WEDNESDAY RUN//
By Helen Ball

Juliette and Harley organised the November
mid week run which took us on a very short
run to the Eskdale School. One of the young
students, Jayden, has organised a show of
cars and motorbikes as a fund raiser for
their school camp and what a fantastic
display it was ranging from vintage and
classic cars to muscle cars, mustangs and
variety of very impressive motorbikes.
The children came down to the field in class
order, the new entrants first then the older
children.They had a great time sitting in the
cars, barely able to see over he dashboard
but having the time of their life tooting the
horn and pretending to drive. There were
plenty of questions, manly about the age
of the car or where it was built, and Harley
even won a spot prize for his Holden,
well done. The bigger prizes went to the
Mustang and the Chev Bel Air, as picked by
the young organiser and his helpers.
It has been some time since we last were
involved with the schools so this was an
opportunity not to miss. and here’s hoping
we can do more of this sort of thing,
especially with Deco on the horizon next
year.
A thoroughly enjoyable day and our thanks
to the Cadwallader’s.

SPARES NEWS//
By John Dury

Hi All
Over the last 3 weeks or so the team at
the spare parts have been reducing our
stock footprint and with a lot of tidying &
restacking we have found a lot more room
than we thought we had, so are needing
more stock to arrive, this is an ongoing job.
When we arrive on Tuesday mornings the
first thing we notice is our scrap bin, and
over time it slowly seems to go down, it
goes down more after an event which is
held nearby, we are certainly noticing the
drain. The club may need to consider doing
away with the scrap bin or invest in our
own bin which has a lockable top, this may
help our light fingered friends from helping
themselves.
Don’t forget that if you are cleaning out
your Grandads shed or garage think of us as
we may be able to help. We have been trying
to sell a few things on facebook but have
had no success so far on any of these items.
Don’t forget we have hubcaps, head caskets,
carbs, brake parts, shocks etc etc.
This months photo is some of our Tuesday
group having a well deserved cuppa, cake
& chat.
Until next month.

CLUB SPARE PARTS CORNER
For any enquiries phone Brian Taylor on 027 4436009 or contact the Club’s
Spares Dept. on Tuesday mornings between 9am & 11am on 06 835 1483.

Rotorua Vintage & Veteran Car Club Inc
                                   proudly present the
     9th Annual Rotorua
     Lakefront Car Show
         10am - 2pm, Sunday, 24th January 2021
                         ALL CARS, BIKES AND COMMERCIALS WELCOME!
                         The venue is the Rotorua Village Green at the Lake Front, off
                         Whakaue Street. This is an informal car show open to any
                         individuals or clubs to display their vehicles. Drivers will be
                         asked for a gold coin donation upon arrival. All monies raised
                         will be donated to St Johns Ambulance Rotorua.
                         Car clubs are welcome to display their vehicles in a group.
                         During the day drivers and their companions can enjoy
                         their own picnic lunch under the trees, or take advantage of
                         local eateries, including Rotorua’s “Eat Street” which is at the
                         southern end of the show area.
                         Rotorua’s famous markets will be in operation adjacent to the
                         Car Show, as well as other holiday attractions.

                         Over 450 vehicles were on display at last year’s show, and the
                         event has been very popular with locals and holiday makers
                         alike. Vehicles have ranged from early vintage to almost new.
                         For further information email info@rvvcc.org.nz or like our
                         Facebook page (Rotorua Vintage Car Club) for any updates.
                         We look forward to seeing you there!
