President’s Report November/December 2020
Well Hello All
Welcome to the end of another year. I’d like to say a
huge “THANK YOU” to all the helpful little elves at the
club Christmas Party especially our fun coordinator Di. I hope everyone had
a great time and enjoyed the food. Again, Thank you. Pete Harrington is
organizing our Christmas lights run 12th December. There should hopefully
be more info in the N/L and or talk to Pete at the meeting on Tuesday
evening 8th December 8 pm sharp. You would have all seen some confusion,
discussions, input about sanctioned runs let me tell you that I have heard
and read many scenarios myself. A few us have been researching, talking and
going to meetings of those supposably in the know. Conversations to come.
CLUB Meetings -- for at least the next 3- 4 meetings we will be holding them
at Capalaba Football club as the COORPAROO RSL HAS SAID THEY ARE
NOT ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE US ON A TUESDAY EVENING UNTIL
FURTHER NOTICE. You will have to have dinner prior to coming or bring
something with you BUT the bar is open. There are many restaurants and
takeaway options close by.
HERE’S HOPING EVERYONE HAS A SAFE, HEALTHY, HAPPY AND
PROSPEROUS CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR.

GENERAL BUSINESS: 1. Tammy advised she has received a few phone calls since being elected as president. She wishes to leave the past in the past and move on. She let everyone know no bullying will be tolerated. 2. The North Queensland areas of the club have asked for funds towards their Christmas Parties; Townsville $500 and Mackay $400 – it was put to everyone who was at the meeting, everyone agreed. The Wide Bay area have not asked yet but it was agreed $300 would be given towards their party if they arranged one.
3. Valla is no longer at Valla Beach, the alternative next year is at Coffs Harbour Big 4
Caravan Park. Hunter Valley club has advised they are not going to organise anything as it is
not a normal Valla event. Tammy proposed to propose to the clubs that go to Valla that all of
the clubs put in money for a meet and greet BBQ, Keith Clarris proposed each person who
attends pays a small amount, it was decided that it would probably be better for the clubs to
contribute. There may be an impromptu car show on the weekend, but the details will need to
be worked out. This year will be very casual.
4. Christmas lights run – 12th December, we will be meeting at Pelican Park with food available to be purchased from a variety of shops across the road. We will then go for a cruise to look at the Xmas lights. 5. Christmas Party is on this Sunday 22nd at the Capalaba Warriors Football Club 6. Keith suggested ‘Valla’ should have a Facebook page so everyone can be updated easily. 7. 26th March is the 40th anniversary of the club, there are suggestions of having a dinner to celebrate, if you have a suggestion of where to go please let a committee member know, ideas so far are one of the dinner boat cruisers. We are also looking at arranging a 40th anniversary shirt that members can purchase. 6. Nationals update, the club has postponed the nationals for 2021, Nationals have put out a proposal if any club wishes to hold the Nationals on the Gold Coast on 2021, it was also an option for it to be in October 2021. We have put in a proposal for Easter 2022. Sponsorship has been hard to find as businesses have been affected by the Covid pandemic. 7. Bob Taylor and Mark Barraclough will be doing workshops around the place to show people what to do to have their cars prepared for the Nationals. Meeting closed 9.00 pm

