Next I’d like to thank Rob Breheny, Marg Stocks, Mick Breheny, Kevin Mulroney, Les Cross, Rob Brereton, Margie Mennen, Brenda Lee Milton, Marg Breheny, Ray Kilby and Les Cross. Their efforts helped make the club the success it has been over this past year. Highlights we all enjoyed last year including winning Best Club Display at a number of car shows, as well as participating in successful social events such as the coffee runs and text runs. I’m looking forward to getting to grips with the office of President of the Club and hope that I can be as successful in the role as Rob has been over his term in office. I’m also looking forward to getting to work closely with the members of the new committee. We have been active already, and have addressed two issues which were brought to my attention as requiring urgent attention as I started out as President; 1. To set guidelines for dealing with at risk members – those who fall into the category of possibly defaulting on attendance requirements where they have cars on the Club Permit Scheme. Members falling into this category over the 12 months have all been advised and asked to make an effort to attend as required. 2. I was made aware that there was a risk to our VicRoads accreditation if vehicles which are not roadworthy are brought onto our CPS list. An amendment to the club CPS guidelines now make it a requirement for a road worthy certificate to be provided where a member wants to move a vehicle to our Club Permit Scheme from another club. No doubt there will be further discussion about these points in months to come. For the moment, we have a strategy in place to help ensure we all retain the benefit of the CPS. Lastly, the flyer for the Christmas Party has been included in this newsletter. Last year’s party was a blast and with your help this one will be huge too! I am looking forward to seeing our Cussys out in the sun in the months ahead! Keep on cruising in the Cussy’s!

I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister." I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the "cruise control" and then went in the back to make a sandwich. New Club Mugs The New Club Mugs are displayed for you at right.
