PRESIDENTS REPORT.

Hello All. As this will be my last presidents’ report I will take the opportunity to thank each and every one that supported me and the club over the last two years. The time has passed very quickly and being the leader has been a thankful and enjoyable time and I thank you for allowing me to enjoy the experience.

Christmas is just around the corner again and I wish everyone who is travelling over the holiday period to take care and travel safe. My old primary teacher from Kingsvale Public School (where I was always in the top three of my class ) used to say that “ it is better to arrive a little late than to be dead on time.”

In February or so will be talking about the purchase of a 20 foot container to be placed in position and used to store all the club assets that can be stored in it. I support this idea and believe that it will be very useful to our club.

I will miss our long time member Robert Penn Bradly as he was always an active contributor at our meetings as well as to the Hooter.

Do not forget the inspection day to be held at Cootamundra TAFE from 8.30am on Sunday 30th November. Once again I thank Alan Thompson for organising this for us.

Please try to come along to the Club Christmas Dinner. If going you must phone Betsy to book in.

Yours in looking forward to being a back bencher, Tim O’Keeffe.

Some Past Events Tivia Sunday 7 September --- COOTAMUNDRA SWAP MEET

I met Frank Rodwell at the Swap Meet. I recognised him as an organiser of the VERY FIRST SWAP

MEET IN AUSTRALIA.

In 1972 from Cootamundra, John Simpfendorfer, Col Collingridge and John Ballard transported some

vintage tin, and a 4 cylinder Buick engine block over the Snowy Mountains to COOMA to attend this new

idea, (SWAP MEETS), to serve the Veteran and Vintage vehicle movement.

The Swap Meet was run by the Cooma branch of the Antique and Classic Motor Club (of Sydney).

The Cooma Swap Meet was so successful that other clubs soon organised their own Swap Meets.

By 1975, Canberra Antique & Classic Car Club held one. Cooma Club was too isolated and Swap Meets

began in Bendigo and Toowoomba.

******************************************************************

.

The annual Shannon’s DISPLAY DAY for the Council of Motor Club (Sydney) at Eastern Creek

always gets nearly 2000 cars on display. 17 August this year -- it was a washout. It rained.

Only 200 cars turned up.

Some car clubs reported they had a good time despite the poor attendance and the rain. Even the double-

decker buses still offered rides around the race-track.

well as all our stuff.)

Barry Gavin and John Mackie have recommended some suppliers.

Ted Strachan has negotiated that we place a Container next to the Machinery Club’s Container at

Cootamundra Showground. It will incur a $100 yearly rent to the Showground Users Committee.

Three quotes have been obtained, all about the same, revealing that $4000 will be the total cost.

decide.

Some News for the coming Year

N.S.W.G.R.’s BIGGEST ENGINE

25 July 2014 --- the magnificent Beyer Garratt locomotive 6029 moved under its own steam for the first

time in 33 years. It has been a static exhibit in the Canberra Railway Museum. This July marked the

completion of a restoration project that commenced in 2007 despite opposition that it was just too hard a

project.

Seven years later the biggest locomotive in Australia took its first steps toward returning to heritage

operations.

We will see it passing through Cootamundra one day. A tour into the Riverina is planned for next winter

.Tickets for the tour in Sleeping carriages behind 6029 will be approximately $1400 each.

$4000 worth of coal was estimated to be used on its test run between Canberra and Goulburn.

Past Events Friday 7 November --- BATHURST DOUGLAS RALLY Being far more interested in Horse Power of the equine type, rather than iron horse, I, never-the-less, accompanied hubby to the

Douglas Motorbike Rally.

We headed north along the Olympic Way, turning off 12km before Bathurst after an intrepid U Turn on the highway, to head up

the road that the Navigator had indicated. (--Yours Truly navigating, while Boss of Works drives.)

“This road is sealed all the way” he said. So, what is this gravel up ahead? My precious BMW !. . . Oh Dear!

At Perthville John met up with the rally riders who had just finished Lunch at the local pub, (while I rested in the warm sun in the

car).

Then into Bathurst, stopping to pick up Frank from the Illawarra Club whose Douglas was safely on the Back-Up Trailer but no

passenger room for him!! Glad we could help.

After settling into our motel, John thoroughly enjoyed admiring the display of some 50 bikes in Kings Parade Park – a stunning

display in the centre of Bathurst.

If you are travelling through Bathurst, or stopping overnight, and like Chinese cuisine, then I recommend The Great Wall Chinese

Restaurant. Good food, good wine, and pleasant ambiance. We dined here Friday night, ditching our jeans for clothes of a

slightly dressier code to which I received compliments – “How beautiful you look”. No, not from John, silly readers. . . From the

boss of the restaurant!

Saturday morning we headed for the Bathurst Panorama Holiday Park for the start of the ride out to Kirkconnell to celebrate and

re-enact the start of the First Motorcycle Grand Prix held in Australia 100 years ago.

Travelling on backroads through heavily timbered countryside and with steep little hills causing some problems for the older bikes

it was 19km to Kirkconnell. We came upon Ian Richardson of the Vintage Motor Cycle Club on the side of the road with a very

worried look on his face. He had lost the cap off the fuel bowl and was ever so pleased when John told him “Mother always has a

shifting-spanner in the car”. (Later in the day Peter Gossling was able to make a new top for the fuel bowl using the bottom of a

Coke can and a cable tie.)

The Meeting Place was the lovely old wooden church in a clearing in the timber at the spot known as Kirkconnell. A welcome

barbecue and cuppa was set up here and 80 bikes lined up for lots of happy snaps. These Douglas bikes looked right at home in

this setting of a simple church with its graveyard, and a gravel road just like it was 100 years ago.

