I have had the honour to serve as your President for the last two years. During that time, we have had a change of venue and some great events. Sadly, we have also lost several of our members who will be missed from our club.
We have had some great times together, especially our events which included:
Our Logbook Day which turned out to be a real success with members having their Logbooks updated and then enjoyed some sausages and onions on the barbecue.
We did a cruise to Tailem Bend for a senior’s lunch in August.
Members drove their old cars to Bethany.
The indoor bowls night with supper was enjoyed by all.
Some of you went to the Murray Bridge show and showed of your cars.
The Callington show was attended by members as usual.
We went to Swan Reach for a barbecue lunch at the motor museum.
Members attended the Murray Bridge Christmas pageant as usual.
Our Christmas lunch at Palmer turned out to be a great day.
We did the annual cruise to Mannum.
Pizza and Cruise night was shared with white Cockatoos.
The Patron’s run was a great success and the food was great.
Off to Aussie Apricots for a look at their car museum and a look at their business, followed by a 2-course meal.
Ended the year with our Presentation lunch at Monteith.
These events did not happen by themselves. They took many hours of work by members all of which are office bearers.
I know we have many members that just turn up to have their Logbooks done.
They are missing out on the best part of club membership. For those members why not try a couple of our runs. You will find things of interest but also mix with some great people with similar interests.
Thanks must go to all our office bearers who did a great job. I remind members that they are not paid tens of thousands but are volunteers. They are doing you a favour and do not owe you anything.
Thank you for giving me the honour of being your President these past years. Please treat your new president as well as you treated me.
See you all at our next event.
President
Brian Rainey
