AUSTRALIA DAY 26th JANUARY
NELSON BAY
Roving Reporter: Debbie and Neville Maxwell
Roving Photographers: Natalie Towndrow and
Brian Johnston
We left Hexham Maccas on Australia Day and headed for Nelson Bay. With 31 cars we joined the Grand Parade
by the water front finishing at Fly Point. Frank and Don thought they were at Steamfest due to overheating
problems. Market Stalls and entertainment were held throughout the day. Cerificates were presented to Lynn
Farmer, Mitchell Wilson, Doreen and John Bailey. A great day was had by all.
MOTORISTS APPRECIATION DAY
BARGOED HOUSE AT SWANSEA
7th FEBRUARY, 2016
Roving Reporter and Photographer: Ros Walker
With 45 members and 4 visitors attending M.A.D. day on a nice day weather wise, people were arriving on
the grounds at all times during the day. Certificates were presented to Barry Hughes, Max Pengilley, John
O’Neill. Collene won a raffle prize and was very happy, the BMC Badged Riley 4/68 made its re-appearance
after some months having spent time in Sydney with an MG specialist. Another great days outing for members
and all had an enjoyable day.
MID – WEEK RUN – Wednesday 17th February, 2016
Roving Reporter and Photographer: Gary and Ruth Newcombe
We started the day with 8 cars & 13 car enthusiasts heading off to Rathmines for morning tea. We are pleased to
announce that all cars arrived and we didn't lose anybody along the way.
It was great to see Vicki and Ken join us for the day. Once again thanks for the lovely cakes etc supplied to
share with our coffee. The weather was overcast and cool but after chatting for a while we all decided to drive to
Shingle Spitters Point for lunch.
On arrival we had to park the cars in small groups as a bus was taking up most off the space. As it was still
overcast we picked a table protected from the breeze. Not long after settling down out came the sunshine and
once again the weather was perfect. School kids were having fun canoeing on the lake and sailboats could be
seen in the distance. The award was given to Brian Jackson for his efforts of driving his 1929 Desoto for the day.
Once again it was a great day and would like to thank Barry and Andre for offering to help for May and June
while we are away.(more info later) Also would just like to mention if it's raining we will still have our mid week
run with morning tea at Bluegum Hills & lunch at Maryland Tavern.
