CLASSIC LINES April 2017 Noosa Men’s Shed Get’s a Boost One of the many organisations that benefit from the success of our events is the Noosa Men’s Shed. Recently our Club President, Malcolm King, handed over $1000 on behalf of the NBCCC to keep their organisation running for many worthwhile causes. The Noosa Men’s Shed volunteer at our Hill Climb events and seem to enjoy the experience amongst the cars. Well done guys!!

Cheers Malcolm VALE Allan Dalrymple and Laurice Bryant It was so sad to hear of members Allan Dalrymple and his fiancée, Laurice Bryant, passing away last year, both from terminal illness and five months apart. Somehow the news did not reach the committee until recently and this makes us especially sad that we didn't have the chance to say goodbye – we'll miss you Allan and Laurice and we hope the Ford Lincoln finds an equally loving owner. ~ 2 ~ Management Committee 2017–18 President Malcolm King 0438 552 051 [email protected] Vice President Graeme Block 0412 513 241 [email protected] Secretary Carol Croucher 0409 587 202 [email protected] Treasurer Randall Jenvey 0417 244 563 [email protected] Management Appointed Positions Cams Representative Max Parnell 0422 226 911 [email protected] Classic Car Show Chairman Malcolm King 0438 552 051 [email protected] Editor Julie Dickson 0437 207 938 [email protected] Funding Co-ordinator Jack Connolly 0413 420 616 [email protected] Hill Climb Chairman Bruce Anderson 0490 533 843 [email protected] Logistics Equipment & Safety Officer Greg Croucher 0408 884 236 [email protected] Media Officer Noel St John Wood 0407 009 464 [email protected] Membership Graeme Adams O407 565628 [email protected] Motor Sport Co-ordinator Michelle Mugliett 0421 219965 [email protected] Social Co-ordinator Judy Bickley 0412 541 085 [email protected] Sponsorship Co-ordinator Noel St John Wood 0407 009 464 [email protected] Web Master Graeme Block 0412 513 241 [email protected] Historian: Eve Ryan, 0417 476 438, [email protected] Monthly Meetings Classic Show Committee: 1st Wednesday of each Month Hill Climb Committee: 2nd Wednesday of each Month Management Committee: 3rd Wednesday of each Month Welcome to New Members Robert Pettinger & Nicole Lapham David & Kate McKnight 1963 Holden EJ Special Sedan & 1985 Holden 2003 Jaguar XJ8 X350, 1996 Jaguar XJ6 4 Litre VK Sedan.

The rain disappeared, the sun came out and we all boarded the ferry for a cruise down the passage. Our friendly ferry master took us out of the marina whilst explaining the history and natural features of the area. We cruised across to the eastern side of Bribie Island and moved leisurely back and forth whist enjoying a pleasant morning tea. Heading back up toward Caloundra, he pointed out the places of interest. These included the line of sight lights which indicate the correct passage into Brisbane for international shipping. We returned safely to the wharf on time. All members then departed to a local park on the water to enjoy a picnic lunch. What looked like an ‘íffy’’day earlier turned out to be fine and most enjoyable. Many members lingered on, in the delightful surroundings, into the afternoon. Thanks to Alan Salmon for organising such a lovely day. Grayham & Judy Bickley ~ 5 ~ It’s a gorgeous morning as we drive into Flaxton Gardens, there were only a few early members parking their cars. The gardens were so pretty, the sound of a lawn mower was apparent. Even the bees were buzzing and the flowers were out. Where do we go? We follow our noses up the grand pathway, through big red barn doors to a large open room. Round tables set up with crisp white table cloths – this is us. The morning tea menu was sitting on the tables and much oohing and aahing was going on, we decided it was lucky you had to book in advance for the high tea, which consisted of 3 tier layers of cakes, slices and sandwiches together with your tea and coffee.
