COOTAMUNDRA 2590 Page 3 PRESIDENT’S PAR Firstly, I would like to thank and congratulate Gwen Livingstone for organising the 32nd Birthday Run incorporated with the Michael Livingstone Memorial Run. It was another huge success and is one of my favourite runs. The road in Jugiong brings back many fond memories from my truck driving days when it was a busy stretch of the Hume Highway. Now Jugiong’s a quiet boutique town of cottage industries. My first job at eighteen was doing a bread run from Cootamundra to Harden to Jugiong. In Jugiong I delivered bread to Henry and Allen General Store, the motel and all the road-house/ petrol stations along the busy stretch -- and receiving a free coffee at the Amoco Road-House when I delivered their bread. So, Jugiong has a soft spot in my heart. Our gratitude must also go to Robyn Absolon for the cake for this auspicious occasion. It was sad for me to cut the cake. It was a real work of art and you had to see it to appreciate it. A downfall for the day was the expiry of the P.A. System. I didn’t realise that the battery was flat. The sea of Historic vehicles was absolutely breathtaking and to catch up with old friends was an added bonus. So I urge any of our members who haven’t been on this run to do yourselves a favour and attend next year’s run. You won’t regret it. Much progress -- our Webmaster, John Milnes, announced that our Website is now up and running. So, log onto www.cootamundraantiquemotorclub.org and see for yourself. If you have anything of interest, please pass this on to John. This is just another service for our members and promotes our club further afield. Our re-vamped windscreen banners were well received and those with existing banners can have the picture of the wattle put on them by taking them to Walsh’s Signs. The discussions at the February Meeting in regards to the re-vamping the club’s uniforms was very interesting to hear what members say; and it was very constructive. Paul Ballard’s suggestion we appoint our foundation members (Gwen Livingstone and John Collins) to explain our green & yellow shirts was a great idea and I feel their reply in this newsletter will solve this problem before it becomes too complex. C.A.M.C. Wednesday night Workshop has commenced for another term and no doubt Alan will get a good roll-up. Take advantage of this service, enjoy each other’s company and learn more about your car at the same time. March Meeting will be at Harden Bowling Club. Do yourself a favour and have a wonderful Chinese Banquet meal there before the meeting. To book – phone Sue & Peter -- 6386 3365 evenings only, by Wednesday 1st. Also remember to bring your Historic vehicles out for this occasion. Cootamundra members meet at Mowalls -- 5.15 pm. for 5.30 departure. On Friday 30th March, 2012 - Darren Absolon and Sophie Byrne will embark on one of life’s journeys as they celebrate becoming man & wife. To Darren and Sophie, myself and the members of Cootamundra Antique Motor Club wish you all the best on your special day, knowing that this big step will be the best step you’ll ever take in your lives.
