PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Hi everyone, another month has raced by, and during that time we have had some excellent runs.
The Kalimna Rally was held in Cobram on the Murray River. Our members who attended were – John
& Joan Collins with their VW – Paul & Janet Ballard in their Triumph Spitfire – Peter & Sue McCarthy
driving the Triumph –Tim & Ting O’Keeffe and their Dolomite – Betsy & myself in our Humber and
Malcolm & Linley in their MK 5 Jag.
That was until Betsy & I discovered the Jag was raining Oil (!) on our Humber’s windscreen.
Needless to say Malcolm & Lin then had to have a tow home to Cootamundra.
Lunch time the next day they arrived at Cobram in their modern – Nissan Patrol.
No ! .....that wasn’t the end of their woes – on the way home, the Nissan had an overheating problem,
which took about an hour to sort. And then everyone continued home trouble free, but of course, this
time the Nissan’s woes were only “Hear Say” as John & Joan and Betsy & I came home a different
way. But we can say - This was not Malcolm’s weekend !
This Rally was one of the best organized rallies we have been to. A big Thumbs Up needs to go to
the Wodonga Historic Car Club, for a job very well done.
If you haven’t been on this rally it would be well worth your while trying to go next year, when it will
be in Porepunkah, in the beautiful Ovens Valley at the foot of Mt. Buffalo in Victoria.
Our March general meeting was a little down on numbers as some members were still away on rallies.
The Rhythm & Rail Festival at Junee was well attended and a good day. Tubby’s Ride for bikes and a
display of cars back at Coota had a display of six of our members with their cars.
Brian Ridge, one of our newer members,was the recipient of the Peoples Choice Award , with a
certificate for a free Buff & Polish from Taprells Smash Repairs.
Brian kindly donated the prize to the club, to be used as we wish.
Thank you Brian.
The Container placement at the showground looks to be good, with the Showground Users Committee
agreeing with our placement plan. There are still some more things to finalize and then it will be all go.
Happy Historic Motoring

The 2015 BUSH COUNCIL EASTER RALLY is at Armidale. No participants from our club?
The 2016 BUSH COUNCIL EASTER RALLY will be hosted by Temora Antique Motor Club.
No doubt representatives from our club will attend next year because Temora is only 40 miles from Cootamundra.
Keep your 2016 Easter holiday on hold for this event at Temora.
This year’s 2015 BUSH COUNCIL EASTER RALLY is hosted by The Classic & Specialist Car Club.
The rally theme is -- A Step Back In Time.
Kevin Cross had his P76 inspected for authenticity and roadworthiness in March and now goes onto club plates.
John Milnes experienced the “luxury” of a ride in Lachlan Valley Railway’s 90-year-old Vintage Railmotor -Cootamundra to West Wyalong and Ungarie for lunch. And then the long return to Cootamundra. GoodonyaJon.
Ken Harrison has installed two SU carburettors in his Humber Super Snipe.
The carburettors performed successfully for the 400 miles to attend the Kalimna Rally in March. Ken and Betsy travelled to
the rally in Victoria in the Humber, towing their caravan for their accommodation for the 3 nights of this rally.
Colin and Trish Stewart 1st March attended the annual Wellington Fair to meet up with friends in the Morris Minor Club.
At the Wellington Fair - Car Clubs put on displays and there is a Swap Meet. There were 17 Morris Minors there so the
Morris club won a trophy. Many other clubs display also. The Wellington Fair attracts 5,000 visitors. Pretty big.
Ken Trethewey 7th March drove his Jaguar from Cootamundra to the Jaguar National Rally for 2015 at Launceston. A week
of events was organised by the Jaguar Car Club of Tasmania.
A final Post Rally event, 14 March, was a display of Jaguars on the Parliament House lawns at Hobart. This is one of the
best viewing venues in Tasmania, and gave car enthusiasts in Tasmania the opportunity to see unique models they would
otherwise probably never see .

This year is Bathurst’s 200th Birthday! 200 years ago, Governor Lachlan Macquarie declared Bathurst a
site for a town. This year Bathurst celebrates.
This year is special. So I’ll consider attending the Gold Country Rally (23 & 24 May) organised by
Bathurst Historic Car Club .
OTHER RALLIES THIS YEAR:
WINTON HISTORIC RACES -- 30th May
WAGGA WAGGA June Rally -- 6th June. (Cootamundra members on Vintage bikes and in Vintage
cars have been attending this rally since 1969! That’s 45 June Rallies at Wagga!)

One of the highlights for Bathurst’s Bicentenary is the BATHURST Bicentennial Colonial Fair
which is on Saturday 9th May. It promises to be a huge event.
Veteran and Vintage vehicles are the favoured vehicles to go on display. No room for Classics?
This Fair features the Convict Barracks. I could find my great-grandfather’s ghost there . . . .

At least 60 cars filled the parking area near Temora Rural Museum so that would mean that at least 120
Lunches were served to us at the Museum. And a delicious Lunch it was. Everyone was satisfied by the treats
that Temora Antique Motor Club heaped upon us.
Temora Club is now 30 years old and this successful Get-Together that T.A.M.C. organised for us this day
proved to us how strong T.A.M.C. has grown.
The clubs that attended The Museum got to see the huge spread of antique machinery and vehicles that Temora
members had got out of the museum’s sheds for us to see.
Especially impressive is the Museum of Ambulances. We recommend visiting this museum. It has so many
exhibitions not to be missed.
