn’t attend the funeral. Also our thoughts are with Jim & Narrelle ,
Jim is in Sydney hospital with burns. Narrelle said he is recovering and they hope he’ll be
transferred closer to home soon. Also thinking of John Plant who has been getting regular
treatments in Wagga
We won’t be holding the September meeting but are hopeful for October, I will text
(contact) everyone if it is to be cancelled.
Stay safe and well
Lesley.

Last night, I was dreaming I was swimming in an ocean of orange soda . But it was just a Fanta sea.
When life gives you melons , you’re dyslexic.
The furniture store kept ringing me to come back, but all I wanted was one night stand.

CLUB RUNS/MEETINGS: Please don’t forget when going on a run you need proof of the run/event,
so have the magazine with you or access to a digital form. FYI – If you decide to deviate from a route this
will need to be logged and recorded as required by the RMS.
If your run is NOT gazetted in the Crank Handle (on conditional registration scheme HVS ) you must contact
the holder of the day book and give them a record of your intended travels.
(On the log book system) you must record your days use in your log book prior to any departure (only 1
entry per day is required) . Failure to comply can result in an embarrassing and expensive situation .
Happy & Safe Motoring, STEVEN (Ed).

We all hope VP Jim a speedy recovery from the skin grafts and Narelle her sanity through
the days to come. Both have now returned home to Gundagai .
John Plant has had many trips for consultations and we hope there will be a good outcome.
It was sad to hear the passing of one of our elder members Ursula Peters. Who passed
away on Tuesday August 10 at her home. A member who had the clubs interest at
heart and quite enjoyed reading the magazine to see what we had been up to . Sadly
with Covid we were sending our condolences from the club to her daughter.
Bob Nicholls has had a burn incident (welding) and we hope it is ok and all the best
with a speedy recovery.
Wishing all members not feeling 100% ,that your health improves as the weather
warms , restrictions ease and we get back to a (new ) normality - Cheers

General maintenance is not considered a good enough reason to be out driving .
Update with Rego day – At this stage it will go ahead as planned with covid restrictions adhered to on the