Club Christmas Party Well as most of ya know the club Chrissy party was today with plenty of familiar face's attending, was a great day for it especially in the building with its 3 new air conditioners
keeping the heat away, It all kicked off about 11ish with the classic Heads & tails game, basically if ya keep ya hands on ya arse?? You won!! Then the famous Clarris's trivial quiz started the minds a thinking & thanks to the quiz I now know what "Spelunking" is! Plenty of other high interest questions as well & I believe the Hincks Lewis Bonney's &
Kathy table won the quizzes outright so 3 cheers to us, After that lunch was
served, Chicken Ham & cold salad's, the potato salad "Woz Da Bom" & desert was the biggest apple crumble I've seen, served with custard cream with the side dish was 3 Hugh fully topped Pavlova's, The colouring comp &
pass the parcel kept the kids entertained (& heaps quite'r) The good ole "Celebrity head" game kept the members amused because it was a cack-up to watch & the topper to that was the "Reindeer races" some funny stuff I tell ya, The game of skill patience balance & hand eye coordination which kept the ordinance in ore, "Floor pong" was won by yours
truly with plenty of prizes & gifts being handed out, The Big fat fella in the red suit appeared & gave prezzy's to the kids & plenty of hugs to those who didn't think he was a bit creepy, A big thank you from all went to Tammy Keith Di Tanya Jo & everyone else who helped make today a great day,, One off the best we've had yet, cheers Jarrod.
Fantastic day! Thank you to all who worked so
hard to make it such a fun day! Food was
delicious and Santa did a great job ! A big
thank you also to those who donated prizes
towards the raffle. Cheers Val
There are a few people who should be thanked
for giving us what is arguably the best
Christmas party the club has ever had. To
Tammy and the Committee. Thank you for
getting this party organised in the few short
weeks since your election. To Jarrod & Tanya
Bonney and “Thank you” for organising the
venue, running the bar, helping with the food
and reporting on the event. Special mention to
Melanie and Daniel Bonney who also helped
their mum and dad. To Di Clarris aka
"Minister for Fun and Frivolity". Thank you
for your efforts in assembling the games that
kept everyone amused throughout the day as
well as decorating the tables and spending
hours shopping for just the right things needed
to make the day as perfect as possible. To Val
Hincks and Paula Thank you for your efforts
in assembling the best raffle prizes I have ever seen. Thanks also to those who donated prizes
and bought tickets. To all those members who
attended and those members that helped out in any
way. Thank
you so much.
Without you
guys and
girls (and
kids) the
event would
not have
been as great
as it was. To
all the
members that
"volunteered" to be a part of the craziness Di had arranged. Thanks for being good sports and
to Jo Taylor who ended up in her usual spot “The kitchen!!”. Finally, here's hoping 2021 is a
much better year for everyone and that OUR club keeps getting stronger and better.
Cheers Keith C.
One of our newer members Theresa & hubby Brian
drove all the way up from Ballina to attend the club
Xmas Party, great effort and drove back the same day.
Plus, Col Penrose whose birthday fell on the same day,
unofficially celebrated his Birthday with a cake while
we sang “Happy Birthday”. Even a new member and his
family (sorry I didn’t get your name) but your little boy
had a great time.
Everyone had an enjoyable day

Farewell Valla
Hello Park Beach
It was a sad day for those members
that attended Valla in NSW, when we
got that email to inform us that there
would be no more Combined Club
events at Valla Beach. But then when
one door closes another opens, and for
some that is Park Beach Holiday Park
at Coffs Harbour. I am not sure how many members that attended Valla managed to book a
cabin or camp/ caravan site at the park as we have not contacted the park to get a list of Qld
members. Park Beach 2021 will be a new beginning and will probably have teething issues
along the way. Next year will be a very low-key event as there will be no “Fancy Dress
Night”, No Saturday night dinner, not sure at this stage about a small “Show & Shine” could
possibly drive down to Nambucca Heads RSL and
do a later show and stay for lunch. With no official
show there will be no trophies either, just chill and
sus out the layout of the park digs and how it all
work plus what is around. As Coffs Harbour has a lot
to visit and see, we will be talking to the other clubs
about some
sort of “Meet
& Greet” once
the early
arrives are there because there is a large undercover
BBQ area we can use. The New Gen Valla has ended
up at Park Beach as it seemed about the only park with
a similar number of cabins to Valla (60) although they
sleep different
amounts of
people from 2 up to 8 and unfortunately, I think some
of the other clubs might have missed out on a cabin.
There are still plenty of camp/ caravan site available
some even have their own unsuit huts and across the
road is the local Surf Club and the Bowels Club is in
walking distance.
Looking forward to a fresh change with
nice cabins where everything works!!!
Bring on 2021

JOINT CAR CRUISE TO CLUB
MEMBER'S PLACE IN TOOBANNA
WITH NQPFC CAR CLUB.
The Northern Falcon GT Club members’ car
cruise for the month of November was a joint car
cruise with the North Queensland Performance
Ford Club (NQPFC) from Townsville.
The joint car cruise was to Club member (John P)
place who lives in Toobanna. Toobanna is a little
township north of Townsville, just before you
drive into Ingham. John had invited both the
Falcon GT Club and NQPFC members to the
farm to have a BBQ lunch and to have a look
inside his sheds and garage. We all meet
up at Coles carpark in Deeragun at
10.00am ready to depart to our destination.
There were potential new members that
came along on our cruise for the first time with the NQPFC having approximately 10 cars
that attended.
Below are the following GT Club members and their cars which were on the cruise:
Paul, Rino & wife: Winter White BF (Cobra) GT
Peter & Jenny: Snow-White XC Fairmont GXL
Bill & Matt: Ruby Red Mustang, Paul & son: White XR Fairmont
John & Marissa: Sunburst FG GT, Luke: Green Mustang Fastback
Nick, Jenny & kids: Winter White BF (Cobra) GT, Sam & Tina: Silhouette BF GT
Jim & Janice: Victory Gold FGX XR8 Sprint, Russell: Gold Ranchero Ute
Michael & Margaret: Ford F250 Ute, Paul & kids: White Commodore ????
As can be seen from the
photos, we all enjoyed
the cars on display, the
food and the company on
the day. Thanks to all
those attended and a big
thanks to John P for his
hospitality.
Please have a look in the
newsletter for the final
event of the year which
will be our Christmas
Break-up Lunch to be
held in Bowen with the Mackay Club
members, on Sunday 6th December.
As this will be the final write up from
me that will be published in 2020, I
would like to take the opportunity to
wish all Falcon GT Club members a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New
year for 2021.
Stay Safe Everyone until next year & Look Forward To Catching Up
In 2021 Cheers Peter Auditore