At 1 p.m. the Veteran bikes lined up on the starting line beneath the banner and were flagged off by the Mayor of Bathurst,

Councillor Gary Rush, in this re-enactrment of the original Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix.

John has been able to get many more contacts and information that will help with his restoration of his Douglas motorcycle. Soon

there will be another registered Vintage bike on the road.

COOTAMUNDRA SHOW - Saturday 18th October was the Coota Show and as usual we had a display of our club cars: - John & Joan Collins - VW .... Ted Strachan – Austin ....

Barry & Lynn Gavin & Jayden – with each of their Toranas .... Ken & Betsy Harrison – Humber .... John Finucane – Mini Moke .... John Rickett – Austin Healy.... Heath & Christine Harrison & Family – Modern. At the show there were the usual displays in the pavilions – Sheep Dog Trials – Motor Bike Squad – the Show Girl Competion and Junior Show Girl – Equestrian events in the ring and even more. I enjoyed watching the littlies competing with their ponies who were very wary around the balloons & flags. The RDA & the Lyons Club were there with their food stalls – great salad sandwich from the RDA.

When the parade of the Show Girls came along – guess who had the pleasure of driving them

round – Alan Thompson & John Rickett of course - it’s a tough job put someone has to

The two Johns having a Chat

Alan Thompson with the show Girls Really nice to see

John Finucane out again

Melbourne Cup Day at Stockinbingal Bowling Club Tuesday 4th November 2014 was Melbourne Cup Day and the members of CAMC were invited to

a Luncheon at Stockinbingal Bowling Club. Those who went, dressed up and wore smart stylish

Hats or Fancy Dress ones. On arrival everyone was busy purchasing – Raffle Ticket – Lucky Door

Ticket and Horses for the sweeps (CAMC members had a good day with all the results)

Then came the Beautiful Luncheon of Cold Meats and lots of different Salads, followed by a good

choice of Desserts and Tea or Coffee and as if that wasn’t enough – along came Cakes & Slices.

Then the boys had to go and fill their prescription with drinks of choice for the Ladies and

themselves.

Next was a parade of Fascinators which was won by a young lady with a space ship on her head –

very nice. The best Men”s Novelty Hat was won by our Geoff Armour The Fashions on the field

won by Jenny McClintock.

At Last – the Big Event – lots of people moved down to the big screen to watch the RACE, while

others had another drink and talked CARS.

CAMC members were lucky they filled their cars on the way to Stockinbingal, just in case their

Horse didn’t come home.

The Stockinbingal Bowling Club Ladies deserve a great big Thank You for the exceptional

meal they put on and the presentation of the food – the decoration of the venue and the extra

activities they provided – two stalls selling very nice Jewellery – Hand Bags & Gifts – Betsy did

some Christmas shopping which encourage other ladies at our table to spend as well.

Attending were- Trish & Colin Stewart – Gwen Livingston & a Friend, Sandra Seales -

Barbara & Geoff Armour and Betsy & Ken Harrison.

The Stewarts - Sandra Seales and Gwen Livingstton & the Armours in all their

Events Co-ordinator Report Two years as Events Co-ordinator has come to an end very quickly – It has been a pleasure

to co-ordinate the runs for such a friendly club as Cootamundra Antique Motor Club.

ANNUAL REPORTS

PRESIDENT’S : Tim O’Keeffe

One thing I am not good at is report in writing; but it has to be done.

The past 12 months have seen the club progressing along nicely with lots of new members.

The meetings have been well attended and everyone must be congratulated on their conduct. Because of

this the meetings are short and pleasant. I for one do not like meetings. So, short is good as long as all

have their say.

We now have 91 cars and 7 bikes on plates and more are coming.

Our Swap Meet went well, with good organisation and a goodly number of workers. Thanks go to Lynn and

Barry Gavin and the committee and to all the helpers. There was again some talk of getting help from

some other club for manning the gates. This was not needed, and I hope that it never will be, as there are

probably more members in our club than in another club that we would ask to help us.

I still have not met all the members of our club but would like to, soon.

My work commitments have slowed my attendance a little, but I believe that things will go back to normal

on the work front next year.

Thanks to all the Office Bearers for their tireless work and commitment to their jobs. Our newsletter is still

one of the best around. Betsy Harrison has been able to maintain the standard even through illness, with

minimal help. Thanks to help from John and Joan Collins when needed.

John has done his usual good work, this time as Secretary. And thanks to Alan Thompson for his

assistance when John was unavailable.

Ting O’Keeffe has done a fine job as Treasurer. We will miss her at the table after tonight.

Ken Harrison has also done good work with the Events Director’s role.

Our website is proving popular, thanks to John Milnes.

Our Captain and welfare officer John Simp. has my thanks also.

To anyone not yet mentioned, Thank You, too.

The Films ‘ n’ Supper nights have been well attended and were great, as well.

Ting O’Keeffe reported our healthy financial position

Moved Sue McCarthy, seconded Trish Stewart :

a) That Bank Signatories for all accounts be the President, Secretary and Treasurer, with any Two to Sign.

authorised to hand such key(s) to another person on a short term basis in order to ensure regular clearing

of the Box.

Trading, with the Required Fee of $52. CARRIED.

Other Business: Nil

The Meeting was closed at 9.08 p.m.

Editors Report This is my last Magazine and I can’t believe that I’ve been doing this for 2 years – I have enjoyed it

very much and I hope that all the readers have enjoyed the Articles & Photos that I have used

each month. I have to thank the members who have sent these to me, they are much appreciated.

I also have to thank you for your tolerance with any mistakes I have made & (yes there have been

some).

I will see you at the meetings and runs and I hope the person who follows on enjoys the challange.
