Newfoundland Antique and Classic Club (NACCC) July - Sept. 2008

2007 / 08 Year End Report

Or it could be called the “Rear End Report” Have a guess who? How many Newfie mechanics does it take to fix a car?

President’s Message

Where did the summer go? It will soon be time to put our away for another winter. Although the weather wasn’t very cooperative few shows were attended in and around the city. Classic Wheels 2008 was a success as in past years. From the proceeds, presentations will be made to Easter Seals and the VOCM Cares Foundation. Two scholarships were awarded as part of the 1 st . Annual NACCC Scholarship Program. The Bergs Run was attended by more than a dozen children with their parents or chaperons from Easter Seals. Before the season comes to an end we have another chance to show our cars at the 2 nd . Annual Ladies Show and Wheels of Summer in Clarenville.

As NACCC President for 2007/08 I would like to thank the NACCC Executive for their dedication and hard work. It has been my pleasure to represent the NACCC and its members. I hope you enjoyed the cruisin’ season.

Opening

Prior to general business, presentations were made by representatives of Easter Seals and VOCM Cares Foundation. The presentations gave everyone a clear understanding of the goals and successes of each charity. Jack expressed his thanks and said NACCC is proud to be a supporter of the great work being done by both organizations.

New Secretary

Jack informed members Brenda Hollohan has volunteered for the position of club secretary and he thanked Brenda for her support. Brenda will begin these duties at the June meeting.

Social Events Update

Cindy Howlett said ticket sales seem to be slow for the Classic Wheels. Easter Seals took 250 tickets to help with sales. Cindy said she has applications for the Marystown and Southern Shore Shows. She reminded members that donations of soup, chili, etc. would be very welcome for the hospitality room at the Glacier. Orders are being taken for the golf shirts with the club logo at a cost of $20 each.

Sick Committee

Jack offered condolences to the Kennell family regarding the passing of their daughter. Due to the late posting in the newspaper Richard was unable to attend the funeral services. He asked to have a donation forwarded to the SPCA on behalf of NACCC.

Richard also informed members of an award received by Jim and Helen Ryan’s son. This was a bravery medal for service in Afghanistan. Congratulations and thanks were extended by Jack for NACCC.

New Business

Applications for five new members were submitted. All were accepted.

Jack says there are only 3 booths reserved for the car show this year. He asked if anyone was interested in a smaller advertisement such as a banner or table. The use of the A&W bear costume has been confirmed. He thanked John and Eileen Dwyer for their generous donation of a pair of earrings to be put on tickets. A neon sign donated by Scott Bartlett of A&W, Mount Pearl, will also be put up on tickets. Unfortunately, Black River will not be available to play at the show this year. Jack thanked the band for their support in previous years. Wayne Tucker and Albert Ford agreed to be ticket counters again. Ken Guest asked if antique bikes would be welcomed at the show. He said John Meaney has several old bikes too that might be of interest. There were no objections.

Opening

Jack gave an overview of Classic Wheels 2008. He said that although there were only a couple of booths this year the show was still a success.

Jack expressed gratitude to those who prepared food for the hospitality room and to all members who helped with ticket sales, etc. Special thanks were given to Albert Ford, Ron Snow, Tom Hollett and Connie Hilliard.

New Members

Applications were received for 2 new members: Gerald and Lynnette Biddiscombe Jerome and Christine Quigley. Both applications were accepted.

Other Business

Some members questioned if the show next year could be held earlier. Albert Ford thought we should try to get a better price for the rental of the Glacier. Richard Kearley spoke about the problems encountered with the music for the bbq. Thanks were extended to Harold Howlett for operating the music system to make the dance a success. Richard and others said the club should not book Smart Sound for any future events. Harold offered to play music for future events

______Newfoundland Antique & Classic Car Club 5 using his own laptop. Tom Hollett said the club could buy their own speakers. This will be checked into and brought up again a future meeting. Harold said in the future there will be cost agreement will be signed for hall rental and drink prices. Members suggested the Legion as the location for future bbqs and the car show dance. This will be looked at pending the date of the show.

Jack said for future car shows a special feature and canvassing for sponsors would be a good idea. Members should consider this and come up with suggestions.