NEWSLETTER No 6 SPECIAL BULLETIN11th October 2020
CLARIFICATION – IMPROMPTU (MEMBER INITIATED) EVENTS
There is confusion in some clubs as to the requirements for creating valid Impromptu Events.
Valid events cannot be created one minute before driving the car out the gate.
The requirements for the Special Interest Vehicle Concession Scheme Guide (including
Impromptu Events) are clearly set out on the Qld Department of Transport and Main Roads
(TMR) website here:
https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/registration/fees/concession/special-interest
It is a matter for individual clubs as to whether they wish to offer IEs to their members. If
they decide to do so, the implementation options are outlined on the TMR Conditions and
Restrictions page, which stipulates the following elements must be complied with:
(a) involves an invitation to wider club members to attend the event and
(b) is either
(i) endorsed in advance of the event by the relevant club or Australia Street
Rod Federation committee (Option 1); or,
(ii) where it exists, complies with published club guidelines as to what is a
valid event (Option 2); and
(c) is listed either in the newsletter, on the website, or social media page (or in
another manner approved by the club or Australia Street Rod Federation, such
as the club calendar of events) prior to the event, and.
(d) Note: Incorporated vehicle clubs should maintain a register of endorsed
impromptu events. This register should contain information on the impromptu
event.
Clubs have 2 options, in (b)(i) or (ii).
Option 1 - (b)(i) is self-explanatory – the member submits a proposed IE to the committee
(or person authorised by the club to “endorse” [or approve] the IE). This alternative is no
different from what clubs have been doing for decades anyway – someone suggests an event
to the committee and they decide whether to let it go ahead or not. Regardless, there needs to
be an invitation to wider club members and a register kept of Impromptu Events.
Option 2 – (b)(ii) requires the club to first set out some conditions which in essence allow an
IE to be pre-approved, provided it satisfies club requirements – the “published club
guidelines as to what is a valid event”. A club needs to be able to produce this document if
they wish to allow members to create IEs without getting prior approval for each individual
run.
It is up to individual clubs as to what they require – some stipulate notice periods for the
creation of an IE. Some require a week’s notice, other clubs 2 days, others hours, and some
say “allow enough time between creating the IE and the meeting time for members to get to
the meeting point.” What is appropriate will de-pend on the nature of the proposed
Impromptu Event. Obviously, the notice for a club coffee at a café will be less than that
required for an overnight IE away from home base, where members will have to make
accommodation and other arrangements in order to attend.
The Vintage Car Club of Qld Inc (VCCQ) PUBLISHED CLUB GUIDELINES AS TO
WHAT IS A VALID EVENT are attached and can be used as a proforma. The QHMC can
provide copies of other club guide-lines which require eg: 48 hours’ notice between creating
the IE and its commencement.
To recap, if a club wishes to offer IEs to members without each event having to be approved
by the commit-tee on a case-by-case basis, they need to do the following:
1. Create and publish PUBLISHED CLUB GUIDELINES AS TO WHAT IS A VALID
EVENT. This must stipulate date, time and a meeting point, and advise sufficient time
must be allowed between creating the event and the start time to allow members to get
to the meeting point.
2. Invite “wider club members to attend” – this can be via Facebook, text message on
phones etc.
3. List the event either in the newsletter, on the website, or social media page (or in
another manner approved by the club or Australia Street Rod Federation, such as the club
calendar of events.
4. Maintain a Register of Endorsed Impromptu Events.
Notes:
1: Some clubs have combined 2. 3. and 4. by using Facebook, which enables the creation of
an IE and an invitation being sent to other club members simultaneously, with a record
automatically being kept. The VCCQ has created a separate Private Members Page for
financial members only (in addition to the club’s general Facebook page) for the sole
purpose of creating Impromptu Events. This means only club members know when a
member will be away from their home (and their valuable cars).
2: Regarding the invitation to wider club members, the invitation must be accessible by a
significant number of members. If for example only 2 people want to use Facebook, while
OK for creating the event, you will need to come up with an additional method of getting the
invitation out, such as by text message or email.
3: While not mandatory, it is prudent for members to take with them evidence of the IE they
are on (eg: a printed page), which is independent of phones and internet access, as batteries
can go flat and there are reception black spots with no internet connection. This is so they
can prove to the police if pulled over that the car use is legitimate.
4: Regarding the Register of Endorsed Impromptu Events, this is critical as if an accident
occurs on such an event, insurers may seek to avoid liability if it cannot be proved that the
vehicle involved was on such an event.
