Let’s hope 2021 brings us more joy than 2020 did ... Merry 0 Christmas Ian Snadden President DEC 2020 | JAN 2021 Page | 5 Sprocket President’s Message - December 2020 ell this is my last President’s message for the year and what a year it’s been, unfortunately with the lows outweighing the highs most of us will not be sad Wto see the end of 2020 and look forward to better and bigger things in 2021. From the devastating bushfires that incinerated parts of our beautiful country earlier this year, to lockdowns and the tragic deaths of many as a result of covid, this year will surely go down on record as one we will never forget. It appears that as a country we have managed thus far to limit and control the spread of this incredibly infectious virus and here’s hoping that this continues until we have the benefit of a vaccine. Australia now must surely be the envy of the rest of the world and we need to congratulate ourselves on the incredible job that collectively we have all done in turning the numbers around the way we have. Anyone interested in moving to the USA? This year we have lost a number of iconic Club members who have sadly passed away, including two Life Members. Our thoughts and best wishes remain with their families, these members who gave so much may be no longer with us but they will never be forgotten. As I write this message Premier Dan as of yesterday (Sunday 23rd November) announced further easing of restrictions allowing us to gather in groups of up to 50 people in outdoor public spaces. As a result, your committee felt it was now timely to recommence Club rides but in strict accordance with the DHHS guidelines. By the time you read this message three Melbourne Club rides would have been run and I hope those who attended enjoyed a long overdue catch up with fellow Club members out on the road again in a covid safe manner of course. Geelong members being regional Victoria based were able to recommence their runs a month or so ago. Hopefully 2021 will see a return of all Club events, rides, rallies and meetings and as soon as we can hold an Annual General Meeting we will. We have considered running vir- tual meetings by Zoom however with the number of members we have without computer access or ability to partake in such modes of communication it was felt that it would be fairer to wait until we can return to the conventional style of meetings. I guess the planet won’t stop rotating on it’s axis if the Classic Motorcycle Club of Vic delays holding meetings until we are able to return to having conventional meetings that can be attended by all members who wish to. We are also hopeful of continuing our planning of the Club’s 50th Anniversary Rally and successfully holding this Rally in November 2021 as previously advised. There is light at the end of the tunnel, fingers crossed for a close to normal 2021. (continued next page) Page | 6 DEC 2020 | JAN 2021 For the Classic Motorcycle Enthusiast On behalf of the committee and myself I would like to wish members, their partners and their families a Merry Christmas and a healthy happy and prosperous 2021. Ian Snadden, President CMCCV. Who is the handsome young man in the photos? The rider is an active Club member.

The second biggest interest of the day was Nick’s guest David MacInnis’s brand spanking new Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 twin which he had just taken delivery of a few days prior and had less than 100kms on the clock.

AFTER ALL, THEY MADE A FEW CARS TOO..... 2 President’s Message, November, 2012 Another year is quickly coming to an end. We have had a good year, membership remains steady, we continue to be strong financially and we’re still almost free to join. We are fortunate to have strong associations with our friends at LAMB and OECC in Kamloops and others. We will continue to develop close ties with other British Car Clubs. Our membership is always quick to participate and help in making our events, meetings and runs fun and interesting. A helping hand, an expert opinion and good camaraderie is always available. At our next meeting in January, you will be electing a new executive. Some familiar faces will not be running next year and they will be surely missed. To anyone who has thought about donating time, personally I have found it to be a rewarding experience and I would urge you to give it a try. As I write this we have more than 50 tickets spoken for to our annual Christmas banquet on November 24. We still have room for anyone who wants to join in. Don’t forget to bring your favorite photos for the Photo Contest.

  • 2011 Event Report
    2011 Event Report “The right crowd” was part of the slogan that was used to promote Brooklands. This weekend the ‘Right Crowd’ was at Mallory Park for the 6th Festival of 1000 Bikes to be held at this delightful 1.35 mile Leicestershire circuit. Over 22,000 Enthusiasts flocked thorough the gates for the three days of nostalgia and excitement. There were the sights, the sounds and the smells of the iconic machines of yesteryear combined with the spectacle of the stars of yesteryear strutting their stuff on the machines that made them famous and the unique opportunity to mingle freely with them in the ‘Race Paddock’ (Try that at any other prestigious 2 or 4 wheel event!) More than 1,200 enthusiasts had the opportunity to exercise their own machines which ranged from 25cc to 1,500 cc and from 1902 to 2011 in a slickly co-ordinated series of more than 50 track sessions over the two days with Sunday being reserved for ‘Race Machinery’ The weather was kind, the beer tent was excellent and the “Paddock Cafe’s” famous breakfasts were in great demand. Evening entertainment included ‘ The Classic Racer’ magazine ‘Stars on Stage’ hosted by Charlie Williams and a live band in the marquee on both Friday and Saturday but for many it was an opportunity to meet old friends, make new ones and generally chew the fat over a few mugs of Horlicks.... The autojumble was interesting and the 50 strong “Avenue of Clubs was very popular–with imaginative and ‘educational’ displays that welcomed the thousands of enthusiasts who thronged the stands So many highlights to remember, but Kenny Roberts “on the back wheel” or the “Ago versus Cooper” celebration of the 40th anniversary of their ‘Race of the Year’ battle here at Mallory has to stand out – together with the spectacle of the NMM Norton Rotaries in full cry and the extraordinary sights and sounds of the VMCC Sprint Section on the Kirby Straight on Sunday.
