GUIDELINES FOR CONDITIONAL REGISTRATION (CLUB PLATES) All NRVVCC members should familiarize themselves with the NSW RMS rules and club rules surrounding how to use your vehicles on Conditional registration, together with the requirement to carry certain documents in the vehicle whenever it is being used. If you are on the log book trial, the RMS issued log book must be completed by the member before you use the vehicle for anything other than NRVVCC club outings. Vehicles not on log book, the member should phone/email the secretary when a movement is needed for anything other than club outings. Any member with vehicles(s) conditionally registered through the NRVVCC and who do not attend a minimum of three club events per calendar year (not including registration day & meetings) may be asked by the committee to show cause as to why the club should sanction the renewal of their registration in the following year. The Club cannot afford the risk of the system being abused and the subsequent loss of the benefits of these worthwhile concessions for other Club members.

Pics from the Christmas Party
Midweek Outing – 15th January, 2019
Visit to Baptist Care Mid Richmond Centre, Coraki A chance to catch up with Master Craftsman, Motor Trimmer, Tom Shepherd. Organised by Sharrin Gill, 26 members in 15 cars and 1 motor cycle, assembled at the riverside park in Coraki on a beautiful summer’s morning. Sharrin arranged for the cars to travel in convoy and, on arrival at the Centre, we were met by the residents who were keen to look & part with stories of their memories of vehicles of that era. For some members it was a chance to meet again with Tom Shepherd & discuss their involvement with him from years gone by. Three vehicles present on the day, John Gill’s 1927 Essex, Gordon Lowrey’s 1925 Studebaker & Chris Loadsman’s 1929 Chev were all trimmed by Tom Shepherd some 20 years ago. It was a pleasure to watch Tom inspecting the cars & giving a little advice on how to continue to maintain his “works of art”. Residents & club members were invited into the facility for morning tea which gave us a chance to thank Sharrin and the staff for making the morning such a pleasure. Special thanks also to Tom’s son Col & daughter-in-law Karen.
Those who participated – Chris & Narelle Loadsman, Sharrin Gill, Terry & Julie Prodger & their daughter & 2 grandsons, Ron Hawkins, Ron & Nancy Hambly, John Hunt, Max & Ann Murray, Russell & Jan Earnshaw, Jim & Robyn Hayward & 2 grandsons, Ben Clift, David & Rhonda Clift, Gordon & Colleen Lowrey, John Gill, Noel Gill, Robert & Meryl Lovell, Norm & Kathleen Clapham.
