You must pay your membership and supply a copy of your insurance as well as a copy of your 60 Day Log Book. Please check your own vehicle before presenting it for inspection. There will be a BBQ on the day and a mini swap meet. As raised at an earlier meeting I am proposing to introduce Pink Slip inspections combined with dating/ authenticating inspections in the New Year and will table an amendment to the By-Laws at the February General Meeting. A copy of the proposed changes will be published in the Good Oil. This change will take a lot of liability off the individual that holds the Registrars position and opens the role to anyone with a broad knowledge and interest in Historic vehicles. Your feedback is most welcome. NRVC will host the next CHMC Mid-Year meeting next October. Don’t forget anyone interested in going to the CHMC AGM and Rally at Griffith in May next year should be in contact with either Mary Jones or myself. A route has been planned and some accommodation confirmed. Rally entry forms are required now. I was unable to attend the CHMC mid-year meeting so Frank Wilkinson attended for me. Ray Ives chaired the meeting as CHMC President. From Ray Ives- The CHMC affiliation year has changed and is therefore due by the end of December. There is fee adjustment in place to enable a realignment of membership years without penalty. The AHMF Rally is on in 2020 and further information will be distributed. The CHMC contact person with RMS has changed so we look forward to fostering that relationship. Please advise your Club of your vehicles details to enable better representation across all vehicle ages at National level. Census forms are now being collated by your Club.
