Christmas Brigadoon 2013

Outgoing Presidents Report

Firstly I would like to thank this years committee for all their work throughout the year.

We have had a very successful year with all events well attended. A big thank you to all those that acted as rally leaders for the various events. We only had to cancel one event due to the weather, which is pretty good considering how the weather has been for most of the year. 

I would like all members to make suggestions for next years events when it is discussed later in the meeting.

As you all know I will not be standing for President or any other committee position this year. I would encourage all members to consider standing for any vacant positions on the committee.

Lastly I would like to thank all members for their help and encouragement over the last four years.

Ros and I would like to wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Prosperous New Year. 

Keep those wheels turning.


Cheers.  John.

We had a great Christmas Gathering, 41 members & 2 guests.

Thanks to all who helped with the covered area, even though the rain got to us in the end. We will have a better venue next year.

The van decorating was won by Keith & Annie Clarke with Dave & Carmel Moore second and Faye Garvey runner up. 

See you all at the BBQ and throughout the year.

Merry Christmas

Ellenborough Rally Leaders November 2013 Wayne and Karen

Ellenborough Rally 14/19 November 2013

We had a great turn out for the rally with 12 vans and 25 people attending. A fantastic attendance especially since it was so close to the Christmas Rally.Initially we only expected 5 vans.

The weather was generally good but had a fairly heavy downpour on Friday night. It turned out better for the remainder of the weekend.

Those of you who left Sunday missed the downpour on Monday afternoon, heavy rain and hail but no damage done. It was great to meet six new members who participated in the compulsory activities (drinking and eating). See you all at Brigadoon.

Newsletter 2013.4

G'day all. We have had two rallies since the last newsletter, Bretti Reserve in September and Jimmy's Beach this month. We had good numbers for both Rallies. Good to see so many members getting good use out of their vans/motorhomes. ( In answer to your next question. We are not changing the name of the Club).
A big thank you to Anne and Alan and Liz and Don for organizing their respective Rallies, well done.  

Even though there was no 'theme' for either Rally the desserts on both occasions were superb. A big thanks to all that contributed. 

The next Rally is Ellenborough on 15th-18th November. Rally leader for this Rally is Wayne Cooper. please let him know soon if you are going.

The Christmas Rally will be on from 29th November. If you have not already booked, please do so ASAP and advise Barbara Byrne.

We do need to know numbers as we  need at least 30 to use Golden Roast as caterers.

ALSO Each male and each female must bring a like present of no more than $10.00  AND there will be three prizes for the best decorated vans.

Keep those wheels turning.

Cheers. John.

Jimmy's Beach Rally October 2013

A fantastic rollup of fourteen vans and Motorhomes made the trip down to Hawks Nest. Most of the members attending said that they had enjoyed the Rally. The weather was mainly fine although fairly windy.  Pancakes on Saturday morning were a popular treat.

Saturday night was very enjoyable, Raf  having organized friends John and Sharon, to entertain us with guitar and song. It was very relaxing.

Unfortunately Howard and Louise couldn't make it as  Jack, their dog, wasn't well. We all hope he will be 100% soon.

Liz and I had to return to Port early on Sunday to attend my Dad's 96th birthday. As you could imagine a wild party at East Port Bowling Club was eventful. 

I do hope that Keith and his number plate made it home OK.
It was great to see Annie was able to attend and enjoy the Rally.
