Presidents End of Year Message 2008
This has been a very successful year with our build manual finally compiled and printed due to Darryl’s continued effort. This project was started 6 years ago and it has been my aim each year to get it done. The manual will only be available to club members and each copy is numbered and registered to that member. The cost is $20.00, this was agreed at the September meeting as being a fair price and they are available from the club secretary. Butch was quick off the mark and purchased copy number I. Also at the September meeting we demonstrated the new scales and a photo was taken which we intend to send to Kit Car magazines, as they would like news from our club. We already have contact information in the Complete Kitcar magazine in the UK and they published a small article and picture.
If anybody still has club equipment will they please return it to me as I have gained some shelving so that I can keep it all under one roof, and you will not have to chase around to get it. I intend to make some small ramps for the scales so that cars don’t have to be jacked up to get them on the scales, which should make it quicker to operate and adjust. We will monitor very carefully who has use of them and only bona fide member/builders will have use of them and there will also be a time limit.
It has come to our attention that the slush fund has not matched the number of people attending the meetings, so please make sure you put your gold coin in at each meeting, as this covers refreshments as well as our end of year function.
We have seen several cars take to the road and by all accounts the process has been straight forward and the manual should make this continue to be painless.
This year’s subs will still stay at 25$ and are due now, we don’t pro rata them as they are so low it’s more a show of faith in the club, and incredible value for money.
Well that’s it from me I hope you all enjoy the club as much as I do,
Regards
Barrie Nelson.
