Bruce Somers & Lauri Stevens reported that they have decided to continue as committee chairs for the 2018 Fords and Friends event. Lauri reported that 2018 will be his final year as co-chair, and asked club members interested in a larger role with the show to come forward. Bruce reported the committee was pleased with the results of the 2017 show and explained that the committee has met and is looking at improvements to certain areas such as the registration line up. Traffic concerns and safety of members at the gate is of upmost importance. Another area of concern was the food services on site. This has been addressed with Heritage Acres Historical Society and together we are looking at ways to improve the food on site. The committee is also looking at moving the awards presentations to 1pm. This will help minimize the chances of an award winner leaving before the award presentations which have been taking place at 3pm at the end of the show. The committee were pleased with the idea of bringing back a Ford & Friends T-Shirt for the show. The sales at this year’s show were good, but the committee feels they could be better. They are looking at ways to improve the sales. Page | 6 October 2017. Prize giveaways will also need a better system in 2018 and the committee has a few ideas to make the whole process run a little smoother. Bruce reported top line revenue figures for the show. Details available upon request. This year’s 50/50 - $540.15 and will be donated to the Salvation Army. Anna Myers asked for clarification on how much was paid to Heritage Acres for the grounds. Bruce reported that $500 was paid. He went further explaining that Heritage Acres Historical Society also received revenues from food sales. It is their biggest event of the year for both the model railroad and the Historical Society. The committee will meet starting in March and all members are encouraged to get involved. A notice of the meeting will be forthcoming. SHOP TOURS. Gary Clarke reported the tour of Keith Smith’s Garage on September 23rd was a success and thanked everyone who attended for their support.
