Socially Speaking for December

Due to the Covid restrictions, the Observation Run, was cancelled. This will be rescheduled for 2021.

But the end of year event (at this stage is still going ahead!) so bookings are required, no last-minute arrivals.

Sadly, this month we say goodbye to Graham Jones.  He was a fabulous person, so active, and loved his boating and his yellow GT6 Triumph.  We will miss his enthusiasm to attend the weekender, and his fabulous photos. We wish Gwen all our sympathies, and prayers at this incredibly difficult time.

Bill and I wish everyone a safe, and Happy Christmas, and keep well, and we hope to see you all at the after Christmas Run and Ice Cream run in January.

Upcoming Social Events:

Wed 30^th December –After Christmas run

Sat 23^rd January 2021 – Ice Cream Run

Stay safe and see you at upcoming events.

Thanks to Ian Rigby for organising the event. Loads of Chocolates were purchased, and the hot chocolate was fabulous.  Members then went onto various places in the Barossa to enjoy the beautiful sunshine.

Socially Speaking for October.

Sunday’s Strathalbyn event went well with 30 people in attendance.  Collectable Classic’s is always interesting, with lots of interesting cars to see. Thanks to Graham Simpson for hosting us there.

Most members then went onto Gilberts Motor Museum, which only opened in January. They have an amazing selection of cars, motor bikes, speedway vehicles, and of course the Glen Dix Library for visitors to see.  Members then went onto Lunch at various places in Strath to enjoy the beautiful sunshine.

Stay safe, and see you at upcoming events.

Bill and Margie.

Firstly, a huge thanks to Sue Gibson and Peggy Argent for their time as Social Secretary’s. They did a great job, and we have big shoes to fill!

Sadly, the Weekender planned for September has been cancelled due to the Covid 19 restrictions, but we will plan the 2021 Weekender to Pt Pirie and enjoy the adventures we had planned for this year.

SOCIAL SNAPSHOT

Peggy and I would like to say thank you to all those members who put their hand up and organised a social run, including mid week runs, over the time we have acted as Social Secretaries.   We now think it is time for some new blood with new ideas to step forward and take on the role of Social Secretary.    If you would like to take on the position please put your name forward to Ian Rigby prior to, or at, the AGM next month.

The social calendar has been set through to the end of the year and with the annual Ice Cream run in January and All British Day in February (provided these events can still take place due to Covid-19) there are no runs to set until March 2021.

Due to Covid-19 there will be no Day of Triumph or Presentation Dinner this year.

Margie and Bill have once again organised a 3 day/2 night weekender going to Port Pirie and surrounds on 18/19/20 September.   If you are intending to go would you please let Margie and Bill know as soon as possible so they can confirm numbers with the various venues and the motel.    The cost is $200 per member which includes a Club Subsidy.  Non members will pay $250.

The run on 23rd August will end up at Birdwood Motor Museum however we are not organising a group lunch anywhere it will be up to the individual to have lunch where they please.   Meet at Burnside Townhall Carpark at 10.00am.   For more information please contact Dean Berlemon.

We are sure your cars will enjoy a good run through the hills after languishing in the garage over the past few months.   Hope to see you there.

Cheers

Peggy-Sue
